EmanuelFrenkelIn my new book, “Contentonomics” we examine in detail these three aspects of Contentonomics, and how best to achieve them.

Contentonomics is a philosophy, or way of living, that I believe maximizes the possibility of well-being in a complex, globalized world. It is the result of many years’ experience working, traveling, meeting people in over 50 countries, and from a desire to live life to the fullest.

Enjoy the site, and the book. I know you will!

So, What do we mean by “Contentonomics”? Essentially three things:

First, a relaxed attitude toward others and the economic community. This attitude understands that we have created the economy to satisfy individual and collective human needs, even if we are unsettled by, and want to change, many things about it.

Second, seeing your work and the effort you expend in working as your link to others in the economy, others who in turn are linked to you, all while collectively providing usefulness and service for the benefit of the community. Also, knowing that your work always can be improved “in the eyes of others”, and knowing that in the improvement of your work, you achieve personal economic growth.

Thirdly, the ability to see that consumption of commodities, whether “necessities” or “frivolities” satisfy the most basic of human needs: the need to survive, to have entertainment and leisure, and importantly for many of us, a sense achievement. Also, in consumption we link to the community, to the world at large, and to the accumulated wisdom of the ages. Everyone consumes at some level, everyone wants something, even at the level of a simple life. We will call this third aspect of Contentonomics, the ability to Consume with Passion.
