“Joshua Becker is the best coach I know of when it comes to teaching the skill of decluttering. Not only will his calm, clear voice guide you through the challenging task of getting rid of belongings, but he will also make you feel fabulous for doing so. He does not shy away from tough topics such as downsizing homes, renting versus buying, and adjusting one’s lifestyle to fit a space. His enthusiasm is addictive; it’s impossible to read this book without tackling your own home - and then you won’t want to stop, because as your rooms open up, so will your entire world.” (Katherine Martinko, senior writer and editor of TreeHugger.com)

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.

Worth your time!

I am not a minimalist (yet), but this provides such an encouraging, inspiring look at the practice. Even if you do not fully declutter your house and downsize, even hearing him talk about our consumerism is so powerful and eye-opening. I have no doubt this book will provide value to anyone who reads/listens to it. 100% recommend it.

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.

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.

Wonderful Book

As always, Joshua did a wonderful job. My only feedback is that you’ll probably want to put him at 1.25x speed. Joshua reads fairly slowly, and it can be distracting at times.

Amazing and Life changing!

I liked this book because I was encouraged and inspired that I could declutter my home after a few decades of accumulation with a family of 5, a home business, and homeschooling. It also inspired me that I can refocus my life purposes in this new season of life I am in.

Excellent book and narration

I could tell the author's passion for the topic through the narration. Highly recommended! this is a book I will use as a reference guide. It was wonderful to read how freeing minimalism can be.

Very informative and forces you to think!

Great Self Help book. I would definitely recommend it! It brought the reality of our overstuffed life to the forefront!
