Minimalism Beyond Physical Goods
- Minimalism's core question, "How might my life be better with less?", often gets misinterpreted as solely applying to physical possessions.
- It applies to mental, philosophical, and psychological baggage, encompassing self-defeating beliefs, ineffective emotional processing, and harmful behavior patterns.
Minimalism and Epistemology
- Questioning established beliefs, like the origins of the pyramids, is a form of epistemology, the study of knowledge.
- Minimalism encourages examining assumptions about knowledge, expertise, and the implications of our beliefs.
Declutter Your Mind, Not Just Your Space
- Instead of focusing on organizing or tidying, address mental clutter.
- Consider philosophical, emotional, spiritual, calendar, and even food clutter for intentional living.
