Our needs are not only material. Building our own identity means also feeding our soul. culture and spirituality help us fostering critical thinking and developing an attitude to dialogue and tolerance. The attempt to satisfy our immaterial needs is often diverted by overconsumption patterns. Opening windows, comparing different cultures and beliefs, learning how to better express ourselves (for instance, through artistic activities), could help us to find original and pleasant ways to stop the invasive power of mass advertising and other hidden persuaders. Moreover, seeds of simplicity are sprouting all over the world from local communities radically re-thinking their lifestyles.
