CHAPTER 1: LESS IS MOREThe concept of minimalism
Many people wonder what the minimalism is. You've certainly heard the word before, and yet you still don't know exactly what it means. That would be perfectly natural. It isn't something that's talked about a lot in daily life. Thais is so caught up in daily life and its materialistic essence that talking about leaving something out is simply too appalling. Minimalism isn't in the vocabulary of anyone today. But it is slowly becoming more common in the footsteps of the "Going Green" movement. It's not anything to be interested in for certain people but it's worth considering.
Whatever it may be, it's best to know for sure what you're doing and take good considerations before making any decision. This book acts as a reference and gives you information on subjects you need to be acquainted with so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not you want to follow the lifestyle. Be similarly warned that if you choose to be minimalistic, you never go anywhere. You're going to want those around you to follow this lifestyle and that's what it's all about: a lifestyle. Be ready for people around you to be branded a nutcase, and you'll probably get some sideways looks and unfriendly looks. Not a lot of individuals are capable to understand or get their heads around not having many things yet still being happy. To a lot of them it is a mystery!
Minimalism is the act of bringing things only to the bare necessities of your life and leaving out the less important things. It gets away from the excesses of your life, and just keeps what you need to live. A lot of people are having a hard time with this notion because they feel they've worked too hard to get the stuff they have and they're not at all comfortable with having to give it up to feel satisfied. The truth is, you don't have to give up anything to be happy, but you can't say you're living a minimalist lifestyle when you chose not to let go of all frivolities, because that's what minimalism is. Live with the fewest things you can afford.
Minimalism is about the achievement of happiness in general. It's more about widening your perspective than you have ever done before.
