This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Own Less, Live Best Intentionality for Minimalist Lifestyle Chapter 2: Benefits of Minimalism Chapter 3: Getting Your Life Back Becoming a Minimalist Other Ways to Maximize Life Minimalism in Homes Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Minimalism is a way of living that cuts the gluttony surrounding our world. It is the exact opposite of what we see in ads, what we hear on the radio, or what commercials air on TV. It contrasts what our society has etched on our minds regarding the claimed importance of accumulating stuff. It tells us to dismiss ourselves from consumerism, instead of priding ourselves for all our material possessions, the clutters in our environment, the skyrocketing debts, and an abundance of infinite distractions. People are joining the craze of the material world and we are left with a meaningless one. People are crazy over lots of stuff, with closets full of clothes, racks full of shoes, garages stacked with useless gears, basements cluttered with boxes of what seems like hoarding of old items. They are living the typical life: working hard to make good money, spend a great chunk on it to pay for mortgage, buy fancy clothes, and keep up with friends who have luxury cars, or get a hand of cool technology which are seen as bragging rights. It is hard to see and realize that we do not need any of these, and that life is more meaningful when there are no people to impress, that we do not have to spend so much on stuff we don’t need just to make us happy, and that a rise in pay wouldn’t necessarily mean a rise in cost of living. It takes a turning point to make people aware that they are losing themselves over their material possessions. And this point could be achieved by the continuous effort of dissenters who encourage a simpler, less materialist life. Living a minimalist lifestyle means throwing out what you do not need and focus only on those that you need. We only need little to survive while still living happily. We only need the small things to keep content in our hearts. The stuff that surround us are only depictions of materialism, and the society telling us that we have to consume more of it is just a way of luring us into consumerism. These things do not matter and do not account for our own happiness.

This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use These Simple and Powerful Decluttering Secrets to Immediately Eliminate Stress and Save Time Today! Take back control of your life. Minimalism is about learning how to be happy and live fulfilled with less. Less doesn't necessarily mean you live in a van without internet and live from selling handmade bracelets to tourists. Less means the perfect scenario in which you have enough to live happy with objects you need and love. There is a pattern in modern society in which you are expected to spend and finance acquiring luxury items with debt. However true happiness is rarely found in these material belongings. There's nothing wrong with owning nice and expensive things but it becomes a problem when things start to own you. Minimalism is about breaking this pattern and going back to basics. It helps you appreciate non material things such as experiences and skill development. There's no right or wrong answer to how many things you need in order to be a minimalist, as we all have different perceptions of necessities and opinions on how much is enough. In this Book You'll Learn: What’s Minimalism? The Minimalist Principles Adopt Minimalism? Minimalistic Life Applying Minimalism Remove Stress Minimalism is not about selling your house or car and living in a cave. It is about getting rid of the little, little things in life and focusing on the bigger important things. The object of this book is to set you on a course to de-cluttering both your physical and mental space so that you can focus more on what is really important and free yourself to lead a happier and more productive lifestyle. The art of simplifying is not necessarily simple in itself but it will become that way as you break down the tasks ahead of you into smaller more manageable chunks. The reward for doing this will be a much deeper sense of inner peace and a greater ability to tackle those areas of your life that really matter. So if you are ready for a breakthrough, take the challenge to change and see what minimalism can do for you!

Book excerpt: Don’t Settle for More 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 life we wish we were living. Live a better life with less. In The More of Less, Joshua Becker helps you... • Recognize the life-giving benefits of owning less • Realize how all the stuff you own is keeping you from pursuing your dreams • Craft a personal, practical approach to decluttering your home and life • Experience the joys of generosity • Learn why the best part of minimalism isn’t a clean house, it’s a full life The beauty of minimalism isn’t in what it takes away. It’s in what it gives. Make Room in Your Life for What You Really Want “Maybe you don’t need to own all this stuff.” After a casual conversation with his neighbor on Memorial Day 2008, Joshua Becker realized he needed a change. He was spending far too much time organizing possessions, cleaning up messes, and looking for more to buy. So Joshua and his wife decided to remove the nonessential possessions from their home and life. Eventually, they sold, donated, or discarded over 60 percent of what they owned. In exchange, they found a life of more freedom, more contentment, more generosity, and more opportunity to pursue the things that mattered most. The More of Less delivers an empowering plan for living more by owning less. With practical suggestions and encouragement to personalize your own minimalist style, Joshua Becker shows you why minimizing possessions is the best way to maximize life. Are you ready for less cleaning, less anxiety, and less stress in your life? Simplicity isn’t as complicated as you think.

Clutter can: • Overwhelm the senses • Consume space • Drain energy from our surroundings • Cause stress and anxiety This book will show you how to lighten up so you can walk into your home and be surrounded only by the things you love. Living in a minimalistic way means clearing the clutter from your life to focus on what’s truly important. Chances are, 75% of the things in your home are no benefit to your life at all. You’ll also find that throwing out a few garbage bags feels even better than therapy. Why do you hold onto things? Here are just some of the reasons: • Security—but the paradox is that the more we cling, the more frustrated and overwhelmed we feel. • Addiction—shopping is a high and the novelty wears off. • Approval—keeping material representations of who we are is one way we show off. • Identity—we identify with what we own so that’s why we’re upset when something is stolen or broken. • Obligation to others—we please others by keeping gifts and inherited things we don’t really like or need. By letting go of possessions that no longer serves us, we can • Let go of old beliefs • Open ourselves up to new opportunities and relationships • See your home, your life for what they really are • Need less and do more • Cultivate meaningful relationships • Be more in tune with yourself in a meditative space • Stop shopping as a form of therapy • Stop wasting money • Restore clarity • FIND WHAT YOU REALLY VALUE When you have inner clutter, it expands to your environment. So when you live in a clean and soothing environment, it can only benefit your inner life. Don’t let the word minimalism scare you. Minimalistic living is not about getting rid of modern advancements and living in the stone age. It’s only about keeping things that are useful, meaningful and add value to your life. While it does not place importance on material things and lavish living, minimalism is also not about denying yourself of the things you need. The guide is divided by different rooms and topics to make it easy and practical to refer to. • Entryway • Kitchen • Living Room • Bathroom • Bedroom • Children’s Rooms • Teen Rooms • Garage • Basement • Attic • Garden • Office • Computer & Technology • Closets • Mail • Sentimental Objects • Photos • Cards & Letters • Music • People This book also helps you • Recognize Clutter • Declutter, clean & organize your home room by room • Sell your things for profit • Shop for a minimalist wardrobe • Get your family on board • Declutter digital content and computer files • Go car-free or car-lite • Surround yourself with people who add value to your life • Maintain your space once you’ve minimalized Living with less is the first step to a peaceful mind.
