For the last nine years, I have been compiling and publishing curated articles that inspire simplicity. At first, it was an exercise in communicating to Becoming Minimalist readers the most popular articles I sent out on Twitter.
But over the years, it has become more than that. It has become a place where people (every other week) come for a dose of inspiration. And it has become a place to promote and encourage writers around the world who are publishing content about minimalism, simplicity, and intentional living.
I think you will enjoy this collection of articles hand-selected for you this weekend. Grab some coffee, tea, or lemonade and be inspired to live a simpler life today.

I’m not sure if it’s ever been listed on the Inspiring Simplicity posts before, but a book I highly recommend for really anyone and everyone is A Book of Simple Living, by Ruskin Bond. It’s such a beautiful, peaceful read and will make you just ‘see’ life differently. At least, it has for me.
