I wanted to love this book. I found their website through my search for deeper meaning behind minimalism. This book didn't provide me with any knowledge I didn't already know. If you are someone who is interested in minimalism and don't have a basic background in the ideals, then this book might be for you. Otherwise I wouldn't bother.

The book was ok, but I had already heard most of it in their podcasts. It is a good reminder to focus on what is important in life. Perhaps their new book will have no stuff to use.

Amazing! Ein must-read für jeden! Es geht nicht nur um den Minimalismus sondern um viel mehr! Es geht eben darum ein Leben mit Bedeutung zu führen.

Somehow I got lost in the ocean of books about minimalism and forgot to turn to these two authors who are the founders of minimalists.com. Great book with many insights and useful lessons for stepping into a less-cluttered life.
Love people. Use things. The opposite never works.

The book largely started out as an autobiography for these two men, and it came off as a bit pretentious with the constant praise of themselves.
Things got better after the first section of the book and I genuinely found the questions asked to be thought-provoking and I will definitely be using these to better my life.
I would say that this book’s title is a bit misleading, though. The book is about mindfulness rather than minimalism. As they say, it goes hand-in-hand, but I feel as if it’s still misleading.
If you’re looking for a thought-provoking book about getting rid of the crap in your life that you don’t need and doesn’t add value, I recommend!

I'm working on living a clutter-free life and focusing on developing relationships with positive people. This book, and the associated blog, is a guide to help me in my journey.

3.5 stars rounded up for the ideas ensconced within. The authors imply that they're aware of their privilege, but I still feel like the way they express some ideas isn't aware enough of the socio-economic and cultural limitations others might experience when approaching minimalism. I very much believe that minimalism can be practiced by anyone, but as it's written here, I could imagine a lot of folks rolling their eyes and throwing their hands up because it doesn't feel accessible on the surface.

I am interested in these kinds of books, I do enjoy the KonMari method, for example, but I found that the 'guidelines' in this book were either too generalised or just didn't apply to me. I think I would have enjoyed more about their own personal stories rather than their recommendations. The writing felt a little disjointed, and ultimately I didn't find I could identify with the reader they were targeting.
