Unabridged Audiobook
This book was neither. It was a run down of all the awesome things they now experience in their lives as minimalists. Halfway through I started to feel like they were rubbing my nose in it.
beautifully-written and engaging volume offers more than just hope of positive change; it’s a practical guide you will be itching to implement immediately!
I basically highlighted the whole book. For me, this will not be a one time read. This is definitely one to revisit every so often to see how your outlook on life has changed and what you can work on. The first time reading it was a real wake up call. It slapped me in the face with accountability and realization. "Have I really been worrying about this my whole life? It isn't even important".
I chose minimalism because I was interested in the lifestyle prior to reading. As soon as I started the book, I knew that I wouldn't be able to put it down. I spent hours just reading and highlighting. I highlighted parts that were meaningful to me and made me reflect on my own life...
It was a life changer for me. I had to order a copy to keep for myself. If you want to be truly happy and live a more meaningful life...read this book!
I think to get the most out of this book, the reader would already want to make some quite big changes in their lives. Although there is some justification for why they both did it, this part feels more autobiographical than an attempt to persuade directly. However, if a reader knows they want or must make some changes to avoid feeling crushed by the consumerist more, more, more culture, then I think this book might be really helpful
I know how fantastic it is to be a minimalist, or at least I think I do, what I need is a book to help me figure out how to get there and keep me motivated after I start.
I really do like their other minimalism centered media.... just not this book. The book feels like someone explaining how great it is to do laps in the deep end while you're working up the nerve to dip your toe in.
Minimalism is the thing that gets us past the things that clutter our lives so we can make room for life's most important things - which actually aren't things at all. i love to listen this book again.
