Just What I Needed in my Life

I couldn't stop listening. I will listen again and again because it's meant to be digested in smaller increments. (I don't agree with the diet section but he does say he's not a professional.)

Eye opening. Maybe my favorite for this year!

Hope that helps me on my way to a more meaningful life. Thanks for the authors I will definetly read this again, and I already made huge differences.

Throughly Enjoyed!

Can't wait to listen to it again and share with others. Thank you to the Minamalists!

great book

ótimo livro. linguagem simples e acessível. conteúdo muito bom e tópicos interessantes. recomendo a leitura.

Great content...but the narrator needs help

I really wish this book was read by JFM or Ryan Nicodemus themselves...or by someone who enunciated their words clearly and slowly.
I even attempted to play it on .75 so he would slow down but then he sounded drunk and drawling. It was only then that I realized that it’s because the narrator basically doesn’t speak each word clearly and distinctly and just blurs words together. I don’t like myself being critical however I would like the narrator to listen to how the following readers: 1) JL Collins (author of Simple path to wealth), 2) Joshua Becker (from Becoming Minimalist) or 3) the narrator of “lightly” by Francine Jay
read their works and learn and improve. He does have a nice voice, if only he slowed down and spoke clearly.
The content itself was 5 STAR....an excellent curated set of work & a great alternative to perusing a blog to sift for gems of wisdom. Thank you for reading!

Liberating

It's not often that I clear my schedule and listen to an entire book in a single day, but this is so inspiring, captivating, motivating, and liberating that I just flat couldn't turn it off. It definitely helps that I identify with the authors, being a 6 figure earner that sold my home to live a much more simplified life on a farm not long ago. The book verbalizes my innermost thoughts, it's basically like listening to someone read your diary aloud to you. I loved it, and this will no doubt be a repeat listen.

Inspiring

It’s an absolute eye opener. A must read. This book inspired me to rethink my own values and beliefs. I will make a change.

Life-changing

This book is comparable to being placed in front of a mirror and slapped repeatedly until awake. Please beware, please read.

Recommended book! Let inspire your self.....

free your mind from the everyday stress and be inspired by a new way of thinking. This book has helped me understanding that we don't have to fill our gaps with stuff just because we miss something...we should be surrounded by things and people that add value to our life and our self...
