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.
INSIGHT

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.
ADVICE

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.
