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.

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

It's time to own your possessions instead of letting them own you. After all, the beauty of minimalism isn't in what it takes away. It's in what it gives.

the information offered in the book is good. however the authors should have chosen someone else to narrate this work. The author's narration is extremely aggravating because he tends to drop the last syllable of most sentences,

Good Info, but Needs Different Narrator

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would say that this book could be dropped by an hour of time. The message does make sense and if you are already a clean person and view yourself as a investor as oppose to a consumer you probably wouldn't need to listen to this book. If for some reason you are the person who can't throw things away and find yourself buying things constantly you could probably benefit from this book.

A lot of good points, but I wish the description would have been a LOT more transparent about the author being a pastor, with endless biblical references and parables. Not what I came here for, and it got increasingly irritating. I have absolutely no problem with the book or it's content, but at least describe the content accurately so people can make an informed decision.

If you want to hear about Jesus...

Becker's obviously not the first to write on this topic, but this book is clear, well written, with step by step instructions on how not to be overwhelmed by the early tasks of reducing the clutter. He also includes motivation on why to replace all that stuff and its maintenance with service to others.

Life changing.
