The Art of Being Minimalist
In July of 2009 I quit my job and moved from New York to Portland Oregon with everything I owned in a backpack. I had no plan and $3000 in the bank.
Everyone told me I’d starve, but I didn’t. Instead I adopted an minimalist lifestyle. I cooked all of my own food, I started working exclusively on the Internet. I learned to manage my time and empty my email inbox. It’s about the freedom that comes from leaving everything and embarking on an experience that actually means something.
I wrote The Art of Being Minimalist to help people declutter their lives, untangle their schedules, and find the freedom they’ve always dreamed they could have. My goal is to help people opt out of the perpetual motion machine of corporate consumer culture, begin creating, and find their own personal liberation.
