Many things can bring joy. In a consumer society, joy is often confused with shopping.

• But is this having real joy?
• How long does a new sweater keep you happy?
• And how long can you remember a fun evening with friends around the campfire?

The definition of joy is very broad. Ask yourself what will bring you joy and balance in the long term. How can you follow the principles of a simple life? Look for joy away from possession, that makes it a lot easier.
