  • Well worth the read
This book is a bit different then most other minimalist books. The author doesn’t just tell you how to get rid of “stuff” but walks you through the effort needed to declutter your heart and mind; the more subtle obstacles we face in the minimalist process. Well worth the read!

  • a refreshing take on minimalism
I’m not really a book reader but this was so well written and an easy read with encouraging content. Erica’s take on minimalism is so refreshing, her book has little to do with stuff. She talks about family life, time management, finances and relationships. She really helps you dig deep to figure out what’s important to you. This was definitely my kind of book! If anything else, just purchase the book to get a glimpse in her closet- It’s inspiring! ... show more

  • It’s about so much more than cleaning your closet
Until now, when I heard the word “minimalist” I pictured someone with a trimmed-down wardrobe, a clean garage, and very modest spending habits. Although that may be part of the picture, this book presents a wide panorama of habits and practices that can make life simpler, easier to navigate, and — oh, yes — joyful. I found myself taking lots of notes on commitments I will make to myself and others. I’m already very organized, but Erica Layne has taught me several new tricks. ... show more

  • Basic
I follow this author on Instagram and thought I would read her book. Unfortunately, the information is not interesting, uplifting or encouraging. This book is very basic and could have been in a blog post. My weekend emails from another Minimalist Author packs so much valuable and encouraging information in one email! I expected more from this book. Anyone looking to adopt or continually improve their Minimalist Journey should stay away from this book. There are plenty of YouTube videos, podcasts and more in-depth Minimalism and Declutter books. ... show more

  • Great Minimalist Perspective
What I really appreciated from the very start of the book is the approach to the topic. I was fully expecting the author to tell me to get rid of all my belongings! Instead, she offers great insights, useful tools, and a great attitude (no 'holier-than-thou' or 'what's-wrong-with-you-if-you-can't-do-this' vibes at all). Very inspirational in that this really seems do-able, starting off small, and first changing the mindset. Provides great tools to get you started on this path, and mentions what stumbling blocks people can face. I started this book with great skepticism ('no way am I throwing out my Stuff'), to really rethinking goals in life and how too much crap can really be a drain on your life. This is a nice, easy read that doesn't get your defenses up or stress out the inner hoarder too much. ... show more

  • A how to book on the minimalist lifestyle!
I was totally surprised when I learned about Marie Kondo. Not because I thought that Minimalism was such a novel movement, but because I was surprised that people seemed to think her approach was so noteworthy, novel and unique. Coming from Europe, minimalism has not only been a lifestyle, but also a design movement off and on for quite some time and so I have always been amazed by how much stuff people accumulate in the US. I am glad to see that others in the US are picking up on the minimalist lifestyle. Erica Layne's Minimalist approach can be divided into three components: Minimalist philosophy Minimalist lifestyle Real solution to help the reader in achieving a balanced lifestyle that makes for a more conscious life. I really enjoyed this book and believe that it provides sound advice for people that want to declutter their life to enjoy it more and more free time. I received a free book from the publisher. ... show more

  • Love this full picture view of minimalism!
I would say that I dabble in 'minimalism.' Parts of the whole movement seem too intense for me, but this book was incredible at looking at parts of minimalism that have to go with ALL the aspects of your life, not just your stuff. Its a great short read with tons of take aways and exercises to start right now! I am feeling motivated to re-evaluate my life in lots of different aspects that I hadn't considered before! Love this book! It is going to be one of my go-to's for sure! ... show more

  • Wholeheartedly Recommend
This book is a great read! I've read quite a few books on minimalism and this one is already one of my favorites! ❤️ Author Erica Layne from The Purpose Movement really gets to the heart of the matter in this book, focusing on things such as the heart of minimalism, your uppermost core values and how they can fuel your desire toward owning less, how to use your values in your daily life, goal setting, and these are just some of the practical real-life solutions this book offers. It is well laid-out and organized, and just full of such wisdom and practical ideas. I wholeheartedly recommend this book! ... show more
