Becoming Minimalist

Own less. Live more. Finding minimalism in a world of consumerism.

Inspiring Simplicity. Weekend Reads.

Written by joshua becker · 6 Comments

There’s more to life than buying stuff.

There are many wonderful people pursuing and promoting simplicity. Fortunately, some of them are gifted in communication and choose to encourage and inspire us with their words. I enjoy reading their unique perspective. I’m sure you will too.

So fix yourself a nice warm cup of coffee or tea on this beautiful weekend. Find a quiet moment. And enjoy some encouraging words about finding more simplicity in your life today.

    Another great list of weekend reads. Loved Leo Babauta’s piece and the question, “What’s important to you?” That question can be the impetus to simplifying and embracing what matters. Thanks!

    Thanks for this round up. I especially liked Rosie Leizrowice’s piece. The idea of borrowing friend’s jeans that “sort of” fit is a humorous but spot-on illustration showing us that yes, minimalism could be the lifestyle of the future.
