Minimalism. It’s a word that has been tossed around so much in recent years to arguably be considered a fad, but at its roots, what is it really? When you heard the word “minimalism” as the first word of this book, what did you suppose that you might be getting yourself into? A volume detailing the necessity of throwing out your dearest belongings, or perhaps even moving out of your home and into a VW bus so that you might travel around the world?

If your thoughts were traveling along the latter tracks, you weren’t too far off the mark of what will partially be covered within this book, though you will find the contents to be decidedly less instructional.

Minimalism is more than a simple passing phase: It is a way of living one’s life simply and freely. What this means is entirely up to interpretation. To some, it does mean giving up worldly possessions and embracing the life of a vagabond. To others, it more closely resembles a tool that one can use to make more conscious, intentional decisions about the possessions in our lives. To Simple Man, it means living unpretentiously, modestly, and authentically.

Simple Life: How to Live Simple and Minimalist not only serves as a guide to living more simply, but will engage you with stories and advice from the life of Simple Man, an usher into a world where the universe is at your fingertips. Through his extensive travels around the globe, all while maintaining a level-headed and humble perspective toward his life, Simple Man provides timeless guidance on how to live with a more minimalist approach to one’s own life.

Minimalism may be a word that we are all familiar with, but to truly understand what it means to live a simple life as Simple Man knows it, listen in.
