4 "C"s of Gross National Happiness and Study Circles with Cecile Andrews

Do you remember Cecile Andrews from Smart and Simple Matters episode 052?

Probably not … but that's not her fault. She was only speaking for about a minute during our simple living roundtable chat due to some technical issues.

But now? Now you're going to hear a ton of great stuff from Cecile. She's back with me for a one-on-one conversation about where we harness happiness, how simplicity study circles work, and a whole lotta laughter.

She's a joyful person building joyful communities for a joyful world. In other words, Cecile – a community leader who has been featured on CBS, NPR, and PBS and has some acclaimed slow/simple living books – is a real joy to listen to.

Here's what I mean:

If we get people to work toward a joyful community, they don't want to go shopping anymore. They're not concerned with getting to the top. – Cecile Andrews

And here's another bite of wisdom:

When people experience being cared for, they are able to care [too]. And if they can care for their own species, maybe they will care for the rest of the species. – Cecile Andrews

Give this episode a listen and you'll understand why people have been seeking Cecile's simple insight for decades.
