The DO Lectures is an ideas sharing event run out of an old cowshed in Cardigan Bay, Wales. In this series of DO podcasts, Gav Thompson chats to people about how they have achieved their amazing levels of success, as well as uncovering some of the despites that they have had to overcome to get there.

In Episode 13 of Being Amazing Despite...Gav chats to Chris Lovett. Chris is a minimalist. He had a busy life, full of stuff and stress. And then one day he started getting rid of his stuff and noticed his stress levels decreasing and his happiness levels increasing in proportion to his lack of clutter and possessions. These days he has pretty much got rid of all his stuff and lives a much happier nomadic life owning very few possessions.

Given Gav is a fully signed up 'maximalist', they have an interesting debate on Gav's need to own and collect unnecessary possessions and why he fills his life with clutter. 

Chris has a new book out on this fascinating subject "Discovery of Less".
