Episode 3187: Explore the scientifically backed benefits of minimalism with Lee Hughes as he unpacks the relationship between happiness, materialism, and living simply. Discover how minimalism isn't just about having fewer possessions, but about prioritizing life experiences and relationships that genuinely enhance your well-being. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.theminimalists.com/scientific/ Quotes to ponder: "Minimalism is really all about the reassessment of your priorities so that you can strip away the excess stuff—the possessions and ideas and relationships and activities - that don’t bring value to your life." "While much research has examined the effect of income on happiness, we suggest that how people spend their money may be at least as important as how much money they earn." "Experiences make people happier than material possessions because they are more open to positive reinterpretations, are a more meaningful part of one’s identity, and contribute more to successful social relationships."
