Story
Minimalism is about getting closer to what gives you pleasure. We are all aware that quality of life has nothing to do with consumer products, and that "substance" is not a measure of success. A minimalist life leads to freedom — freedom from debt, unrest, and the rat-race. Any excessive things, whether unused, unnecessarily purchased, or unfulfilling in nature that you remove will feel like a weight lifted from your shoulders.

Everywhere around you are distractions: That text you respond to quickly, just to get it out of the way. The newest money-making side hustle to cross your mind. The evening spent organizing your overflowing kitchen cupboards. Disruptions are the enemies of a life well lived—both the new distractions of our generation and timeless ones that have existed for centuries. They all add up to make you feel restless, tired, and unfulfilled. They’re keeping you from living with joy, from accomplishing the good that only you can do.

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.

A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

the book I wanted for
This is the decluttering book I've been waiting for. I've bought, listened, and read many others. All those others were trying to sell their systems. All those others never got into the clutter mindset, well maybe one other which was a fun read. But Gary does in this book. I heard him speak on Coast to Coast and went to Amazon to find it. It is worth the read many times.

if you are truly, deeply interested in making change in your life, read this book. There may be some uncomfortable moments because the author 10 points there is a vulnerability. Those are the exact points where real change can occur. this author is a kindred spirit as I have been marching to the beat of this drum for much of my recent life

Excellent book
I really found this book very useful and entertaining with one small, subjective exception…the overuse of a pet word. Too often today, writers, bloggers, and podcasters fall in love with modern, corporate-esque words. In this case it was BANDWIDTH. Ugh! What a misused, overused, now irritating word!
Now as for the usefulness. The writers topic was spot on and went into greater detail than most writers on this topic. He applies 5 simple principles in all areas of life. De-cluttering, simplifying, and minimalizing applies to areas of life, physical, mental, and even spiritual. All of these areas need to be de-cluttered and these principles can help guide and assist you on doing so.
I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to reclaim your life.

Superbly presented. While I myself have been following this path led my my own self, it is good to see confirmation that others are awakening to the need to remove "attachment to things" to declutter their lives also. The old phrase, "when the student is ready the teacher will come" rings true. If you are not ready then keep chasing samsara but always remember the message of the book and when the student (yourself) is ready, return to it's self-liberating message.

This is a no nonsense author that touches on how to improve/simplify almost every aspect of life in general, day to day schedules, money, politics, shopping habits, gaming habits etc.. Will be picking up his other books immediately.

Preachy Writer
Lots of common sense information. Writer keeps blaming the system, for what we should take responsibility for. Clearly, if you're thinking about reading this book, you've already reached the conclusion that your life is not what you want it to be or are ready for a change. Such is life. Feel kinda dumb about having to be told what I already knew.....
