292 | The Minimalist Guide to Living a Happy and Free Life (Part 1 of 3)

  • Summary

  • Life can feel overwhelming with endless choices we have to deal with every single day. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

    In the first installment of our special series on Jonathan’s minimalist approach to living, we dive into how minimalism isn’t just a lifestyle but a way to make better, faster decisions.

    You’ll learn how minimalism helps reduce anxiety by limiting choices and the frameworks to make quicker, satisfactory decisions. Through real-life examples, Jonathan highlights how living with constraints can actually increase happiness and resilience.
