The longing for less : living with minimalism / by Chayka, Kyle,author.;
"Kyle Chayka is one of our sharpest cultural observers. After spending years covering minimalist trends for leading publications, he now delves beneath this lifestyle's glossy surface, seeking better ways to claim the time and space we crave. He shows that our longing for less goes back further than we realize. His search leads him to the philosophical and spiritual origins of minimalism, and to the stories of artists such as Agnes Martin and Donald Judd; composers such as John Cage and Julius Eastman; architects and designers; visionaries and misfits. As Chayka looks anew at their extraordinary lives and explores the places where they worked--from Manhattan lofts to the Texas high desert and the back alleys of Kyoto--he reminds us that what we most require is presence, not absence. The result is an elegant new synthesis of our minimalist desires and our profound emotional needs"--Reduction -- Emptiness -- Silence -- Shadow.Includes bibliographical references (pages 235-247) and index.

Everything that remains : a memoir by The Minimalists / by Millburn, Joshua Fields.(CARDINAL)605751; Nicodemus, Ryan.(CARDINAL)605752;
Pt. 1. Everything -- pt. 2. Remains.What if everything you ever wanted isn't what you actually want? Twenty-something, suit-clad, and upwardly mobile, Joshua Fields Millburn thought he had everything anyone could ever want. Until he didn't anymore. Blindsided by the loss of his mother and his marriage in the same month, Millburn started questioning every aspect of the life he had built for himself. Then, he accidentally discovered a lifestyle known as minimalism... and everything started to change. In the pursuit of looking for something more substantial than compulsory consumption and the broken American Dream, he jettisoned most of his material possessions, paid off loads of crippling debt, and walked away from his six-figure career. So, when everything was gone, what was left? Not a how-to book but a why-to book, Everything That Remains is the touching, surprising story of what happened when one young man decided to let go of everything and begin living more deliberately. Heartrending, uplifting, and deeply personal, this engrossing memoir is peppered with insightful (and often hilarious) interruptions by Ryan Nicodemus, Millburn's best friend of twenty years.

Escape everything! / by Wringham, Robert,author.(CARDINAL)838027; Cain, David D.,writer of foreword.;
"We are all trapped by modern life. Trapped! Trapped by work, consumerism, stress, debt, isolationism and general unhappiness. We will each spend an average of 87,000 hours at work before we die. We will spend another 5,000 hours getting to and from work and countless more preparing for work. Worrying about work. Recovering from work. The majority of us hate our jobs. But without work, we can't buy all the things we've been told we should want and need, so around we go. Through the pages of New Escapologist magazine, Robert Wringham has been studiously examining the traps of modern life, questioning where our commitment to them stems from and why we are so unable to break free. Taking inspiration from the great escapologist Harry Houdini - who escaped from jail cells, straitjackets, and even the innards of a dead whale - Wringham applies Houdini's feats as a metaphor for real life, proposing the principle of Escapology as a way to cut loose our shackles. Become a modern-day Escapologist and freedom and happiness might be possible after all."--Publisher's description.

El plan consigue todo sin comprar nada : descubre la alegría de gastar menos, compartir más y vivir con generosidad / by Clark, Liesl,1966-author.(CARDINAL)831855; Rockefeller, Rebecca,author.(CARDINAL)831856;
Includes bibliographical references.Descubre la verdadera libertad y felicidad que viene de comprar menos y compartir más. En 2013, las amigas Liesl Clark y Rebecca Rockefeller se dieron cuenta de la cantidad de residuos que había en sus playas locales -desde plumas y popotes hasta juguetes y cepillos de dientes- y decidieron hacer algo al respecto. Así nació el proyecto Buy Nothing. Lo que comenzó como un grupo experimental e hiperlocal de vecinos que compartían y juntaban recursos, se convirtió en un movimiento social viral de más de un millón de miembros. Inspirado en las economías de regalo tradicionales, este libro revela una nueva y liberadora forma de vida. Su programa de siete pasos con conciencia medioambiental te ayudará a convertir tu desorden en un tesoro, a pasar menos tiempo comprando y más tiempo conectando y a dejar de lado la necesidad de comprar cosas nuevas. Lleno de listas útiles, como 50 artículos que nunca necesitas comprar (bolsas herméticas y toallas de papel) o 50 cosas para hacer (limpiadores domésticos y aderezos para ensaladas), El plan consigue todo sin comprar nada te anima a repensar las compras y a adoptar una mentalidad de ahorro de espacio, dinero y tiempo.Inspired by the ancient practice of gift economies, where neighbors share and pool resources, Liesl Clark and Rebecca Rockefeller's plan introduces an environmentally conscious seven-step guide that teaches listeners how to buy less, give more, and live generously.
