Matt is blogging about "downshifting" and I think this is a unique thing in nowadays world.
Sounds like some people finally got to the point where they realise that there is more to our lives than work and consumption. To a point where they abandon the stereotypical paths of the societal wishes and listen to the voices of their souls. After reading the article Matt is linking to, I found out that this sounds like a pan-continental plead towards a new way of looking at our lives and the economy's reasons for existence. Are we here to work to live or to live to work? (I also understand that there are strong cultural issues behind this, however the capitalism's supply-oriented lifestyle is slowly entering into a crisis and I am very curious how much yet to get the buckle full...)
