During one chapter, he explains how his minimalist journey has improved every aspect of his life: he now has more gratitude for the few items he possesses (and most importantly, for his relationships), he no longer is influenced by consumerism because he spends his time mindfully doing constructive and uplifting things, and he has reduced his vices.
