The Joy Of Less

By , About.com GuideJune 9, 2009

Follow me on:

Pico Iyer offers a lovely essay on freedom vs. security, and the joy of less. Have a look/see!

"I’m no Buddhist monk, and I can’t say I’m in love with renunciation in itself, or traveling an hour or more to print out an article I’ve written, or missing out on the N.B.A. Finals. But at some point, I decided that, for me at least, happiness arose out of all I didn’t want or need, not all I did."
