A thimble of prevention is more effective than a truckload of treatment.
Excess is toxic.
The opposite of addiction isn't sobriety—it’s purpose.
Self-care is the path toward healing.
Pain is a compass that points us toward healing.
More consumption, more problems.
Minimalism maximizes the value of everything.
If addition is the cause, subtraction is the cure.
