I have met the authors and they are the real deal. Their story is amazing, and an inspiration for those looking for an alternative to the rat race. No matter what your current situation you can have the simple life too.

Good self-help book.

This book is great for anyone who wants to have a 'simpler' life with less stuff. I had listened the author's previous book. I highly recommend both of his books to anyone looking to declutter their homes and minds.

Informative book.

This book is an excellent summation of much of what he has shared previously but with even more material added. It is very beneficial to have all this information in one book that can be listen and then used as a reference over time.

Everything written in this book makes sense

This was a great book! I wasn't super familiar with the whole 'minimalist' thing before listening this book, but I feel like this was a fantastic introduction to it!

Perfect for Beginners

This was one of the best books I have listened on minimalism in the home! It addresses some of the obvious, but also digs a little deeper into the "why" and "what" to do. Where to begin can be the hardest step, but this book has you inspired from the beginning to jump into the declutter process.

Fantastic and amazing

This book is an easy listen and gives great advice on how to unclutter and downsize a home. I have been struggling to do this for several years and this book is a good guide and motivator to do this.

Helpful and Extremely Clear!

I love these guys, I listen to their podcast and watched their documentary. It's not so much of a how to guide as much as it is sharing their recipe for minimalism. They inspired me to find my own recipe and grow as a person.

Helpful and Extremely Clear!

A great listening. Finding out about Minimalism is so enlightening, especially getting deeper into it and realizing it's not just about physical possessions, but about your relationships, attitude, habits, etc.

Great Information

Great book on the "why" of minimalism, with some useful tips on the "how to". I have used this book, along with listening to The Minimalist podcast, to make dramatic improvements towards living a more purposeful and intentional lifestyle.

Great Information

Enjoyed the book very much. Short and to the point. The authors encourage the use of their website minimalist.com a lot in the book. The steps you have to do seem easy enough to start not overwhelming. Exercise,financial freedom and working on your relationships are some of the steps they summarize for the listner.
