This book sounds very well organized. I especially like that the first chapter explains what minimalism is and what it isn't. Thanks for the great review!

Alright, someone just touched a sensitive subject. I express gratitude to this self- help book. I advice many women to buy them. Ok, men too. Let us face it, the book touches on cluster and congestion of property, but in a polite manner. A very practical, and necessary, guide because this is a common practice, more like hoarding. From the review, the book is easy to read and suggestions are practical. Few pages, precise and concise. Thank you, I needed that wake up call.

As a sloppy person I think I need to read this book. I like that the book is on point and does not contain unnecessary details. Thank you for the review.

Self-help books must be on point with their messages. It seems like an interesting book, especially as I don't know a lot about minimalism. I am not a hoarder by any means nor I am minimalist but I see so many advantages in having fewer things. Since Marie Kondo made it popular so many people are trying it. Great job with the review.

This is a nice review of a book that would be helpful to me. To some it comes naturally but others have to work at it. I like how it is short enough to get through in a day and seems that these thoughts and facts are organized to create a good understanding of how to get this done . Congratulations on the BOTD

For me this book is really useful and it's a handbook to organizing our life. Begin with to think how divide the useful goods and unuseful, and it is very difficult for someone like me that always thinks that everything has a memory. So it is enlightening book. This book is very systematical and coherent also well-written. The review is very good and detail too. Great!

I've always been curious about the concept of minimalism. Not just in terms of the clutter I've created in my home, but also in terms of a lifestyle. The review looks really promising. I would love to read the book and learn more about this.
Thank you for your review!

Wow! I really need to read this book! Since my sun is in Virgo, I like to have my things organized, but, unfortunately, I tend to have too many things... I don't have problems with getting rid of material things, but I guess I gotta learn how to select what is not essential.
After reading this, I can see that the book is also minimalist, just as this review - which is an amazing thing that I have to learn asap.

This is a short non-fictional self-help book that introduces readers to minimalism and teaches them how they can start being minimalists and how, once they've started, they can maintain this lifestyle. A well written book and book review. Congratulations on the BOTD!

I would definitely enjoy this book, firstly, because it is so short and concise and secondly, because in today’s materialistic society, it’s easy to become swamped with too much superfluous stuff. A timely and very interesting little book for us today.
