    Stoicism and Minimalism: Practical Philosophy for Simple Living

    Miglior citazione da Stoicism and Minimalism: Practical Philosophy for Simple Living

    “

    Stoic minimalism isn't about the aesthetic performance of having nothing; it's about the philosophical habit of being okay with whatever is there. The goal isn't to own nothing, but to make sure nothing owns us.
