Chris Lovett of Less Is Progress shares an excerpt from his book Discovery of Less. Episode 1984: An Excerpt From the Book "Discovery of Less" by Chris Lovett Chris Lovett is a minimalist, life coach, speaker and career mentor but it didn't used to be that way. Quite content drifting through life in the comfort zone, he was collecting stuff, not exactly the stuff he wanted to collect but stuff none the less. Chris had a whole bunch of aspirations but managed to build a prison around them with a stack of unconscious decisions made down the years.

He lived month to month but he wasn't really living at all.
