Product Description

Product Description

Simplify is a celebration of living more by owning less. Written by Joshua Becker, who inspires hundreds of thousands of people on his personal blog, this is a book that calls for the end of living lives seeking and accumulating more and more possessions by highlighting the enjoyment of living with less.

Three years ago, his typical, suburban family of four made the decision to minimize their possessions, declutter their home, and simplify their lives. In so doing, they discovered countless real-life benefits of living with less. And now, to help others experience the same freedom, they offer the most important lessons they’ve learned through the process. Simplify is full of personal stories, practical tips, and powerful inspiration.

It is based on a rational approach to minimalism. It will forever change the way you look at physical possessions. And most importantly, its approach will free you from the burden of clutter and provide you with the extra motivation to realign your life around your heart’s greatest passions… however you choose to define them.

Praise for Simplify:
• “A must-read.” - Leo Babauta, Zen Habits, TIME Magazine Blog of the Year
• “If you’re looking for specific advice on how to live well with less, this book is worth a look.” - Naomi Seldin, The Times Union, Albany, NY
• “It is a simple, straightforward guide to simplifying your life and brings new light to the term minimalist.” - Tanna Clark, Professional Organizer

I'm a minimalist myself but still got lots out of this book. It's quite short but tells you everything you need to know. I personally prefer books that just contain what you need to know without padding the book out with useless info or repeating it self. this is straight to the point and very motivating.

Great blogger produces great book! 12 Nov 2011
By Sarah Mollie - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been reading through becomingminimalist.com for months now and I've gone through all the archives. Joshua Becker is a talented writer who is also a real human being living in the real world. He doesn't make the reader feel guilty or shamed for their stuff, he just tells you how he escaped from the cycle of buying, cleaning, storing, fixing and moving the same types of clutter most of us struggle with. Becker won't tell you to own only what fits in a back pack, unless that's what you really WANT to do. Becker tells you how to be a minimalist while at the same time not making your family worry that you're giving everything away and contemplating running off to join a monastery.

Also, this is my very first ebook purchase and it's pretty great - reading on my Android.

I'm Finished With Blogger "Quickie" Books 10 Dec 2011
By Mike Donovan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This..."book"...is little more than a pamphlet if it were printed out. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was sucked in by a blogger's quickie attempt at a "book." These are all the rage these days with bloggers. I've since visited his blog and the "author" is quite enamored with having a "#1 Bestseller!" Well, of course, you offer a nice cover with a nice topic at a nice price and people will buy ebooks. But, this is the new thing for bloggers; get your blog popular enough and then "write a book" (meaning an ebook) and listen to the cash register ring!

Bottom line: This is an amateurish attempt at writing about a serious subject that could have deep philosophical analysis and a plan of action that would seriously allow one to simplify their life. This has a few good common sense platitudes, an anecdote here and there...this isn't a 'real' book. I wish Amazon had a separate section for blogger wanna-be authors to peddle their wares. No more blogger quickies for me. I'll pay closer attention next time.

Great insight on simplifying in a way that works for you 12 Nov 2011
By Debbie O'Byrne - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a great and easy way to get a lot of good advice and suggestions on making minimalism work for you. It doesn't tell you the one way to do it, making it easy to take what you need and de-clutter your life.

If nothing else, I would strongly suggest this book to get an idea of how to just make small steps to simplifying your life. I've been slowly removing unnecessary things I have that just get in the way---too many things in my house only makes me feel more stressed and crowded.

Great book and extremely helpful!
