Declutter Your Dreams: The New Freedom of Simple Living
Posted on August 16th, 2010
A book review.
Many people today are looking for ways to simplify their lives in order to reduce stress and increase happiness, freedom and productivity. Here are a few ideas I got from André Klein’s new book “A Mindful Guide to Online Living”
1. Happiness
Owning thousands of things doesn’t really make us happy. Quite on the contrary, each object we own takes up not just physical but also mental space! If you want to become truly free to travel the world and relocate whenever you like and also have the internal capacity for creative thinking, declutter your life! This is one of surest ways to become happier. Try it out today: Look at your cupboards, shelves and living room and take note of all the things you maybe use only once a month or even less. Start by giving those things away, either to good friends, or sell them on ebay. It’s simple: The more you give, the happier you will become.
2. Freedom

We’re working in offices and have only a few days of vacation during the year. Weekends don’t really seem to count as free-time since they are book-ended by Monday and Friday to such a degree that real relaxation or “getting away from work” is almost impossible. Your job may give you a huge income, but does it give you the time and flexibility to spend it creatively? If not, it might be time thinking about an escape plan from 9-5. “A Mindful Guide to Online Living” helped me see this a lot clearer.
3. Productivity
One of the most central ideas in this book is that we can be most productive if we choose to “make a living by helping others” online. It cuts short of a lot of obstacles. It’s not about “making money” but about inspiring and supporting people and then giving them a chance to support you back. It actually makes a lot of sense. If you do something that is truly helpful, people will remember it and help you in return. Money is just one way of symbolizing value. We’re so worried about it that we’re often closed to other opportunities that may not seem to bring a “direct” income but actually produce long term sustainable value through connection, networking etc.
“A Mindful Guide to Online Living” is really a great book. No doubt about it. Highly recommended!
