• Great book! Thought provoking and encouraging

  This was a pretty quick read, but chock-full of useful tips/strategies/tools for getting started on your own journey of minimalism. It was very fun to read all of the personal anecdotes and experiences from the author. There were a few parts that felt repetitive or like filler (ironic given this is a book about minimalism lol), but by and large was filled with good content. I’ve already begun to rid my space of the clutter and will continue to try an implement all of the things I’ve learned from reading this book. Highly recommend!

• Real words.

  Real words. You can feel the authors passion. I really connected as his thought process is real and felt expert. If you ever read a book of fluff this is not it, instead it’s very thoughtfully crafted and real helpful exploration. Thank you for writing a book that can be used as a reference point that is the journey of minimalism.

• Lack of Quality Undermines the Message

  Funny story. I’ve been slowly transitioning to a minimalist lifestyle. It was this book, purchased in a Barnes & Noble bookstore that initially piqued my interest in minimalism. I realized that I had hundreds of books in my closet that I hadn’t picked up in years. I decided to rid myself of them having moved five times in one year for work and also due to a breakup with my then fiancé. I had been dragging these books around with me for years. I decided to part ways with them in favor of their digital counterparts. E-books and audiobooks are the way to go for me now. Unfortunately, this iBook doesn’t live up to the physical version of it. There are no pictures or illustrations of any kind here, which is disappointing in the sense that it can’t create proper examples or offer aspirations or motivation to achieve a way of life that places a person in the rooms pictured in the physical book. This, I feel, sets a poor example by undermining the message itself. The quality of the digital version of the book can’t live up to the quality of the physical version. The physical “thing” is actually better in this case, which is ironic and needed to be pointed out. Still a fantastic book that offers an introduction to minimalism. Just poorly executed in digital format. This may be a rant with a parent subject, however. Digital goods are, in most cases, inferior knockoffs of their physical versions. Another great example is streamed music. The physical vinyl would be uncompressed audio, whereas the digital version is compressed and slightly muffled by comparison. If you can tolerate this injustice, sure. By all means. I tolerate it. But that doesn’t necessarily make it right or offer incentive for a person to transition to such a lifestyle. And this is not to disparage the author, publisher or the ideas expressed within the pages of the book. This is simply an observation that should be recognized by the general public and taken into consideration when pursing a minimalistic lifestyle.
