The Minimum Viable Fire
Finding Your Floor and Tending Your Flame Through Life's StormsBy Filippo Borselli
Length3h 43m
About this audiobook
This book offers a new framework for sustainable resilience, challenging modern self-help that fails in crisis. It introduces the core concept of the Minimum Viable Fire (MVF): the art of protecting a single glowing coal when everything else burns away, rather than trying to maintain a performative bonfire.
The goal is to find your floor—the absolute minimum you need to function during a storm, without shame. Through practices like building your "woodpile" of reserves in calm times and learning the revolutionary art of the "Keeper's Rest", you move from survival to sustainability.
The keeper's law is "Wood Over Wind"—focus on what you can control, not the chaos you can't. This is a guide to becoming a keeper of your own flame, with the radical permission that your minimum is always enough.
