About this listen
Yes, minimalism sucks when you follow the zealots on YouTube.
Let's start your minimalism to de-clutter your life and be happier; dogma-free and with the pure essentials only. Did you know that you can apply minimalism to books too? It is harder for the author to write those, but much easier for you, the listener, to learn and use the essentials directly without wading through content and getting lost - getting lost means you will not take action. And taking action is THE crucial step you need to do.
Now, and not tomorrow.
Tomorrow is NO Action land.
Change your life now and stop wasting time.I learned it the hard way and I am thankful that I took action. My mom was a hoarder, and even though I was not one, I had a hard time saying goodbye to things. Luckily, that changed one day, and I began my minimalism journey without knowing it at that point. It wasn't a fad yet and YouTube wasn't born. However, it made my life better. And it works fine for our family of three too. However, I am not sure if I had even considered it when my first encounter were those YouTubers you see nowadays. Crazy zealots who go nuts. It is a nightmare and turns away too many people from an excellent idea. People who can benefit from minimalism and make their life better and living on our planet too.
Somebody like you.
Don't go away; minimalism can help you.
Get this audiobook now and learn how.

Story
All too often hard working people with good jobs are struggling to get by. These are the same people who are forced to take stressful promotions at work and spend a couple hours commuting each day. They come home to the house they think they own, but they are really just a slave to the mortgage company. These “good citizens” are victims of an engineered system to keep them investing in 401Ks, mutual funds, and stocks. This financial system is setup where the insiders are stealing the majority of your returns (and you take all the risk).

Story
Most of us know we own too much stuff. We feel the weight and burden of our clutter, and we tire of cleaning and managing and organizing. While excess consumption leads to bigger houses, faster cars, fancier technology, and cluttered homes, it never brings happiness. Rather, it results in a desire for more. It redirects our greatest passions to things that can never fulfill, and it distracts us from the very lives we wish we were living. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Practical and sane
No-nonsense advice about lessening your possessions without unnecessary stress. I really liked the hints about how to train your children to be tidy and let go of things they no longer really want. I found these hints might work when encouraging aging parents to declutter as well. Since it's short, the book doesn't get bogged down and is easy to focus on.
