5 Inspiring TED Talks About Minimalism + Simple Living

Simply + Fiercely

If there’s one thing I love about the Internet, it’s how easy it is to share new and inspiring ideas. One beautiful example of this is TED Talks.

If you’re not familiar with TED, it’s a “nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less)”.

They invite experts and inspiring people from all walks of life to speak on a wide range of topics.

Watch this if you feel like you’re always striving for more out of life, and you want to be reminded about what truly matters.
