And how I discovered in that one moment how possessions can actually become a pretty big distraction in our lives.
Ever wondered if having less stuff could actually make you happier? In this episode of 'How to be Sad', Helen Russell sits down with Joshua Becker, a man who wears many hats—author, philanthropist, pastor, and minimalist. Joshua had a life-changing moment that led him to embrace minimalism, and he's here to share how owning fewer possessions has given him more time, focus, and freedom. As he puts it, 'every added possession increases the worry in our lives'.
Helen and Joshua dive into some fascinating topics. They talk about the common misconceptions surrounding minimalism and why it's not just about getting rid of stuff but about gaining a clearer sense of purpose. Joshua shares his personal struggles with sibling rivalry and unhelpful motivations that pushed him towards a simpler life. They also touch on how television fuels consumerism and how we can restore sanity to gift-giving. But it’s not all serious talk.
There are lighter moments too, like when Joshua humorously discusses his battle with TV and how decluttering isn't just about your home but your goals and habits too. By the end of the episode, you'll have a fresh perspective on how less really can be more. If you're curious about how to align your resources with your true pursuits or just want to hear some heartfelt stories about living intentionally, this episode is for you.
Tune in to discover how minimalism can help you navigate sadness and lead a more fulfilling life.
