8 Minimalist Principles:

A guide to improve your finances and achieve greater well-being 

We all, at some point, feel stressed and anxious for various reasons. Some of these reasons are economic. At other times we have no idea where those negative emotions, feelings of emptiness or sadness come from. No solution you can find will quickly alleviate this. Although there may be external influences that cause this, an analysis of our behavior can find the roots of this problem in our behaviors.

Minimalist life is much more than the aesthetics that represent it. It is a way of living that moves away from consumerism, seeking objective criteria to make wise decisions about what life is and the value of everything. The 8 principles presented in this book offer a simple guide to integrate rational judgments into everyday life, while seeking reflection on what is important. The intention is to help the reader find a balance that allows them to have healthy personal finances while adding well-being to their lives.

A life where we pause and look at things from a minimalist perspective offers a healthy break from the daily grind and reduces stress. The 8 principles presented are not a magic formula. There is a recognition in them that the changes in behavior that they imply are not easy to achieve, and a gradual but consistent adoption is recommended. Likewise, it is observed, during the reading, that the results you are looking for, the adoption of these principles, is very well worth it in the short and long term.

Syrup Sandwiches

 

Syrup Sandwiches

Choose Not to Give Up!

Syrup Sandwiches is a powerful story about a young black boy who defeats the odds. Anthony Owens shares how he became a successful black man as he had to rise above the expected outcome for a child raised in poverty. Even though he was subjected to neglectful, abusive men, he understood the importance of breaking this cycle to become the caring and responsible father he never had. Anthony Owens is one of the underrepresented voices in America - A black man raised by a single mother struggling to make ends meet; he speaks for voices that so often go unheard. Faced with the odds of poverty, an absentee father, trauma, violence and gang brutality, Anthony gives us a raw look at how he was determined not to be defined by his circumstances and make a way out of no way. Syrup Sandwiches is an inspiring story that gives hope to all children, especially poor children of color, providing a message of hope and success. In a time when society is looking at stories that speak to the black American experience, this is a story that is unapologetically authentic.

Anthony Owens felt compelled to write this memoir because far too many children are facing issues such as poverty, bullying, domestic abuse, single parenting, fatherlessness and a myriad of other issues that he endured. Syrup Sandwiches reveals Anthony’s plight as it uncovers how he was able to choose success. This memory provides hope for those facing similar issues. Anthony believes he is the best person to write this memoir because he has lived through hell, and when giving up was his only option, he chose to look up, tuning out all the naysayers, and charting his way forward. His goal for Syrup Sandwiches is for readers to see that even when life is unpredictable and challenging, giving up is not an option. Entertaining and inspiring Syrup Sandwiches is a must read for everyone.
