“Forest Bathing” may be the Next Yoga (and it isn’t as dirty as it sounds)

April 22, 2018 Kyle Kowalski

“Forest Bathing” may be the Next Yoga (and it isn’t as dirty as it sounds)

Spoiler alert: There's no bathing involved. However, clothing is optional. Happy Earth Day 2018! I figured today of all days it would be fun to focus on something natural. I recently wrote about the benefits of the astronaut overview effect from space — this post on forest … [Read more...]

Voluntary Simplicity: “Listening to the Quiet Revolution” (Thesis Summary)

Who knows how deep I had to dig into "voluntary simplicity" search results to find Katie Barton's 89-page college thesis in October 2016. It was an eye-opening breakthrough for me personally when I read it back then. I thought it was so good that I read it again in full this … [Read more...]

You can’t do ALL the Life Hacks, and that’s OK

A recent Zen Habits excerpt by Leo Babauta inspired this post (emphasis added): It’s something most of us deal with every day, often without realizing it’s there: a feeling of time scarcity. We know it well: the feeling of having too much to do and not enough time to do it all. … [Read more...]

Slow Hack 005: The (Astronaut) Overview Effect

Whenever I travel somewhere by plane, I'm amazed at how tiny the world looks from above. As you go higher and higher, it seems like all our superficial (and man-made) issues, problems, and challenges slip away. I've been searching for things related to air travel and being … [Read more...]

Slow Hack 004: You Have a Choice

I've been seeing the word "choice" pop up everywhere lately. So much so that I searched all of my saved Evernote notes for the word "choice," and it showed up in over 20 notes! We all make choices every single day -- some big, some small. Some are choices related to time and … [Read more...]

A couple weeks ago, I took you through an introduction and summary of Simplify Magazine Issue 001 which was all about happiness. Just a reminder that you can still get a free copy of that first issue here. Like I said in my original post, I was skeptical of Simplify … [Read more...]
