Minimalism, asceticism, simplicity, whatever you want to call it was the best thing I could do for my depression. You might find it helps you too.

What a great presentation. Very inspiring! As a follower of both the Christian and Buddhist teachings it is so pleasing to hear such a great detailed explanation of mediation. I have made a donation to support this wonderful cause. Thank you :)

@@predestined97 One person may look at a menu and indiscriminately devour everything. Another person may look at a menu and judiciously choose a select fare. Neither approach has more validity than the other.

As a middle-manager in the pharmaceutical industry, I had severe burn-out at 39. My mind was polluted with an overwhelming sense of never being able to keep up. That was seven years ago. I am happier today.
