The Man Who (Literally) Owns Nothing: Radical Minimalist Robin Greenfield On Barefoot Walking 1,600 Miles, Living In Harmony With Earth, & Finding Freedom Through Simplicity


Listen Later

Robin Greenfield is a transcendental environmental activist who has taken the concept of simplicity to its existential extreme.

This conversation explores how Robin's radical approach to consumption challenges our assumptions about possession, examining his 1,600-mile journey down the Pacific coast, his current experiment living in Griffith Park with absolutely nothing, the nature of contentment, our interdependence with Earth, and the liberation found in surrendering attachment.

At one point, he fashions a toothbrush from a California bay branch right before our eyes.

Robin is minimalism personified. This conversation will recalibrate your material perspective. Enjoy!
