By: George Pain

Narrated by: Dave Wright

Do you want to change your life? Do you want a simple, happy, budget-friendly life?

Then read below:

Minimalists are people who consciously and intentionally try to live with only what they really need. The mantra would be: "Identify the essential, and eliminate all else." Minimalists are against uncontrolled consumption. It seems that when you have more things that you can use and want more than you can afford, you enter into a vicious cycle in which your things do not work for you, but you work for them in order to impress other persons and raise your status in life. Maybe it's a lifestyle that fills you with stress and dissatisfaction.

So get ready, prepare yourself to be a new person, and make peace of mind a new companion on the adventure you have on this trip named life. This book is going to lead you through the minimalist way to be happy in real terms.

Here's what's included in this book:

• What is minimalist living
• The benefits of minimalism
• Social and emotional minimalism
• Financial minimalism
• Decluttering for joy

Good luck as you put one step forward on this trek to strive for that deep understanding of true, simplified happiness!

This Book Has Great Tips

This book has a lot of great tips and is inspiring. It seems like it might be easier to read than to listen to. Like a lot of non-fiction books, they're hard to narrate and keep the listeners attention.

Decent

I ended up listening to this in the car which wasn’t too bad. I knew some of the minimalistic views on how to do things but ultimately it’s not for everyone. Probably not for me but it’s aleays an option and I’ll come back to this book if I do. Not a bad listen.

The Best way to live

The moderate living is a remarkable idea that many are currently living with. The book is great.

The perfect start into minimalist living

Before reading this book I had only seen minimalism posts on blogs and Pinterest, but I never really got too into the lifestyle. Once I purchased this audiobook, I fell in love with how George explained the lifestyle and how it can change your life overall. Not just with reducing your spending, but your overall happiness as a person. The length of the book was perfect for introduction in the lifestyle itself. I can not wait to get started with the decluttering step — excellent book. Please write more books on this topic!

On the short side

I know this was only the first volume in the series, but I wish it would have been longer. It was a good topic that was well written and very well narrated, but I felt shorted when it ended after only a hour and thirty two minutes.
