Voluntary Simplicity


Voluntary Simplicity

Philip Slater


To achieve its goal, voluntary simplicity must be undertaken in the spirit of adventure.... Richard Gregg, who coined the term in 1936, once complained to Gandhi that while he had no trouble giving up most things he couldn't let go of his books. Gandhi told him he shouldn't try: "As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, you should keep it." He pointed out that if you give things up out of a sense of duty or self-sacrifice, they continue to preoccupy you and clutter your mind.
