I enjoyed this book much more than I thought I would and in another life I think I could easily become a minimalist. I feel that many of the core values of minimalism are similar to some Christian values...clearing space in our homes and hearts for a more peaceful life. I plan on using some of the authors ideas in my own home and especially plan on starting to say "no" to a cluttered schedule more. I'm rating this book based on what it is: inspiration to downsize, declutter and simplify. This book has inspired me and has a little "how to" but this is NOT a step-by-step guide. That is the focus of her book "The Joy of Less." I enjoyed the chance to be inside the author's head and to know why she chose her lifestyle. Of course, what floats her boat won't always work for me and certainly not for everyone. This is a good read if you read it like a blog - short chapters of different topics based on someone's personal experiences and passions.
Full of great tips and solutions to reduce clutter and for a very good price too
