Luxury of Less: The Five Rings of Minimalism ReviewI've followed Karol Gajda's blog (Ridiculously Extraordinary) for several months since reading his ebook, How to Live Anywhere, so I'm somewhat familiar with his outlook and style.
My favorite of the five "Rings" is Experiences. I can identify with the long lasting value of great experiences versus an excess of material possessions and for myself Experiences often help create or cement Relationships (another of the rings) that wouldn't have matured otherwise. Karol does a good job providing the motivation to take action and eliminate the barriers keeping you from enjoying some of the great experiences you've had in mind but just couldn't make progress on.
My least favorite section was probably the Health section. Not because I don't like health of course but rather because I differ somewhat on the path to health and longevity in tandem with ideal body composition. As I mentioned I'm familiar with Karol's other writing so I knew what to expect. I need to emphasize that I absolutely agree with him that the Standard American Diet (SAD) is awful and something anyone interested in better performance and ideal body composition should avoid. I disagree that a vegan or vegetarian diet is the ideal way to achieve that.
I tend to think that some of the benefits of a whole food vegan diet are more attributable to the elimination of certain SAD components. I won't go too far into details since, as Karol encourages in the book, folks should do some research so they can make a decision for themselves. For myself I would prefer to have the lean but well muscled "hunter-gatherer" body type common to omnivorous adherents to a diet of whole vegetables, fruits, nuts and quality meats (with the elimination of sugars, grains of all types and most/all/some dairy).
By way of resources anyone interested in further research in that area might check out the writings of Gary Taubes, Mark Sisson, Robb Wolf (former vegan), Chris Kresser, Chris Masterjohn, Richard Nikoley (not for the easily offended) etc. A little Googling of names will find you their various blogs, books and the results from people in the community. I know the later two have addressed the popular China Study by T. Colin Campbell to some extent.
All that said The Luxury of Less is certainly a good intro to simplifying your life, acting on the adventures you've wanted to have and not letting common excuses get in the way. I also highly recommend his ebook How to Live Anywhere if you're interested in world travel or living in another country for a bit.
