a really nice concise guide to minimalism

I happened to watch the documentary on Minimalism on Netflix and had decided that this was something I wanted to explore more about because ever since I have graduated from being a student to a working adult, I have not been able to control my expenses having found this whole new freedom to purchase stuff without feeling too guilty about spending my dad's money - but that has slowly escalated into buying things for the sake of it, hoarding things and shopping stuff just for a distraction or as a means of procrastination. And ironically, even though I buy stuff thinking that purchasing it will make me happy, my bank balance which is in shambles by the end of the month leaves me feeling extremely depressed and angry at myself.

So I picked this handy little book on Audible.

It's a really nice concise guide to minimalism. The chapters are short and crisp, the writing is good, not preachy or patronizing. In fact, I gave it one extra star just for the way it has been written! A very very good start for someone like me who is looking to explore it and incorporate it into their life. The chapters are short and sweet and divided into different themes. It's long enough to be informative, and short enough not to get repetitive or boring. A nice book to listen to leisurely in parts

Actionable advice and tips to start living a minim

Where does The 21-Day Minimalism Challenge rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The “21-Day Minimalist Challenge” is a useful book if you’re looking for a quick introduction to the philosophy of minimalism. The book provides actionable advice and tips to start living a minimalist lifestyle in 21 days. Each day, the book gives you an exercise to do in order to reach your goal, making the process practical and easy to follow.

I’m moving house this summer and this book gave me some motivation to really get started with decluttering. This will not only save me time in moving all my stuff, but I have to say it also feels refreshing to throw away things you don’t really need!

Minimalism, however, is much more than just decluttering alone: it’s also a way of life and a new, refreshing perspective on things. In the West, we are so used to treating physical possessions as absolute necessities for our happiness. But are all those possessions truly necessary and aren’t we much better off collecting moments instead of things? This book will help you declutter, but by giving an insight into the philosophy of minimalism it also invites you to form a new perspective on what’s truly important in life. Very useful book!

not your usual minimalism guide

Wonderful guide, simply written with concepts and projects that can be added and thought of in everyday life to help people reduce stress significantly by decluttering life, environment and mind. It changed my perspectives and, yes, albeit cheesy, also my life. Looking forward to reading more in this series!

Happy to find this guide in audio format

I'm happy to find this guide in audio format!

It's wise and deep, yet makes me laugh out loud every now and then because of the author's witty humor.

The biggest eye opener for me was that, without really realizing it, I thought I would be happier if I had more money, a beautiful car, a big house etc. But the thought of one of my best friends who has all this kept nagging me. He is still in this state of "not enough", still wanting more, which makes him feel exactly the same as I do: needing more before I can be happy. This book touched on this issue with the advice not to chase happiness by owning and accumulating more stuff, but instead to focus on living a MEANINGFUL life and collect experiences and memories rather then material possessions.

I also liked the part where you are encouraged to find your own style of minimalism. This really took some pressure off of me; realizing minimalism should be about a feeling of relief and liberation, not about deprivation and unhappiness.

It's a 21-day challenge, but the author says that this is just a guideline, you can spend a little longer on some days if you feel you need to. I chose to spend 2 days on each day, making it more like a 6 week challenge which combined better for me with the demands of work. 6 weeks gave me plenty of time to process everything, while keeping me motivated with a new exercise every other day. If you're working fulltime like me, I would recommend this, or do the challenge during a holiday period.

In summery, if you like the concept of Minimalism, but aren't sure how to start implementing it in your life, I can really recommend this challenge.

This book helped me start my own journey into mini

Thank you so much for this detailed path towards my true self. As a 3rd generation post Great Depression hoarder and "buy it because someone will need/want it and it's on sale" person surrounded by things that bring anxiety and depression, this is the key I needed to unlock the steps and the motivation to clear my home, my mind and my heart of decades of clutter. This book will be shared with everyone I love so they can find themselves in the chaos as well. I'm off to donate more bags of stuff.

I loved it

This is a non-fiction book about adopting a minimalist lifestyle and I loved it.

Years ago when I was in my twenties I picked up a suitcase, placed a few items of clothing and moved very far away. Since then, I have tried to live with the bare essentials and that is why the concept of a minimalist living resonates with me.

The book introduces the basics and serves as a guide to those who want to declutter their homes as well as their digital environments (i.e. unsubscribe from all those marketing emails and newsletters). it also includes organizing and self-care tips.

Overall, I highly recommend it to those who are looking into decluttering and living more organized.

great challenge

I enjoyed the approach taken here. There isn't a lot of unnecessary hand holding and you-can-do-it-if only-you-think-positive non-sense. Instead there are practical tips and a real world perspective delivered in a clear and straightforward way. Well done.
