 \n\nJoin XR Boston's Book Club as we learn about degrowth\, an idea and a 
 movement that challenges global capitalism and its dependency on economic 
 growth. We are reading Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World by J
 ason Hickel. In our next session\, we will informally discuss Chapter 4: S
 ecrets of the Good Life\, starting on page 167\, via Zoom.\n\nSign up belo
 w to receive the Zoom link prior to the session.\n\nFrom the author:\n“T
 he world has finally awoken to the reality of climate breakdown and ecolog
 ical collapse. Now we must face up to its primary cause. Capitalism demand
 s perpetual expansion\, which is devastating the living world. There is on
 ly one solution that will lead to meaningful and immediate change: degrowt
 h.\n\nIf we want to have a shot at halting the crisis\, we need to slow do
 wn and restore the balance. We need to change how we see nature and our pl
 ace in it\, shifting from a philosophy of domination and extraction to one
  that’s rooted in reciprocity and regeneration. We need to evolve beyond
  the dogmas of capitalism to a new system that’s fit for the twenty-firs
 t century.\n\nBut what about jobs? What about health? What about progress?
  This book tackles these questions and offers an inspiring vision for what
  a post-capitalist economy could look like. An economy that’s more just\
 , more caring\, and more fun. An economy that will not only lift us out of
  our current crisis\, but also restore our sense of connection to a world 
 that's brimming with life. By taking less\, we can become more.”
