This book is the modern day equivalent to the 1940’s guide on how to keep house. There is no guidance just a list of do’s and don’ts, and the ideas are not new. Also he calls people with hoarding disorder lazy people while tells the reader to box up things they can’t made a decision on, date it and come back to it.

I’m assuming this person is very organized. He was completely unrealistic, not at all relatable.

To sum up the book he says “don’t over-consume, take care of your debt, don’t have more than you need, and if you can’t keep house then you have too much.” Which I don’t disagree with but for someone who said he went to school for this I thought there would be more to it.

I listened to the audiobook where the author asked for a review twice in the 3 hour reading which I’ve never experienced before. It was very off putting.

If you just want a list on how to be a minimalist then this is the book for you. If you need guidance on how to get your house under control, I’d pass on this one.

When I started reading this book, I didn't think I'd get so much helpful information. At first, I expected to review some organizing tips I learned from Marie Kondo's book. But to my surprise, this book is packed with great advice—it's like a handy guide you can use in different situations. I won't say all the tips are new, but some were new to me, and I could use them to my advantage.

The book covers various topics, including mental well-being and emotional intelligence (although it goes a bit off the main topic). There's even a special chapter about budget planning, and it discusses interesting things like impulse purchases.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants a quick guide on decluttering and practicing minimalism without going too deep into details.

I needed some motivation to tackle some clutter this week and downloaded this audiobook from Hoopla for that motivational message. While I appreciated some of the tips and definitely got my cleaning mojo inspired, the author's chapters on mental and financial decluttering were not as helpful. Some of the brain research I've been reading didn't align with his advice and the financial tips were very vague. Not sure I'd describe it as "cutting edge methods" but I got my living room decluttered while listening, so it met my needs.
