Publisher's summary

Discover Spiritual Minimalism: the “inside-out” path to getting rid of inner clutter and living a more fulfilled life.

Everywhere you look, people in all walks of life are “going minimalist” and getting rid of their possessions. Yet as exciting as it can be to throw out half of your belongings, does it really bring happiness? As Light Watkins says: “If you’re unhappy now, becoming a minimalist isn’t likely to change that… unless you do the inner work to cultivate happiness on the inside.”

Light is famous for taking minimalism to the extreme—and now lives his whole life out of a single backpack. In Travel Light, he shares his surprising revelation that being a “spiritual minimalist” means you don’t focus on material objects. What matters more than clearing out your closets is how much trust you have in your inner guidance. “Spiritual Minimalism is not about how much physical stuff you have,” he says. “It’s about how you communicate, incorporate service into your life, exercise, cook, clean, and express your love.”

Light shares his unique inside-out approach to minimalism using stories, anecdotes, and vignettes, along with real-world experiments and exercises that you can adapt to your own life.

Here you’ll learn how to:

Prioritize and cultivate inner happiness

• Make the most important decisions from your heart

• Get comfortable in the discomfort

• Live as though there are no throwaway moments

• Tap in to your curiosity as a gateway to your true path

• The “freedom of choicelessness”—decluttering your life decisions

You’ll be invited to discover the joy of giving what you want to receive; following your curiosity; and living with a “clutter-free” approach to your choices, values, and life purpose. Implementing the principles of Spiritual Minimalism will get you aligned with your values and lead you to a life-changing adventure!

A book to live by

So much wisdom packed into this book. I will listen to it again and again. Thank you!

Very inspirational

Loved Light’s story telling. Felt like listening to a real friend sharing some of his experiences and suggestions. Will definitely start to practice meditation and Light is a great guide for that. He doesn’t do guided meditations I think, but he teaches about what meditation is or can be. I will listen again and again because Travel Light just is calling me to listen to it over and over, it makes me happy to listen, it’s like I’m supposed to listen to it and learn what may help me from it. Thank you Light for all that you share in this book and on your Instagram. I first found Light on my Find What Feels Good App. by Yoga With Adriene, who is my favorite yoga guide. Light is my favorite meditation guide now.

Inspiring!

I loved this book and I’m going to listen again, 1 chapter at w time, taking notes and trying to implement this guidance into my life. I’ve been watching Light on a meditation series through Yoga with Adriene/Find What Feels Good, and I feel so blessed that he has entered my life.

Inspiring and practical

I loved listening to this audiobook, both for the spiritual wisdom and the very practical guidance on living life in a healthy, respectful and “light” way. Narration is very good.

Thought Provoking

Loved the breakdown and the applications that can be used in your daily life. I highly recommend.

Finding the lighter side of life

Light Watkins journey of simplicity from the inside out is a refreshing way to embrace life and find your true happiness. I’ll be practicing and integrating these simple, yet valuable lessons into my daily routine as I proceed on my own journey. Keeping it simple and relevant.

A book to bring you light
