USA TODAY BESTSELLER • A popular minimalist blogger and author of The More of Less shows you how to methodically turn your home into a place of peace, contentment, and purposeful living.
One of today's most influential minimalist advocates takes us on a decluttering tour of our own houses and apartments, showing us how to decide what to get rid of and what to keep. He both offers practical guidelines for simplifying our lifestyle at home and addresses underlying issues that contribute to over-accumulation in the first place. The purpose is not just to create a more inviting living space. It's also to turn our life's HQ—our home—into a launching pad for a more fulfilling and productive life in the world.
I enjoyed this book. However, I disagree with the author about the best way to declutter. I have found that decluttering from the inside-out (starting with closets and ending with high traffic areas/living room) works best. Granted, he has a family, so maybe starting with "easy" areas makes it easier to get other family members on board with the process. But I live alone and I have found that if you start with closets, it frees up storage, so when you tackle living areas you will actually have a place to put things you want to keep, so you don't have to create a special triage-area. You can just put stuff in the closet at that point. Just my two cents.
