I agree that the article by Vivek is totally misinformed. I've taken a couple stabs at minimalism (of possessions) in my life, staring when I moved from Austin to Seattle in 1995. I'm doing so again after relocating from Seattle to San Fran

Although I love the idea, it would seem difficult for most of us to pry away from our family and go somewhere for a week to do this. It might be easier to send them off for a week, but with a wife who doesn't feel that she gets enough of my
