Simplify Your Life: Waste Less, Value More, Go Minimalist

First off I am soo glad I only paid $1.99 for the kindle version of this book. Unfortunately because it is a kindle book I am now stuck with this upsetting and soo boring book.I got this book awhile ago thinking that it would be different from the other books on clutter that I have red before, but boy was I wrong.It pretty much told me what I already know and it included alot of what is going on in the world that is negative. So if you want to know more about the importance of simplifying your life and haven't alread red tons of books on it this is the book to check out. Also if you don't mind reading about upsetting world events this is also a book for you.

The author takes a holistic approach to decluttering; not just one’s home, but different aspects of one’s life that could stand to use greater focus, clarity, and paring down. The ideas proposed and observations made were at times supported by research, thus showing that the author put a lot or effort and detail in the presentation of her work, and that it was more practical than subjective. As a result valuable insights are imparted to the reader, that can be readily adopted in improving daily quality of life. Overall, it was a decent read, but could have been a little bit shorter, while at the same time, packing just as much punch.

Wonderful book for a special gift! Thank you!

A worthwhile life approach to minimalistic living. I've read a lot of books on minimalism and I've watched a lot of videos on it. Here the author goes very in-depth into simplifying your life. They take a look at your life as a whole instead of just one area. It's great that you can get rid of a ton of furniture and other items, but that's only the beginning. You have to look beyond just your material possessions to include everything that is non-material. Social media is not material, but it takes up a lot of your time and it brings a lot into your life. We spend a lot of time looking at social media and not realizing it's mostly marketing. It's all about how much can they learn about you and in sell to you. The author goes into great depths about the truth of social media and it's impact upon our lives. If you're looking to simplify your life this is a key area you can't pass on looking at. Minimalism is about shedding material possessions as well as emotional and mental weights we carry. These weights stick around long enough we call them possessions or see them as possessions. Listen to what the author has to say in this book and then take a look at your life as a whole not just one area. Listening to this book has me looking at relationships, social media, possessions, my job and society as a whole. We can do our part to downsize and live a present life without possessions. However, we have to look at society as a whole because the pressure will begin to revert back to where we were before downsizing. I've seen this in my own life and I'm seeing it in other people's lives where they don't have many possessions just to be pressured into getting more possessions. Take the advice to the author and put up a clear boundary! Listen to the information given in this book if they're apply it in your life. It will change the way you see things! Plus it will allow new things to come into your life which are even better! downsizing equals clutter clearing equals allowing new things to come in. It's a great equation to follow!
