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/.

Conclusion and acknowledgments.
The nature of a minimalist's relationships with friends and pals.
Why a minimalist is driven to start over when things are perfect; the feeling of tension and anxiety, and its cause; leaving people because they are "messy."
The relationship between minimalism and perfectionism, in theory and in practice.
The minimalist is fussy about their domestic space. It has to be clutter-free, of course, but sometimes if the lack of contents is too extreme, that is a problem too.
The cycle and continuum from less is less to less is more, and all the stops in between, are described.
The differences and similarities between minimalism and hoarding.
I talk about the process and the rationalizations that a minimalist uses in order to purchase and try to be happy with consumer purchases.
THE TROUBLE WITH THINGS
Possessions
I talk about the difficulty and stress that a minimalist has in acquiring and keeping things, and relate the attitude toward things to some examples involving people and relationships.
I talk about the idea of the book: to explore how a minimalistic personality deals with both possessions and people.
The three main reasons why hoarders hoard.
