One of the things I like about this book is that its message is quick and simple, but profound. I'm a mom of a toddler and if I'm going to read a book on minimalism, I want it to be straightforward and not too long - which is exactly what this book accomplishes. The book mostly emphasizes the benefits of minimalism, not so much the "how to" like Marie Kondo, although chapters 4 and 5 have very practical advice on how to start decluttering when you have children. Highly recommend!

A lovely light read on Minimalism

We are moving to Hawaii soon and needed to learn to minimize our stuff in preparation. This audiobook did an amazing job preparing us for this move, as we had so much stuff. we learned what we had to keep but, more improbably, what we could let go of. The book was super easy to follow and the guidance is top-notch. I highly recommend it to anyone needing to slim down on possessions.
