Less and Less

Conclusion and acknowledgments.

The nature of a minimalist's relationships with friends and pals.

Why a minimalist is driven to start over when things are perfect; the feeling of tension and anxiety, and its cause; leaving people because they are "messy."

The relationship between minimalism and perfectionism, in theory and in practice.

The minimalist is fussy about their domestic space. It has to be clutter-free, of course, but sometimes if the lack of contents is too extreme, that is a problem too.

The cycle and continuum from less is less to less is more, and all the stops in between, are described.

The differences and similarities between minimalism and hoarding.

I talk about the process and the rationalizations that a minimalist uses in order to purchase and try to be happy with consumer purchases.

THE TROUBLE WITH THINGS

Possessions

I talk about the difficulty and stress that a minimalist has in acquiring and keeping things, and relate the attitude toward things to some examples involving people and relationships.

I talk about the idea of the book: to explore how a minimalistic personality deals with both possessions and people.
