The third issue presents an objective take on the theme of bare and simple living. The articles in this volume get to grips with a bare state of mind, body and soul, taking a more metaphysical approach towards leading an unpretentious and meaningful life. It features interviews with American billionaire investor Jim Rogers and philanthropist Adam Braun whose mission to provide education opportunities to underprivileged children around the world is noteworthy. An analytical study on the similarities and differences between the design sensibilities of Scandinavian and Japanese designers reveals the cultural paradigm of two vastly different regions. An essay on the legendary writer Maya Angelou, barefoot luxury travel, a diamond's gritty journey from remote mines to glitzy boutiques, and the elevation of denim from being a basic item to high-fashion's hottest trend provide an interesting take on the contrast between luxury and simplicity. Other features pertaining to the theme include the debatable Paleo lifestyle, celebration of body beautiful in Brazil, and the revival of pottery in China's Jingdezhen town.
