Also, I noticed that as we move away from the lifestyle of consumerism and accumulation of stuff, the lack of balance in other peoples' lives become more clear to us and all of the sudden you realize that they don't understand you and what you're trying to do in your life. It's good to have support from like-minded people and read good posts like this one. Thanks! Very good points!

I recently decided to cut back on a great deal of media and instead spend time rediscovering timeless works of literature (I just started reading Alice in Wonderland). It's all thanks to The 4-Hour Workweek: "What would you do if you just had a heart attack and could only work for two hours a day? What about two hours a week? After coming across this question in the book, I knew the answer was simple. It’s about eliminating everything you don’t need and filling your life with what you do. Since then, I’ve stopped watching TV (except for my favorite shows), stopped listening to annoying DJs on the radio, stopped watching the news bulletins several times a day, cut back my online subscriptions from nine to two, and cut back my print subscriptions from five to one. "It may be hard to let go of all the data, but do you honestly need to check your email and other messages several times a day? Besides, if anything that important happens, you’ll know. Why not spend some time discovering the likes of Tolstoy and Twain, something I recently decided to do? I’m up for the challenge and can’t wait to get started!"
