A post I don’t need to write – How To Want Very Little

One of my future posts was going to be around how to de-clutter your life, in a both a physical and psychological sense. It seems that David Turnbull who writes a blog called Adventures of a Barefoot Geek has beaten me to it.

His article How To Want Very Little (via zenhabits.net) struck a chord with me because I’ve actually being doing a lot of what he suggests over the last few years ( in fact it was only a combination of actually doing this and realising that other people are writing about exactly the same issues that gave me the confidence to start writing this blog earlier this month).

However I think the title is completely wrong. It should be reversed.

If you do the things that David suggest in his article then you will actually find that you want more out of life and can have it.

You don’t need to take my word for it though – if you need more convincing then you should go and read Martin Seligman’s bestselling book Learned Optimism.
