Your Minimalist Lifestyle Guide

Due to globalisation and increasing supply, consumption has moved ever further into the foreground. Low prices, discount actions and "Buy 2 for the price of one" tempt us to an increased buying stimulus, which turns into the well-known "buying frenzy". It is irrelevant what benefits the products have. The motto "get much for little" represents the modern market economy. The oversupply of products grows with time and manipulates our conscious perception. Here the question "Do I really need this?" is no longer relevant. It is simply bought if the product promises a low price at a high quantity. Now of course the following question arises: "How can I estimate what I need and what I can (should) do without" and does minimalism mean that from now on I can only have one outfit, have to sleep on the floor with a blanket and eat with my hands? Of course not!

In this book you will learn to deal with these questions and make conscious purchasing decisions. You will be able to differentiate and assess what added value a product has for you and whether the benefit actually meets your needs. Once you have understood the basic idea of minimalism, you will quickly realize how much money remains in the end. One thing can be promised in advance. You don't have to do without your beloved T-shirt or live a Spartan life. Minimalism begins with the decision in the mind. Together we will clarify in this book what it means to live minimalistically. You will receive a step by step guide to the implementation of your own minimalist life. With the help of the book you will understand the core ideas of minimalism and then be ready to put them into practice.

What does minimalism actually mean?

Defining the concept of minimalism is quite simple: you manage to get by with little. The idea behind it is simple: Instead of wanting to own many things and a lot of money, one devotes oneself to a simpler lifestyle in which one owns little and lives with little. Those who live in a minimalist way have few, but essential things. The term "minimalism" generally refers to everything imaginable, free of unnecessary additives and reduced to the essential. This tendency to focus only on the essential can be applied to many different areas of life.

For example, one finds minimalist features in individuals and groups of people who practice asceticism. Most people think of monks from Buddhist temples who have separated from all their own possessions and live according to the strict rules of repentance. It is said that these people have found a special inner balance, live in harmony with themselves, others and nature and are particularly satisfied.

We are interested in this so-called "inner balance". But don't worry: if you want to live a minimalist life, you don't have to convert to a monk right away. We will refer to the basic concepts of minimalism and then apply them to our modern everyday life. In this guide, we show you how to find yourself - in your own personal way. Because to live minimalistically does not mean to live with nothing, but to reduce one's environment to the essentials. Together, we will consider what things you really need in your life, what makes your life easier or could make it easier, and what habits and objects stress you unnecessarily.
