The More of Less
by Joshua Becker
After watching the Minimalism documentary on Netflix a few days ago, I haven't been able to stop myself from absorbing everything I can on minimalism. I'm totally falling in love with the idea of living with less so that I can be fully empowered to live a more full, more joyful life of intentionality. In this book, Joshua Becker expands on his quick guide Simplify and shares more stories about others who have pursued a life of less. The tips are helpful, the stories encouraging. That said, if you're looking for a quick jump into a life of Minimalism, then I'd recommend Simplify to start and More of Less to follow.
Each chapter, Becker focuses on some aspects of Minimalism - from clarifying your own reasons for committing to less, to identifying the power of marketing, to highlighting ways to experiment with the minimalist lifestyle in order to make it your own. Throughout the novel, he emphasizes that each person's practice of minimalism will look different which makes me feel better about going through this journey. For days now, I've been paring down my belongings and making trips to the local charity shops and listing a few items on eBay. I'm looking forward to seeing what my life looks like in 3 months, in 6, in 9, in 12 as I continue this journey. I'm possibly even more excited to see what this minimalism might do for my life, my enrichment and our wallets.
After all these years of trying to find a better organization strategy and a better financial plan (and a stricter, better budget) and a better way to manage my stress, it never just occurred to me to just simplify my whole life by owning less stuff and committing to buying less stuff. Finally, finally, finally... I may be coming to the understanding that I have enough.
