Author Leo Babauta writes, "Traveling light has become one of the joys of my life, shedding the extra weight in return for freedom, lightness, and energy." In
Ultralight,
he reveals his powerful recommendations for:
Breezing through airports
Cutting back on clothing
Minimizing electronics, toiletries, and more
Finding restaurants, apartments, and places to go
Things not to pack
Developing a flexible mindset
Favorite travel apps
Ultralight backpacking
And much more
He also explains how to apply these ideas to simplify the rest of your life, in a "living light" section of the book:
Living without too much stuff
Cutting back on clothing, books, papers, and everything else
Finding digital simplicity
Dealing with the urge to buy
In summary, the author says, "I've found that living simply and traveling light are wonderful ways to live, and I hope you'll find use out of this book as I've tried to give as much useful information as I can."
