Essentialism

This book was very pivitol to my personal philosphy. I read it at a time when I was both very overwhelmed with the world, but also finding minimalism to be this hardcore and unatainable place (especially at that time).

I also saw a good documentory or two on the subject

30 day challenge

I did a 30 day challenge where you give up one thing the first day, two things the second day, three things the third and so on. In total you give up 468 things. Granted it took me nearly an entire year (after two weeks I had a hard time). The following year I did this again. I actually give myself one point for each things I give up. I tend to donate things in batches and always have a pile or box to give up.

Philographics

I bought a book a while back called Philographics. It has a visual representation of many of the world philosophies. I see now that they have a poster version and postcards which could be a neat purchase.

New Philospher Magazine

I don’t subscribe to this magazine, but always buy issues when I’m at the book store. I love that each issue is a topic from end to end. The cover, layouts, and graphics inside are just beautiful!
