The Minimalist Home

I would say this is more a book for those who need inspiration rather than tips. It felt like there were a lot of extraneous stories. It motivated me to look at what things I was really using, but I didn't find much that was new in this one.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me a copy of this in exchange for my honest review.

I have been following Joshua Becker and http://www.becomingminimalist.com/ for years, and I am a fan. This book did not disappoint. Joshua Becker has a way of putting things in his writing that makes something like minimalism less daunting. He goes room by room and illustrates different ways to simplify your home. This is useful and practical without being preachy and unapproachable. Also, I love the philosophy of Joshua that, “the goal of minimalism is not just to own less stuff. The goal is to unburden our lives so we can accomplish more.” It is so much more than how many socks you own. Great book. Read it if you want to dive into this type of philosophy.

Good inspiration to get going on the minimalism journey.
However, it is a lot of repetition in it, but it is better than the author's previous book, More with Less, since this book contains both step-by-step “guides”, as well as the more philosophical ideas about minimalism.

I would rate it 3.5 stars if I could have.
