Roz Savage, British ocean rower and environmental campaigner, talks about how she made big changes in her lifestyle and a management consulting career to become the first woman ever to row solo across three oceans on behalf of Mother Earth. She uses her own experience to challenge the very idea that money and having stuff brings happiness. Defining success in the context of materialism stands in the way of moving forward with sustainability principles and practices. She recommends simplifying and paring down to the basics to discover and become in tune with your life purpose as the path to happiness.
