My gut reaction is that I just don’t see the benefit of extreme minimalism. For me, minimalism is a tool to live a more peaceful life. Extreme minimalism seems more like a challenge or discipline that would create stress. Is this the draw? To test yourself on how little you can do with? Having to be resourceful, ingenuitive and persevere through difficulty?
I’m genuinely asking, I’d love to hear from some folks who derive benefit or satisfaction from this. What draws you? What are you seeking?
I subscribed to some of these. They are all women though. Not sure if by design or if you just happened to randomly prefer women’s channels.
