Is Minimalism For The Rich?

No, people look at me all the time and they're like, man, you're a millionaire. You got all this stuff, house, cars, all this stuff. They're like what about that you know, are you going to upgrade that thing? I'm like, no. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm like, I'm going to take it and I'm going to fix it. I've I replaced batteries and things that you shouldn't replace batteries. And I've got a soldering kit. I fix just because I believe that objects have a spirit to them, not in a woo-woo sense but I believe everything has a utility and I think there's they're like to your point, there's great value in being able to fix something and to reuse it. 

The fact is that we're constantly accustomed to dopamine release now with social media with tick-tock with Instagram with all the stuff we're constantly getting dopamine hits. What's that do to our brain? It changes the way that our neurons are firing in our brain. So if you have a book that you haven't read and it's hanging around and every day you're looking at that book cover, you're doing yourself a disservice. Cover any books until you're ready to read them. I'll tell you this now with a white cover or a blank cover. Why? 

Because your brain every day that's looking at that cover is becoming less and less interested in it. Why? Because novelty. Our brains adapted through evolution to seek novelty. And when we don't have that novelty, it's no longer interesting to us. So what do I do? Rather than upgrading my cell phone, my mobile phone, I upgrade my mobile phone case as much as possible. I've got five or six different colors of mobile phone cases.
