Minimalist Living: Decluttering for Joy, Health, and Creativity (Simple & Creative Living)

I quite enjoyed this book as it gave me the motivation I needed to start decluttering my home & life and so far it feels good! I am a hoarder, I always like to hold onto things just in case I might need or want them in the future but the reality is that in most cases I never do. I have been selling things that have a nominal value on Facebook and putting the funds in a pot for a family holiday or activity and anything else is being listed on Freegle and being given away to others who might have some use for it because I don't like to throw things into the landfill if they still have some useful life in them.

It's a great starter guide to help you realise how much stuff you accumulated over the years and how much stress that it can have over you. Starting small and building up can clear space and help you simplify life.

This is the best book I have read on decluttering and living a minimalist lifestyle. Love this book. Inspiring and highly motivational. Read it.

Ipad taking up too much space. Needs to go.

Just stating the obvious. If you haven't used it or worn it this year, get rid of it. Quite a dull read.

Interesting and thought provoking. I read this book after having already sorting through my belongings, though the theory of minimalism outlined in this book and the process for removing clutter is well thought out.

Short and sweet. Talked about why, how to, after decluttering as well as some environment stuff. Good read and practical.

Good

I rarely read a book from beginning to end but was captivated from the get-go. Genevieve was bang on with her explanation if differences between purgers and hoarders. Her simple and meaningful explanations gave insight on how others may think. Minimalism is personal and may not have the same meaning for someone else but by following these simple steps and tapping into our inner selves, everyone can achieve a simplicity in life which generates the life one wishes to live.I highly recommend this fast-flowing and easy read to anyone feeling the need to pare down and find more time and space in their lives to live the life they desire.

A good introduction to minimalist living. I've read a few books on the topic and though I prefer Simplify by Joshua Becker as an introduction, this book does a fine job too and is an easy read.

This idea is like standing on a cliff... seems simple enough but taking the leap has much emotion tied to it. This is like a therapy!

Interesting
