I've liked this guy's op-eds for a long time and not just because he grew up on a farm in Oregon (but maybe partly because of it).
Santosha (सन्तोष) (contentment) is one of the niyamas of Yoga as listed by Patanjali.[1] Contentment is variously described, but can be thought of as not coveting more than you have and is therefore very different to the way some modern western societies encourage the population to acquire more 'stuff' to achieve contentment. It may be seen as renunciation (of the need to acquire).
