Pretty quick and easy book to read through. The book itself is absolutely gorgeous!!! There were several little nuggets in the book that I found myself highlighting, but I didn’t rate this 5 stars because, overall, there wasn’t much new that the author brought to the table.

Another slow living book—nothing revolutionary but a nice read and good reminders.
Edit: I picked this up at the library to read because I forgot I’d read it already. Literally forgettable.

The timing of this book couldn’t have been better for me personally. Especially in 2020 with so many unknowns. It let me know I’m on my correct path in this time and space at this moment. The tips and tricks are great advice and I really enjoyed the personal experiences.

There was nothing groundbreaking in this book, but there were some beautiful and uplifting passages to help remind you of the beauty of what you have and take time to enjoy the small moments with your loved ones.

This is a book for the modern mom/woman. Rushed, busy, frazzled, overwhelmed, overloaded.... burned out. All the things this world makes us feel & think are signs of a productive, full life, are the things Emily digs into in this book. This continues perfectly & hones in deeper than her previous two.
While not ground breaking & certainly a message that is being talked about more, its definitely not talked about enough. An easy read to savor. Don’t rush through, take your time with this one.

'When Less Becomes More' is a short, self-help book that talks about making time for the simple things in life whilst also tackling feeling burnt out or overwhelmed.
Emily Ley has an incredibly calming voice, and I think that's what I enjoyed most about the audio book.
She often covered topics such as family life and parent hood, and although I couldn't relate to any of it personally, I could see the merit behind her messages.
Her points about social media, and her advice on how to stop being consumed by it all was actually quite useful, and I'm looking to also integrate them into my own everyday life

I listened to this book and it was SO good. It was so heart warming and full of advice. I recommend this book to everyone but especially if you’re feeling with overwhelm / over stimulation.

I like the idea of living with less, but don't always want to give up my stuff to get there. I've been exploring some books about the idea. However, this doesn't really have that much to say that's moving or practical. Very focused on being a mom and dealing with kids.

“I would argue that life happens in the margin, maybe even more so than amid our most important commitments. The free afternoon, the hour between appointments, even the fully unplanned weekend are when we find long chats with friends, slow meals savored with loved ones, and lego creations built with hours of focus.”
