There is a strong undercurrent in American thought that praises freedom through self-limitation. It includes Thoreau, Emerson, but also modernist poets like Williams and Stevens, onto Merton. Perhaps the excess of options and of material comfort we are experiencing, together with the awareness that many others on the planet are not enjoing the same options, is a starting point for a voluntary choice to simplify one's life.
