Going through things and minimalizing the unwanted, unused, and unneeded felt SO good.Īnyway, while I did find some of this book to be a bit.preachy - and borderline deceitful in regard to unwanted gifts - I also really appreciated the overlying message of simplicity, environmental awareness, and the idea of living more mindfully. Who knew I had 75 pairs of shoes, 50 pens and an embarrassing amount of purses and makeup. I did manage to cull the herd in other ways, though.
Meaning I got rid of 25 books! Sounds minimalist to me.
I mean, homie already “pared down” her book collection to, like, a thousand. My goal is to clear the blatantly superfluous and eradicate my needless spending. Nothing against those people - kudos to them - but that’s just not my goal. Rather, I see myself as merely what has been dubbed as a rational minimalist, meaning my goal is not to be a one pair of shoes owning, figurine-less psychopath with only two glass mason jars and a capsule wardrobe. That said, I am not striving to be a strict or pure minimalist by any means. The premise of only owning and keeping things that I need, use, or bring me joy seriously appeals to me.
This was a solid book on Minimalism, a lifestyle I am becoming more and more in line with.
