"What is a minimalist life? It's one that is stripped of the unnecessary, to make room for that which gives you joy. It's a removal of clutter in all its forms, leaving you with peace and freedom and lightness. A minimalist values quality, not quantity, in all forms." So writes Leo Babauta, the creator of Zen Habits and author of The Simple Guide to a Minimalist Life. A joy to read, this little book will help you clear out clutter, be content with less, and simplify your life - with tips on everything from creating a minimalist workspace to going paperless. In short, it will help you enjoy a simpler, happier life!

A very refreshing look at how to rock and roll in this world full of unnecessary junk and clutter. Aside from not having sired 6 offspring, there are many things in here with which I can relate. Well read and a good guide for anyone looking to simplify life at all the fundamental levels. Not too long, which I like :)

Some good points but a little radical
