Everywhere you look, people in all walks of life are “going minimalist” and getting rid of their possessions. Yet as exciting as it can be to throw out half of your belongings, does it really bring happiness? Light is famous for taking minimalism to the extreme—and now lives his whole life out of a single backpack. In Travel Light, he shares his surprising revelation that being a “spiritual minimalist” means you don’t focus on material objects. What matters more than clearing out your closets is how much trust you have in your inner guidance.

Imagine you're sitting on a cushion with your legs crossed, ready to tap into unlimited joy. There's just one problem: You can't get comfortable (let alone still), and your head is full of way too many thoughts. The problem is not with meditation, or you, though - the issue may be with your approach. When properly understood and practiced, meditation should feel easy, calming, and comfortable. In Bliss More, maverick instructor Light Watkins provides the tools for making it E.A.S.Y. (Embrace, Accept, Surrender, Yield).

One of the biggest myths in our society is that you can simply choose to be happy whenever you want, even in spite of challenging circumstances. Or, that happiness is a byproduct of making more money, falling in love, or being successful. But modern research says this is an illusion. Happiness is not sustained through achievements. Rather, it is the result of having strong "inner" muscles.

Spiritueller Minimalismus als Lebensstil Überall sieht man, dass Menschen in allen Lebensbereichen "minimalistisch" leben und sich von ihren Besitztümern trennen. Doch so aufregend es auch sein mag, die Hälfte seiner Besitztümer wegzuwerfen – macht es wirklich glücklich? Light Watkins sagt: "Wenn du jetzt unglücklich bist, wird sich das nicht ändern, wenn du Minimalist wirst – es sei denn, du tust die innere Arbeit, um das Glück im Inneren zu kultivieren."
