The Minimalist Guide for Beginners: An Easy Step-By-Step Guide to a Decluttered, Refocused and Simplified Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781794653153)

Most of us have this idea that the more stuff, money, people and commitments that we have, the happier we will be. There is some unsaid fallacy that more is equivalent to a better, happier life.

But if you've gone done this path, you perhaps know all too well that happiness is fleeting. Or do I say that our idea of happiness is highly volatile and constantly changing, depending on our situation.

That's why for most people, when our income increases, we start craving for much more. And the more people we have in our lives, the more we crave for more attention, recognition and such. The more assets we have, the greater the desire to have more. It is as if we are always on autopilot checking stuff off our endless list of desires, must haves, people, decisions etc. If one item is off the list, we go to the next item and crave for it as if that's the one thing that will make all the difference- we don't settle until we get it. But we don't even experience lasting happiness after we get it; happiness just fades away shortly after.

If you've been through this path, you know it is a road filled with stress, anxiety, disappointment, and depression and no lasting happiness can thrive in such an environment.
