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."
