5.0 out of 5 stars A great read for starting a minimalist lifestyle!
This a great book if you’re looking into or stepping into this new minimal lifestyle. It’s a great start to into getting ready to start living life with more meaning. It isn’t meant to depict specially what to do or how to do it. It’s meant to briefly describe how they themselves got started and how you can too. It is an easy read and I think slightly insightful. This is a great book for taking notes and reflecting on how you might want to start your new journey.
4.0 out of 5 stars SUPER INSPIRING!
I recently got assigned to read a book about a subculture over the summer, minimalism being one of one of the options to later build an ethnographic study from what we learned. Perhaps one of my best reading choices yet. Minimalism is a tool in which can help you simply relieve yourself from any restraints, find that sort of freedom. Hence the book title, in which covers all components for living a minimalistic life. Authors, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, elaborate piece by piece on how their lives are shaped today due to the discovery of minimalism, and why they are finally living more meaningfully.Although the book at first may seem that you can finish it all in one day, I believe that it is formatted in a way to really provide the reader with a different mission at the end of each chapter. Missions in which you could most likely not finish all in one day. At first that was my ideal, finishing the book as soon as possible to get it over with. However, if you're going to have the same mindset as I for reading this book, I advise you to look elsewhere. Each chapter focused on a certain topic that happen to be different elements in which make up your life. Health, relationships, passions, growth, and contribution.Other than the remarkable concept of this book, the quality of writing was just as satisfying. Considering I'm only a high school student and prefer more casual of compositions rather than super advanced literature in novels, Minimalism was just that perfect match. It felt as if you were simply having a conversation with the author! It contained strong figurative language such as metaphors, repetition, parallelism, oxymorons, and informal speech just to name a few. Also, instead of being formatted as were used to seeing any chapter book, story format, each paragraph was labeled a with a creative title at the top in bold. This allowed the reader to thoroughly develop a consensus on what they're about to read, and unleash a rush of eagerness to continue reading.As you can see, it's appears to be that I am living for this book in its entirety, yet it didn't receive my full 5-star rating...and here's why. I was very pleased with the idea of the book, learning about a new subculture I never thought could be considered one in the first place. However, in some parts it seemed as if I was reading a diet magazine from your local grocery store. I did indeed enjoy reading about the crazy diets and plans they took upon themselves, but it had all seemed too familiar to be reading about. I would've preferred to see their perspective as to what being a subculture really meant to them. If it's just another ordinary word in their dialogue, or something with broad significance.Overall, Minimalism is an excellent novel full of self-empowerment, motivation, inspiration, and most importantly, meaning. It has a purpose in which any person could utilize in their daily life. It beautifully covered all of what was expected and more. Nothing too challenging or vague, you will leave replenished.
5.0 out of 5 stars Solid, heartwarming insights about decluttering, and finding what really matters in your life
If you need to declutter, these are the experts. Their personal stories are just different enough that some of their experiences will probably resonate with you, in a big way. And that's what I keep going back to... their personal moments of self-discovery, and observations about habits so many of us have acquired through generations of holding onto "keepsakes." This isn't a harsh, get-rid-of-everything philosophy, but these minimalists share insights that can help you face your vulnerabilities when it comes to clutter and... well... just owning too much stuff.
5.0 out of 5 stars No time like now...
I've been following Joshua and Ryan for several months, first on their blog, then on Google+. I have to say... this book is very well written - thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm also going to go back through and do the questions and exercises more in-depth.This book tells it like it is, and it's not complicated stuff. I think the strength is that both these guys have gone through very difficult times, and we hear about this through their own words and actions. Refreshing. They aren't making new discoveries, they are simply pointing readers to the things that are important - things that many of us forget in the continual pursuit of the almighty goals we have for ourselves... whether money, status, stability, etc.Definitely worth the time and energy for several read throughs if you are contemplating changing your life in small or not-so-small ways. It provides a solid foundation on which to build your own definition of a meaningful life.
3.0 out of 5 stars Good quick read/Not as much concrete advice as I had hoped
I found myself annoyed by the many typos in this book. That being said, the content was certainly thought provoking, but I realized that I already have been doing the majority of the things that they recommended. I guess it was useful in helping me realize that I am living a lot more simply than many people are and that I am well on my way to living an authentic and uncluttered life.I did find helpful the part about finding my passion. The questions recommended where helpful for my particular way of thinking about life.
Très bon livre ...
Je commente en Français ;-) en gros ce livre est certainement un des meilleurs si vous vous cherchez et que vous ne vous sentez pas heureux. Si vous sentez qu'ils vous manquent quelque chose. En fait c'est un peu un livre de développement personnel. Mais qui te fait prendre conscience de petits trucs en plus comme par exemple le fait que on veut toujours plus de choses inutiles ... C'est du dev perso en mode minimalisme (en mieux) qui va à l'essentiel.
Deliberate
A great book to read when reconsidering what really matters in life. Plenty of food for thought. Definitely worth a re-read.
Life Changing!
This is now in my top 5 most influential books. Decluttering is only a small factor in removing the anchors from your life which prevent you from growing and focusing on one’s own passions and the people—not things that help one live a meaningful life.
Inspiring book
I absolutely loved this book. It's very inspiring and tells you so many truth things about minimalist, how to live better and find the right way to happiness.
