Minimalism And Well-Being
Many minimalists boast that living simply has improved their well-being in a myriad of ways. The problem, however, is that such statements are anecdotal. Does research back up these personal stories? What - if anything - does science say about minimalism's benefits?
On today's show Shannon and Gerry Arner and I marry research findings re: simple living with day-to-day experience.
Here's a preview:
[5:45] The link between materialism and loneliness
[10:00] How living simply on purpose impacts well-being
[14:30] Cortisol be gone: The negative correlation between clutter and mental health
[20:00] How to use minimalism as a re-centering tool
[22:00] Practical ways to infuse slightly more minimalism into your daily life
Resources mentioned:
- Arner Adventures on Instagram
- What Can Minimalism Do For Mental Health? (via Psychology Today)
