Just What I Needed in my Life

I couldn't stop listening. I will listen again and again because it's meant to be digested in smaller increments. (I don't agree with the diet section but he does say he's not a professional.)

Short Minimalist Essays

This is a collection of essays that range in topics, basically short snippets on life through the minimalist view master. Click, onto the next essay. The writing is good and the topics thoughtful. As I delve into minimalism, it was nice to hear their viewpoints in my ear.

Needs more subcategories

Great listen, but slightly overwhelming to listen in one sitting. It gets repetitive after a while.

Life-changing

This book is comparable to being placed in front of a mirror and slapped repeatedly until awake. Please beware, please read.

Recommended book! Let inspire your self.....
