Publisher's Summary:
Minimalism is not just a series of actions but also a total mind-set shift. It recognises that modern-day abundance has not increased our level of happiness - in fact we are less happy than generations before despite having more - and it argues that embracing less will allow us to live more fully. This handbook gives us the tools to achieve this complete life-changing mental shift, teaching us how to search for items and thoughts that add value to our lives and how to get rid of nonessential physical and mental clutter. The holistic audiobook marries minimalist philosophy with practical tips, activities and action points, such as crafting a minimalist budget, reducing possessions, decluttering space and clearing the mind of negative emotions.

I was just going though a time when I was not happy. But it gets very challening to pare down ones belongings. But if you are living life you are going to accomulate a lot of clutter. Sometimes it plan gets in the way. It keeps you from living the life ylu want.
It gets very painful to throw away things. But sometimes you have to do it. It can lead to your happiness.
Great book
Great book! Maybe I found this book at just the right time, but it really spoke to me. Chapter 1 is called âThe Heart of Minimalismâ, and it really is the heart of the book. The author discusses why living with fewer *things* can be rewarding and freeing and can leave a person with more time for spending on things he or she likes doing. I appreciated that each reader was encouraged to find her own right amount of stuff, right way to live minimally.
Chapter 3, âThe Art of Declutteringâ, is very useful. It has good suggestions for the way to go about decluttering and getting rid of things that donât add any value or spark joy in oneâs life. I bookmarked several pages in this chapter alone.
But getting rid of things as opposed to feelings and reactions that hold one back is easy. The remainder of the book mostly discusses ways to reform oneâs thinking and way of spending time, which is the more difficult endeavor and the one more likely to have push back from friends and family. I found these chapters inspiring.
A little too close to plagiarism...
At what point is a book plagiarism? This doesn't copy Minimalism: Live a Meaningful Life by Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus word for word.... but it definitely refers to the same statistics / news stories and provides the exact same methods for minimizing belongings (like leaving stuff in a box for 30 days to see if you miss it) that these authors teach. I feel like this author is just putting other works in their own words to ride the rising minimalism trend. It does however, include The Minimalists website as an additional resource for readers.
The book is enjoyable to read... it just doesn't seem to have much original content.
Make Space
Make Space by Regina Wong is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early August.
Wong emphasizes quality over quantity (deciding what means the most to you than getting rid of the most amount of stuff) when talking about minimalism (experiencing less mental, physical, and emotional hindrance) and decluttering.
