What are you currently reading? And bonus points if you can somehow find a connection to simple living, even if it is not about simple living.

I’ll start: I’m currently reading The Arabian Nights by Sir Richard Burton and… well it is grim but I love the simplicity of the short stories. I can pick the book, read a page or two inbetween chores while relaxing, and put the book back down.

(Sorry mod if this does not fit the community, I’ll delete if it doesn’t!)

    Is this Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown? Hope you can enjoy the book now! I’ve been really into minimalism and simple living for couple of years now as well, but was too afraid to pick up books about those things due to burning out in a similar way as you when I was really into productivity.

    Reading fiction inbetween is really good advice. And hey since you are into minimalism, if you haven’t found !minimalism@lemmy.world on lemmy yet, there it is :)
