Terence Moore: Tidying up has way less to do with minimalism than how we think. He says there is philosophical or mental clutter, emotional clutter and spiritual clutter. When you wrestle with these really complex issues for which there are no answers, it expands your mind in a way that yields benefits of living more intentionally. The minimalist rule book offers 16 different ways to live more intentionally.
The Minimalists talk about what minimalism has to do with normal, everyday subjects like friendship, pets, history, meteorology, and entertainment. Listen to all 2 hours of episode 386 on The Minimalists Private Podcast: patreon.com/theminimalists
