    I was expecting something more. Some parts (travel and finance) are common sense or even worse

    I listened to this book immediately after listening to his other book called "Focus". Many of the ideas and concepts overlap between the two books, so I didn't find too many things in this one that was not covered in his other book. However, I did enjoy this book and a general sense because it is very practical and down-to-earth regarding the advice and encouragement provided to live a minimalist life. There are even a few concepts in this book that were not touched upon in "Focus". In this book, when I got to a topic that was already mentioned elsewhere, I just skip the chapter. I do recommend this book even if other books by this author have been read, or if his blog posts have been read as well.

    Now Im moving to Madrid for 15 months and Im planning to reduce up to 70% of what I have... I’ m documenting it because I keep getting lost among my belongings and thoughts..

    Things listed in this book are fairly common sense. Watching a Netflix documentary or watching some YouTube videos on Minimalism can gain the same knowledge that this book provides.

    I’m currently at the very end stages of cleaning out my borderline hoarding grandparents and parents houses. Finally getting to do my own purging and have hit a wall for a year. I listened to this audible on repeat for days and have seen a huge change from life long issues with possessions. Yay!
