Less and Less
This podcast is about the psychology of personal minimalism, trying to answer the question: what effect does the desire to be minimalistic in your possessions have on your personal relationships?
It's a narration of my book with the same title, published in 2013 and 2023. Get it here: https://williamapark.com/index.php/less-and-less-personal-minimalism/.
