All You Need Is Less: Declutter Your Home Without Sacrificing Comfort And Coziness - The Making of a Minimalist Life
Do you wish for a cleaner and cozier home? Feel overwhelmed by your possessions?
If so, it's time to simplify your life!
We live in a culture where more is worshipped and encouraged : more money, more stuff, more likes, be more skinny, wear better clothes, achieve more in your career… The list could go on. In the meantime, we get disconnected from our true selves and our deepest desires. We can’t change the world but at least we can change the place we spend the most time in – our home. All You Need Is Less is a heartfelt guide to downsize your house and keep it practical and cozy.
After returning home from a six-year world journey, Michelle Moore decided to downsize, simplify, and make her house more homely. In the process she realized the less she had, the more she could value the things that truly matter in friendship, family, self-care, and coziness.
All You Need Is Less is based on a practical approach to minimalism but Miss Moore takes the idea further. It is not enough to simply declutter. It won’t make you feel more like at home by itself. In All You Need Is Less the downsizing process parallel runs with ideas on how to make your living space homely.

•Special tips to downsize and organize those parts of your home you wouldn’t even think of.
• A step-by-step walkthrough on how to keep the order in your home once it’s clean.
•20+ organizing tips to find a good spot for everything.
Improve your focus, release stress, and enhance your creativity in an organized environment.
Get ready to sweep away the unnecessary, organize your belongings, and create a safe haven for yourself free from judgment, overwhelming expectations, and clutter.

Nette kurz Einführung in Minimalismus. Für mich nicht mehr wirklich Neues.

Not as bad as I thought it would be
So, I've been reading a lot about clutter and this book is short and has some actions i can actually follow, which I appreciate. It provides some nice tips to get started. In the past such books have been overwhelming. That's not True with this one.
One bonus is the linking of videos to the text. Was genius and a welcome respite from the words which describe hero so things , but are inadequate for those of us who learn visually.
It was a great read and I can't wait to started.

Counter-intuitive advice in a society that always pushes more!
Practical advice and suggestions, nice links to how to videos on You Tube.com , nice list of additional reading and resources at the end of the book, and includes bits from Swedish Death Cleaning books and Danish Hygge.

There’s nothing groundbreaking in this book. If you’ve read anything on minimalist lifestyles, you likely won’t find anything new here.

basic but useful information
A little bit too basic for the person who has already read or listened to a lot about decluttering. Otherwise, good clear language. Y
