The Philosophy of Minimalism | Ancient Wisdom for Living a Good Life

The philosophy of minimalism. Spending some time living abroad, with only a fraction of my stuff made me think about minimalism and what is essential for me. I realized something that many ancient philosophers have known for a long time: We don't need much to be happy.

We tend to work very hard and put a lot of effort into obtaining things that we don't really need and that is not going to improve our well-being. Trying to live with less can help us identify, what's essential, so we can focus our attention on the things that truly bring us happiness. In this video, I will share my thoughts on minimalism and also talk about the perspectives of people like Epicurus, Seneca, and Henry David Thoreau.
