"How to live a simple life"

I found BBC2 s friday night programme "How to live a simple life very moving.
How to find a simpler. more meaningful and fulfilling life?
Peter Owen Jones set off on a two week journey, as St Francis of Assisi (who lived a life of complete poverty) would have done...with only the clothes he was wearing, no money and asking people for help, food and accommodation along the way.
Every time he asked for food...and someone kindly gave him some, he became very emotional and humbled.
He noticed how people were very wary of him as a stranger... especially when he knocked on doors asking for a room for the night.
But those people who helped him ..found out how great it feels to help someone in need. He was giving people an opportunity to be generous.
