Scarcity narrows your focus to your immediate lack, to the meeting that’s starting in 5 minutes or bills that need to be paid tomorrow. The long term perspective goes out of the window. — Rutger Bregman

The root cause…

We behave differently when we perceive a thing to be scarce. Scarcity impinges on your mind. — Rutger Bregman

Scarcity consumes you. You’re less able to focus on other things that are also important to you. — Eldar Shafir

Poor people have an analogous problem. They’re not making poor decisions because they’re dumb, but because they’re living in a context in which anyone would make dumb decisions. — Rutger Bregman

How do you overcome a scarcity mindset?
