We invest immense energy and thinking in the two most important problems of our time – climate change and global poverty. But what if this investment is ineffective because we are using the wrong approach? Philosopher Karim Benammar argues that we are stuck in a scarcity mindset, and that an abundance mindset focused on stimulating natural and creative growth is a much more effective way to tackle global issues. Karim Benammar is a philosopher and public speaker. He studied and taught philosophy in England, America, Japan, and The Netherlands. His books include Abundance and Reframing: the art of thinking differently. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
