"We are happy in proportion to the things we can do without." --Henry David Thoreau
The Happy Minimalist
"At 44, Peter Lawrence walked away last year from a well-paying job as a manager at Hewlett-Packard. These days he does not work. He doesn't have to. Peter has retired. His mornings are unhurried. He sits in front of a picture window to a view of nearby redwoods. Retirement is within anyone's reach, he says, if we all consume less. He lives without furniture or a bed, keeps one pot, one pan in the kitchen, and instead of surfing a television with 200 cable channels, watches the changing colors of the sky from his window." This article shares more about the contented author of "The Happy Minimalist".
