Less stuff, more happiness

Are you sick of how cluttered your life has become? Watch this Ted talk by Graham Hill and contemplate how you can begin getting rid of stuff you no longer need.


Did you know that we Americans have about three times the amount of space we did 50 years ago? Three times. So you'd think, with all this extra space, we'd have plenty of room for all our stuff. Nope. There's a new industry in town, a 22 billion-dollar, 2.2 billion sq. ft. industry: that of personal storage. So we've got triple the space, but we've become such good shoppers that we need even more space. So where does this lead? Lots of credit card debt, huge environmental footprints,and perhaps not coincidentally, our happiness levels flat-lined over the same 50 years.
Well I'm here to suggest there's a better way, that less might actually equal more.
