Becoming Minimalist

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

Weekend Reads

Written by joshua becker · 11 Comments

The simplicity/minimalism niche is among the most friendly, encouraging, and helpful communities you will ever find. There is a genuine understanding that any promotion of simplicity is good for society—and there is little concern about who gets the credit for it.

It is a pleasure to be part of such a wonderful group of people. And I enjoy every opportunity to promote writing that encourages people to live more by owning less. So fix yourself a nice warm cup of coffee or tea. Find a quiet moment this weekend. And enjoy some encouraging words about finding more simplicity in your life today.

    Generally it all takes so weeks to successfully pay off such cash advance loans.

    You must make sure that you hire the best web hosting company India to get the best deals
    and offers for web server hosting. A dedicated rented machine can be rented for operating complex web applications and
    for the multiple sites interconnected to your business.
    These methods are extremely efficient, saving companies
    and employees time and money.

    Thank you for sharing the Bill Waterson piece. I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes, and it is even more special that the man behind the comic has such excellent values. Hope you have an excellent holiday weekend! ^^

    Thanks for sharing this Joshua. I loved the Time article, especially since I will be a father soon. It was great input to consider as I embark on the journey to parenthood in a digital age. Love the work you are doing here Joshua.

    I love comics, and Bill Waterson’s comic was amazing! Allison Vesterfelt’s blog also got me thinking about why it’s easier to pack lightly for vacation than to clear out “stuff” from my home.
