Discover the “inside-out” approach to spiritual minimalism for cultivating true happiness free from inner clutter.

Everywhere you look, people from all walks of life are “going minimalist” and getting rid of their possessions. Yet as exciting as it can be to throw out half of your belongings, does it really bring happiness?

Light Watkins is famous for taking minimalism to the extreme—and in 2018 started living his whole life from a single backpack. In Travel Light, he shares his surprising discovery that being a “spiritual minimalist” means you don’t focus on material objects. What matters more than clearing out your closets is how much trust you have in your inner guidance.

Light shares his unique inside-out approach to minimalism using stories, anecdotes, and vignettes, along with real-world experiments and exercises that you can adapt to your own life. Here, he invites you to discover the joy of giving what you want to receive; following your curiosity; and living with a “clutter-free” approach to your choices, values, and life purpose.
