Older but inspiring to me

I listen to this book every year or two. I own the book and used to have it on cassette tape. It inspires me. One of my favorites.

Old and really good quick little book of gems.

loved this little book. it's slightly dated and probably not much you haven't heard some where and still worth picking up. her voice is quaint and pleasant and at times quite humorous.

Easy to read, immensely valuable

I first read this priceless book upon its original hard cover release many years ago, and have bought innumerable copies for friends and business colleagues. Its simple, but valuable advice has been a key factor enabling me to meet my goals during many years of heavy business workloads amid personal commitments and circumstances which tended to coincide outside of my control. Easy to read, practical in the real world, and so before her time... Many of us who are intrigued by simplifying and/or minimalism today were inspired first by her book, now more relevant than ever, which covered so very well many ideas that are just catching on today. For most of my life, I have read or listened to several books every week, yet this remains one of the top five most valuable books I have ever read.

I enjoyed the Minimalists more. I believe the book

I enjoyed the Minimalists more. I believe this book is from the 1990s. There is nothing else to say.
