I was tickled at the "Good luck with thaaat!" mention. I was *just* telling my husband and my son to look out for that bit of shadiness in the doc when re-watching it last weekend. I've been sharing your work with my family even though I think it's made the most difference for me. My husband (he's French, Parisian) and children are almost natural/instinctive minimalists. It seems like a lot of French people just lean that way naturally? OTOH, I'm an American and was defintely 'stuffocated'. This episode has been fun to listen to during yet another round of delcuttering things I thought I 'needed'. Thanks!
