Just OK. Nothing really new in this book, but not a bad reinforcement of the ideas. It is very strange that the there are so many resources to help one become minimal. It is a stark contrast of the philosophy to buy or invest in something else, to help follow a plan of reduction. Rather than minimal, which is the current buzzword, I prefer to think of living simply.

I really enjoyed this book. While I didn't read it while I went from room to room decluttering I felt like it was a really encouraging and motivating book to read. I listened to it twice in a row and will probably go through it a third time once we are moved into our new house. For now it has made me really excited about some decluttering plans.

If this was the first book that I had read on minimalism, I probably would have given it 5 stars. But after reading SO many books on this topic, I think I already knew most of what Joshua was talking about in this book. But still it’s a good book and I would recommend it to anyone who is planning to move to a minimalistic lifestyle. He follows a room by room approach to help you declutter. He addresses electronic/digital clutter which I haven’t seen any other book address. This book will be very helpful to people with families and kids. This is a good motivational book too for those who are on the fence about minimalism.
I liked the checklists that he has given for each room, along with the kitchen checklist.
