In Search of Frugal Joy

Psychology Today | 15.01.2026 03:37
Recently, my librarian friend Jenny offered an intriguing book recommendation—The Art of Frugal Hedonism. I found it at a local bookstore and now have a copy in hand. After digesting a few of its ideas, I decided to see what kind of joy I could create from the concept of frugal hedonism. Before getting started, though, I rechristened the concept frugal joy. I’m too self-conscious to consider myself a hedonist. Joy, I can handle.
