Simple living means choosing a lifestyle that involves owning fewer possessions and focusing on needs instead of desires.
People choose this lifestyle for many different reasons. Some decide to live simply because of their views on health, economy, or philosophy. Others want to protect the environment or simply prefer a simple lifestyle.
Famous people who chose the simple living lifestyle include Francis of Assisi, Leo Tolstoy, Rabindranath Tagore, Albert Schweitzer, Mohandas Gandhi, and Henry David Thoreau. The Amish live simply by using only things that are described in the Bible.
