[Following is a volunteer review of "The Pocket Guide to Minimalism" by Katy Moeggenberg.]
The Pocket Guide to Minimalism by Katy Moeggenberg is a detailed look into life as a minimalist. This book shows the essence of keeping valuable items while discarding non-valuable ones.
The word "minimalism" has often been misunderstood by most people. But this book explained it in bits, and various steps were given towards achieving minimalism. This book describes minimalism as removing unnecessary materials and distractions to create more space and cleaner conditions. In this book, the author laid out three steps towards achieving minimalism: minimizing, organizing, and maintaining. These steps were further broken down into step-by-step processes for readers to achieve the minimalist lifestyle. Grab a copy of this book and start your journey towards achieving the minimalist lifestyle.
I was once one of those people who usually misunderstood minimalism, but reading this book has re-shaped my mindset. I always thought minimalism meant getting rid of all the fun in life or living a sad and boring life, but this book has given me a new insight. It teaches the readers how to do away with all the unwanted materials and distractions, thus creating more space and a healthy environment. I love this idea of minimalism because it not only shapes one's mindset and mentality but also has health benefits. Most people seem to pile up unwanted materials, which may pile up dirt and dust or even house pathogens, thus leading to diseases. After reading this book, they will change their mindset and live a healthy lifestyle.
This book was beautifully written, but the author did not consider all angles while discussing this topic. Some items may seem unusable and take up space, but they have an emotional backstory that must have made one want to keep them. I wish the author would have emphasized more on aspects like this. Aside from this, the book was lovely. The author's communication skills are impressive, and the writing style is simple. The length was kept short and precise so as not to bore the readers, and every step towards attaining the minimalist lifestyle was detailed and listed clearly.
While this book was packed with steps on how to live a simple and healthy lifestyle through minimalism, it was also void of any forms of error. The editing was perfect, and I cannot suggest further improvements to this book. I gladly rate this book 4 out of 4 stars for all the reasons listed above. I recommend this book to people who have a misconception about minimalism, as I did. I recommend it to people struggling to live life as a minimalist. Finally, I recommend this book to teachers. They can begin to teach their students about minimalism from an early stage.
