4187: How Minimalism Helps Find Our Voice Amidst the Noise by Sarah Moss

Sarah Moss explores how the constant flood of outside opinions can drown out our own beliefs and values.

These include making space for quiet reflection, sharing emerging thoughts with trusted people, being intentional about the media we consume, and permitting ourselves to change our minds.
