Stoicism and Minimalism

I am not a Stoic. I do, however, like to conduct stoical experiments from time to time—like living without Internet at home, living without a phone for a few months, living a year without purchasing material possessions, living without a television at home, living without goals, etc.

I don’t conduct these uncomfortable little self-studies to deprive myself of anything, though. Rather, I want to test the way I live—to examine the way I think about living—so I can grow.

Growth happens most rapidly whenever I step into my discomfort zone.

How about you? What experiments will you commit to this year?
