review 1: "The best things in life aren't things." If you’ve heard Joshua Becker’s story or have read his blog, you’ll be familiar with minimalism: the philosophy that people need a lot less than they have. His mantra is, We were never meant to live life accumulating stuff. We were meant to live life simply enjoying the experiences of life, the people of life, and the journey of life – not the things of life.Simplify is not your average book about de-cluttering (although that plays a part). It’s about changing your attitude toward your possessions. It’s about purposeful living that isn’t influenced by TV commercials, peer pressure or “keeping up with the Joneses.” Minimalism is the intentional promotion of things we most value and the removal of anything that ... moredistracts us from it.
review 2: Ironically, this book could be simplified. This was a quick, easy read to help get started on a minimalist change. I actually began the minimalist readings with Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus' books, (on audio) which I highly recommend. These kinds of books are a bit of grandmotherly advice; "you have too much crap and your values are kind of tweaked" and also a bit of a pastiche of common sense or "how this help me" but no less valuable because of it. I'd say give up some expectations of finding secret solutions and magic solve-alls and just get started cleaning up your life. less
