About this listen
Cluttered desk? Stuffed closet? Stressed-out life?
Most of us know the weight of too much stuff. We can avoid it for a while, but when it's time to move house or reorganize, we can't escape facing our clutter.
Your excess stuff can hold you back and make you sick. Having stuff we don't use or enjoy is a burden, a waste of money, and importantly, it doesn't spark joy. If your rooms, closets, and surfaces are filled with clutter, all your unneeded possessions can get in the way of a full experience of life as it was meant to be lived.
Minimalist Living covers not only techniques for decluttering but how doing so can fill your newfound space with meaningful and creative activities that add joy to your life and support your goals.
You have the power to bring serenity, clarity, creativity, and more joy to your life with minimalist living. This audiobook, now updated for 2020, will show you how.
In Minimalist Living, you will discover:
- Why you should define your own sense of minimalism
- How to create your "minimalist mission statement"
- How to use the techniques of "blazing" and "gazing" to declutter
- Why decluttering now can lead to a happier, healthier, and more creative life
- How to deal with sentimental items without losing their meaning
- What is the amazing connection between minimalism and living your soul's deepest purpose
- And much more...
If you want to experience the powerful de-stressing and pro-health benefits of minimalism, get this book now.
"It's not just a book of helpful tips to overcome our tendencies to consume and to hoard; it's a book for anybody who wants to reflect on how they can pursue happiness in a world, where everything is conspiring to make us think happiness lies in our power as consumers to buy what we want." (Dr. Philip J. Harold, Associate Dean, School of Education and Social Sciences, RMU)

While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, many of us simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin? Add in paralyzing emotional attachments and constant life challenges, and it can feel almost impossible to make real decluttering progress.

Story
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 lives we wish we were living. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Everywhere around you are distractions: That text you respond to quickly, just to get it out of the way. The newest money-making side hustle to cross your mind. The evening spent organizing your overflowing kitchen cupboards. Disruptions are the enemies of a life well lived—both the new distractions of our generation and timeless ones that have existed for centuries. They all add up to make you feel restless, tired, and unfulfilled. They’re keeping you from living with joy, from accomplishing the good that only you can do.

The effects were remarkable: Sasaki gained true freedom, new focus, and a real sense of gratitude for everything around him.
