Story
ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play Ultimate Frisbee, and use the word namaste without irony. After he had a panic attack on live television, he went on a strange and circuitous journey that ultimately led him to embrace a practice he'd long considered ridiculous. Harris discovered that meditation made him more focused and less yanked around by his emotions. According to his wife, it also made him significantly less annoying.

Story
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.

Terrific Introduction to Minimalism!
I loved everything about this book. It describes minimalism in such a concise way (apt title!) that I believe I truly understand what it’s about and how to effectively implement it in my life, in a way that will work for me. Including options for putting it into use was extremely helpful. The icing on the cake was Jay Myers’ narration. I can’t imagine a more engaging narrator. I’m now excited to put minimalism into practice.

Great if you have never heard of minimalism
If you have heard the term and don’t know anything about it, this is a great book. However, if you already know what minimalism is, then the info in this book is redundant. Honestly, nothing in this book that you can’t easily find online for free but it doe summarize it all in one book but if you want something quick, short and easy and don’t know a thing about it.
