A good introduction to minimalism for those just starting out, and a quick refresher for those who've been doing it for a while. Nothing new or innovative, but simple and easy to follow.

Quick Read for Starting the Mindset Change
As the title states, there is a lot concerning families in this book. It was free so I got it anyway. Some good info to think about and for starting the process.

This book has low-key, practical advice for getting rid of shit. It has less anxiety inducing procedures like The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. The author suggests: Here’s good option, or you could do this option, or not. Whatever makes you feel good. More people need to read this because we get so much consumerist messages out there. Costco demands that we buy more shit, Amazon, store loyalty cards, FOMO.... it’s all to make a person scream. The author instead urges us to block out such messages to figure out what is really important and teach your kids that too. I put this in my little free library in front of my house so another family in my ‘hood could opt out too.

I thought this was going to be a values-based book on how to live more simply and buy less, but it’s more of a decluttering book focused on simplifying what you already have. Marie Kondo’s book was much more entertaining on that subject, and the author refers to her ideas several times. There is one chapter toward the end focused on life after decluttering, but I didn’t take away any new ideas or inspiration.

This is great if you haven’t read any other minimalism books. I think if you have read Marie Kendo’s book and The Minimalists book, it’s basically combining the two.

If you are interested in minimalism, this is a great guide/overview. Otherwise, maybe not something you'd want to spend much time on .... but if you skim it there are some great points, even for non-minimalists.

Slowly adapting our habits for minimalism and giving our possessions a marked purpose in our lives and a dedicated space for everything in our home.
