Let me start off with something you already know. Time is a nonrenewable resource. But we rarely ever stop to think about what that means.

Goodbye, Things: Books That Changed My Life
Back approximately four or five years ago, I caught what I like to refer to as “the minimalism bug”. In fact, I’ve written about it a lot on this site because it really changed my life path. Today we’re going to talk about the book that started it all: Goodbye, Things.

We all want to know how to get the most out of our lives. The most fulfillment, joy, accomplishment, connection, etc. So naturally, we attempt to better ourselves with goals and reflection, and we try to take in other people’s ideas through books, interviews and other media (like this website, for example). And it’s all a good effort, I’d say. But broad strokes, it’s misguided. Because nobody can teach you how to live your life.

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that I haven’t always been the most organized person. (Start on that story here.) Even after moving into my own place, I still had a lot of messy tendencies and honestly, felt powerless to change this part of myself. After getting so frustrated with myself, I turned to books. And today, I want to talk about one of the books that turned my life around. The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.

Hello, and welcome back to The Thoughts that Bind. Today I want to begin a new series, one that highlights other people’s ideas outside of my own. I’ve briefly recommended a few books on this site, acknowledging that they’ve made a big difference in my life and how I think of things. Now I feel it’s time to talk about them and showcase them all on their own. These books changed my life, and I think they could change yours too. So let’s get into it!

The other day I was reading an article about how a lot of guys these days become men but still don’t feel like men. It was actually a pretty good article, if you want to take a look at it. (Click here to learn how to feel like a man from the art of manliness blog.) And while it may seem like an odd place for me to be drawing inspiration from since I am not a man, this one post really struck a nerve in me, so I wanted to talk about it.

You know, I’m not a really loud and wild person. Back when I was younger, my life dream was to be able to live a quiet life at home with a partner I really loved. Cooking and cleaning, watching movies together, sometimes venturing out for the odd art museum or two. And in fact, I got that dream. But after having lived it for a few years, I’ve realized that my idea for this kind of life wasn’t a complete picture. Let me explain.
