极简主义Minimalism活出生命真意•乔舒亚曾是一个每周工作70小时、每年工作362天,年纪轻轻就拿上6位数年薪的企业高管,20多岁就买了名车豪宅,有一个美丽的妻子。越来越有钱的他拥有了越来越多的物品,但他发现幸福感并没有增加,实际上他的生活非常糟糕。一番反思后,乔舒亚决心断舍离,开始过极简主义的生活。他丢掉了家中90%的东西,最后生活中只剩下288件物品,但每一样都是不可或缺的。这样的极简生活,让乔舒亚的内心越来越充实。他获得了前所未有的快乐与自由。他的改变也影响了他的多年好友瑞安,在他的帮助下,瑞安用21天过上了极简生活。Itisnotthingsthatdisturbus,butourinterpretationoftheirsignificance.------EPICTETUS困扰我们的不是事物本身,而是我们对其重要性的理解。------爱比克泰德•Buyingintoday'ssocietyseemstohavebeenregardedasthesourceofhappiness,whilethebookminimalismdescribesadifferentpointofview:throwing.•Afterreadingthisbook,themostimpressivethingtomeisthewordthrowing,whichistolosetheburdenthatwehavealwaysthoughtusefulbutneverusedorrarelyusedtoreducetheburdenoflife.•Theminimalistlife,inotherwords,isameaningfullife,thereisnocleardefinitionofit,thereisnoneedtofollowtherhythmoflife,itisonlyatooltocollectthehappinessandhappinessexpectedfromtheheart.Minimalismexpoundsfivegreatvaluesofrealizingthislife.•Thefirstishealth.Withouthealth,wehavenothing,andeventhesimplestpleasuresoflifecannotbeenjoyed.Buthealthitselfisnotadestination,butavehiclethatcarriesustoourdestination.•Inordertoensurehealth,JoshuaandRuianmainlyputforwardtwoaspects:lifestyleandeatinghabits.•Forexample,foodsthatshouldbesignificantlyreducedandcompletelyprohibited,aswellaswaterthatthehumanbodyshouldconsumeeveryday.•ExerciseisalsoaroutinethatIhavebeeninsistingonandwillsticktoforalongtime.•IreallylikethewordsofJoesaid:donottakeexerciseeverytimeasanexcusetostarttomorrow,becausewedonothavetomorrow,onlytoday,tomorrowwillnevercome.•Minimalismtellsusthatthesecondvalueisinterpersonalrelationship.Theauthortellsusthatweshouldfirstlearnhowtodefinetherelationshipbetweenthepeoplearoundusandourselves.Andsharethetimewiththem.•Atthesametime,theytellaveryimportantfact:changethemselvesinsteadofothers.Undernocircumstancesshouldweexpectotherstochangetoconformtoourstandards,beliefsorvalues.•Therefore,sometimeswecanchoosetodiscardcertainrelationshipsinordertofindpeoplewhoareverymuchinlinewiththeirtastes.•Whenweareconfusedandoverwhelmedininterpersonalcommunication,wemustremembertheT.A.R.Arule:Tolerance,Acceptance,RespectandAppreciation.•EnthusiasmisthethirdgreatvaluethatMinimalismconveystous.•Onlywithpassioncanweknowwhatweloveandwhatweaspireto.Getridofthecertaintyofmoneyandtheshacklesthatonceformed,getoutofthedullworld,andnotbeboundbymoney.•Secondly,enthusiasmwillleadtomoreenthusiasm,sothatwewillneverhesitatetoexploretheunknownanddiscovernewthingstoachievebetterself.•Thelasttwovaluesaregrowthanddedication.Theauthorsaidthatthesetwovaluesjointlyformedthemeaningofourlife.•OneofQiaoYashu'swordsisveryclassic:ifyoudon'tgrowup,youaregoingtodeath,andifyouaregoingtodeath,it'sclearthatyouarelivingameaninglesslife.•Theso-calledgrowthistheprocessofchange,allofthechangesaregraduallyaccumulatedthroughthegradualimprovementofthesmallaspectseveryday,andtherearefewpeoplewhocanleapagiant.•Asfordedication,Ruiansays:dedicationisaninstinct.Whenapersongrowsuptoacertainlevel,helearnstogive,andgrowthleadstodedication.•Theauthorsofminimalism,QiaoYashuandRuian,haverepeatedlymentionedinthebookthatthemostdirectinterpretationofminimalismistothrowawaythingsthatwillincreaseourburdeninlife.Forexample,television,computers,wirelessnetworks,andeventime.Infact,afterreadingthisbook,Iagreewiththeirotherinsignificantviewonthemountain-livinginthepresent.Enjoyyourlifenow.Forsomethings,wedon'thavetoworryaboutit.Waitaminute,maybesomethingdifferentwillhappen.FROMGROUP.4THANKU!
