USA TODAY BESTSELLER • Methodically turn your home into a place of peace, contentment, and purposeful living—from the New York Times bestselling author of Uncluttered Faith.

One of today's most influential minimalist advocates takes us on a decluttering tour of our own houses and apartments, showing us how to decide what to get rid of and what to keep. He both offers practical guidelines for simplifying our lifestyle at home and addresses underlying issues that contribute to over-accumulation in the first place. The purpose is not just to create a more inviting living space. It's also to turn our life's HQ—our home—into a launching pad for a more fulfilling and productive life in the world.

Really interesting

I found this to be really interesting and thought provoking. It certainly gave me some incentive to move forward with my own desire to minimize. My only real complaints are that the reader sounded like a used car salesman trying to sell me a potentially dodgy Buick a few times, and the whole hashtag thing got annoying quite quickly. I find this annoying in print, as well

Excellent Book

The author gives helpful tips in how our lives can be improved by placing less emphasis on material possessions. He has helped me to rethink my attitude toward my home and provided practical tips on becoming more free.

Inspirational and Motivating

It has great tips on getting your home organized from top to bottom. I listen to it repeatedly to catch things I missed the first time through.

Easy steps to take

I like the fact that the author read the book also I like that it was simple things that I could understand I especially like the fact that he believes in God.

A balanced practical approach

This book is a great practical approach to minimalism undergirded with a great philosophy of life together. I’ve come across several books one minimalism that seemed to focus heavily on the reason for being a minimalist. I understand that, but I was really enthralled by a room by room approach to the practical steps needed to approach minimalism. At the same time, this book was flexible enough to allow the reader to apply it in their own specific situation, and within their own boundaries. I highly recommend this read for those who are considering downsizing the stuff we acquire in our lives.
