Weekend Simplicity Reads

There are many wonderful people online pursuing and promoting simplicity. When you find some time this weekend with a nice cup of coffee or tea, may you find inspiration in these words as they encourage others to find more life by owning fewer possessions:

The Rise of the Sharing Economy | The Economist. The rise of “collaborative consumption.”

Living With Less. A Lot Less | New York Times by Graham Hill. For Graham, it took 15 years, a great love and a lot of travel to get rid of all the inessential things he had collected and live a bigger, better, richer life with less.

How Simplifying Your Life Can Help You Refocus on What’s Important | Mark’s Daily Apple by Mark Sisson. Most of us have so much – much more than the majority of the world at least, yet we live with a misplaced sense of deprivation.

OccuPIE | Pie It Forward. Sarah and Chris are currently traveling the country serving up revolution, love and equality one slice of pie at a time. Follow their adventure on their webpage.

Eradicating Extreme Poverty Doesn’t Have to be a Dream| TED by Bono. By becoming a “factivist,” we can learn what needs to be done to end extreme poverty within the next generation. And the facts are beyond promising.

    @Dave: I’m clicking with the scroll wheel and links open themselves in a new tab 8) Also when clicking on the opened tab with the scroll wheel, the tab closes. And I’m using Chrome.

    @ Dave, you can right click and go to open in new tab. Or you can change your browser setting to do it.

    Great contest Joshua. One off topic suggestion though, can you make the links for upcoming posts open in a new window? The reason I ask is I like to keep your site open because I typically read more than one post. :)
