A Minimalistic life

December 14, 2025

Nomadic minimalism that is fast getting popular among urban people worldwide is a lifestyle that combines travelling and moving with a minimalist approach, prioritizing experiences over possessions. This involves owning very few things which makes travel easier and more flexible. The philosophy extends beyond physical belongings to include a focus on experiences, mental clarity and reducing one's environmental impact

In spite of the unapologetic embrace of the motto “more is more” by Gen Z, growing up mostly online, happiness has remained elusive to many of this generation across the globe. Consequently, what is getting thin is their well-cherished faith of finding peace, bliss and assertive self-expression in astronomical salary, luxury cars, new gadgets, and all-pervasive opulence.

Many of this generation discover at the end of the day that they are not happy despite working 70 to 80 hours a week. And the endless pursuit of more stuff is found to bring them more debt, anxiety, fear, stress, loneiness, guilt, paranoia and depression. It becomes a solipsistic experience.

What is worse, they discover that they have no control of their time and thus of their lives. And then, as their lives spiral downwards towards an empty oblivion, they inadvertently discover minimalism which appears like a beacon in the dark sea. The renewed discovery of a mode of simple living where people find genuine happiness, passion and freedom has found favour with agreat number of people, including millennials, around the globe. People fed up with more seek happiness in less. They want to live a life which is filled with passion and freedom, alife in which they can grow as individuals and contribute beyond themselves. They realize that growth and contribution are the bedrocks of happiness, not goods.
