1 h 17 Min

"We should not allow things like simplicity to be taken away from us."

Less is not always more. Sometimes simpler is more. 
This is especially true if you want to live freely and more easily. The philosopher Dr. Jörg Bernardy has dedicated himself to the principle of simplicity. For him, simplicity is more than just material renunciation. It is an inner attitude.

"We have many opportunities for which we can be grateful."

An important part of the principle of simplicity: gratitude. In conversation with Georgiy Michailov, Bernardy reminds us what we can simply be grateful for. He has packaged his findings into 22 philosophical insights that can help us to make our lives simpler. 

"Longing shows you where you actually want to go."

In this SMP LeaderTalk, he shares these insights. The two talk about beliefs - and reformulate them. They also talk about what we can achieve if we take a close look at our desires and the three insights Bernardy recommends for a simpler life.
