Discover minimalisam- Adrian Pepperdine (170125)
Socrates once said, “The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.”
अत्यंत गरजेच्या व कमीत कमी वस्तूंचा वापर करुन जीवन जगणं, Impulsive खरेदी न करणं, उपभोग मर्यादेत ठेवणं म्हणजे minimalisam
Minimalisam lifestyle म्हणजे काय? ती कशी अंमलात आणायची? त्याचे फायदे काय याची थोडक्यात, मुद्देसूद माहिती या पुस्तकात आहे.
बऱ्याचदा आपण गरज नसताना वस्तू खरेदी करतो. खूप सारे कपडे, शूज, पेन इत्यादी वस्तूंनी आपले कपाट, टेबल, ड्रॉवर भरलेले असते. भविष्यात कधीतरी उपयोगी पडेल म्हणून आपण वस्तू संग्रही ठेवत राहतो. यामुळे आपल्यावर नकळत ताण येतो, जीवनात अव्यवस्था येते.
मागील 100 दिवसात न वापरलेल्या वस्तू Declutter करा. (काढून टाका -डोनेट करणे किंवा फेकून देणे ) simple जीवन जगायची ती सुरुवात आहे.
कोणाशी स्पर्धा नको, दिखावा नको, काही सिद्ध करणं नको, अती उपभोग नको असं ताण तणाव रहित simple जीवन फ्लो मध्ये जगणं म्हणजे आनंद (Happiness )
(यश आणि आनंदाची व्याख्या प्रत्येकाची वेगवेगळी असू शकते.)

Eat less animal-derived products. Support your local markets, farmers and producers.
👉🏻“We really must understand that the lust for affluence in contemporary society is psychotic. It is psychotic because it has completely lost touch with reality. We crave things we neither need nor enjoy.”
👉🏻“If one’s life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements.”
👉🏻“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
