Just watched the video. Here's a man who finds his own way to happiness by having as little material things as possible, and going against the trend of modern society. And he is not the only one. A while back, I posted a link to a Web site called "Tiny House Blog" that showcases many minimal housing arrangements with a lot less square footage than Peter's apartment.
I have been thinking about decluttering and getting rid of stuff, but I would not be happy to go that far. But who am I to say how someone else shouldn't be happy with a space so sparse? And then, same as another poster, I wonder if he could be in a smaller space, a studio for example? Or to be like people in the "Tiny House Blog" who tend to be out in the countryside to be a bit closer to nature than being inside the city? But there, I just commented on how I thought someone should do this or that with his life!
Ironically, it is only within modern society that Peter can live with such a spartan surrounding. In older times, a person living by himself in a log cabin would need a pile of wood to keep warm in the winter, storage of provisions as he cannot just buy the daily consumption from a neighborhood grocery store, some tools, weapons for hunting and self-defense, etc... Some clutter was always required back then, or a person would not survive for very long.
