Because living simply doesn't need to be complicated, this got me. A book that teaches organization, a must read.

Sounds like it keeps right to the point which is great when a book is just telling you how to do something. Wonder if it goes into digital items such as Kindle books, as those of course take no space. Also wonder how they define a need and if hobbies are included

It is helpful to have a written guide to minimalist lifestyle. I agree it reduces both clutter and stress, both mental and physical. This is a book I would enjoy reading and applying. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Am not a fan of nonfictional books. But, I like that the information was written in just 64 pages, it will make it easy to read to gain useful knowledge. Thanks for an honest review

Thank you so much for writing this review. As someone who tends to enjoy having clutter around me, I believe it would be really cool to read a book that contrasts my daily habits and beliefs. I also like how you mentioned the book was really short; it makes the novel itself feel more metaphorical in a way, like a minimalistic writing style about a minimalistic writing style

I find it hard to get rid of old things, sometimes it's due to the memories it brings back and this makes my room seem like a goofy mess. I love the idea of being a minimalist but everytime I try it, I end up going back to my old ways. From the review of this book I think reading it will make me become the minimalist I've always wanted to be

I'm personally a minimalist. I can easily get overwhelmed when there's just so much to be done. I'd love to read the full book to learn a thing or two from the author's perspective. I believe it will help me become better.

This is the kind of book I definitely need in my life. As years go by, I realize more and more the importance of minimalism for an ordered life and clarity of mind. Thanks for your review!

To be honestly I liked several things about this booki.....it's important that self-help books are kept short. This ensures that we as the readers don't get bored before finishing the book. The author of this book kept this in mind and, therefore, kept this book short..nice review at all

I'm not an avid reader of non-fiction novels, so I don't think that this particular book will be one I'll pick up, but since I live such a cluttered life it might be one I should consider looking into one day. LOL!

I would absolutely appreciate this book, first and foremost because it is so short and simple, and secondly, because in today's materialistic culture, it is all too easy to become overwhelmed with too many useless goods. Thank you for the review!

Ah. A book after my own heart. I would ordinarily say anyone who would write this must be super-bored, but I’ve tried this type of minimalism. My biggest challenge is something you’ve identified in the review: the maintaining part.
