Jeffrey Sachs: "The Price of Civilization (*2)"





"Mindfulness, I would suggest, is crucial in eight dimensions of our life:

  • Mindfulness of Self: personal moderation to escape mass consumerism
  • Mindfulness of work: the balancing of work and leisure
  • Mindfulness of knowledge: the cultivation of education and learning
  • Mindfulness of others: the exercise of compassion and cooperation
  • Mindfulness of nature: the conservation of the world’s ecosystems
  • Mindfulness of the future: the responsibility to save for the future and consider future generations.
  • Mindfulness of politics: the cultivation of public deliberation and shared values for collective action through political institutions.
  • Mindfulness of the world: the acceptance of diversity as a path to peace."
