From filmmakers like Matt D'Avella to corporations like EA, minimalism has become as much integrated into pop culture as Instagram. But what is it really like to be a minimalist? Does being it mean you have to become this emotionless zombie who live a stark and barren life having as little possessions as possible? Find out the answers to some of the common presumptions like that and much more in this episode of The Stop Breathe Think Podcast where I'm joined by Jin Whan Bae, a nuclear scientist working at Oakridge National Labs in USA.
