    They began to talk about advertising.At first, almost everyone declared that ads might affect other people but didn’t hold much sway over them.Everyone wants to be smarter than the ad, Nathan said to me later.But he guided them back to the consumer objects they had longed for.There’s no way they’re spending billions of dollars if it’s not having an impact.They’re just not doing that.No company is going to do that.So far, it had been about getting people to question the junk values we have been fed for so long.But then came the most important part of this experiment.Nathan explained the difference that I talked about before between extrinsic and intrinsic values.How would you live differently if you acted on these other values?Members of the groups discussed it.They were surprised.We are constantly encouraged to talk about extrinsic values, but the moments when we are asked to speak our intrinsic values out loud are rare.Some said, for example, they would work less and spend more time with the people they loved.Nathan wasn’t making the case for any of this.Just asking a few open questions took most of the group there spontaneously.Our intrinsic motivations are always there, Nathan realized, lying dormant.It was brought out into the light, he said.Conversations like this, Nathan was realizing, don’t just happen in our culture today.Could they consciously nurture meaningful values?Now that each person had figured out his or her own intrinsic goals, they would report back at the next series of meetings about what they’d done to start moving toward them.They now had a space in which they could think about what they really wanted in life, and how to achieve it.They would talk about how they had found a way to work less and see their kids more, for example, or how they had taken up a musical instrument, or how they had started to write.Nobody knew whether all this would have any real effect, though.Could these conversations really reduce people’s materialism and increase their intrinsic values?Independent social scientists measured the levels of materialism of the participants at the start of the experiment, and they measured them again at the end.As he waited for the results, Nathan was nervous.This was a small intervention, in the middle of a lifetime of constant consumerist bombardment.Would it make any difference at all?When the results came through, both Nathan and Tim were thrilled.Tim had shown before that materialism correlates strongly with increased depression and anxiety.This experiment showed, for the first time, that it was possible to intervene in people’s lives in a way that would significantly reduce their levels of materialism.It was a big and measurable effect.3It was an early shot of proof that a determined effort to reverse the values that are making us so unhappy works.The people who took part in the study could never have made these changes alone, Nathan believes.Most of us sense we have been valuing the wrong things for too long.
