Less Is Best: Declutter, Organize, & Simplify to Reach Minimalism; Get More Time, Money, & Energy by Sage WilcoxMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Less Is Best: Declutter, Organize, & Simplify to Reach Minimalism; Get More Time, Money, & Energy by Sage Wilcox makes the case that less is more when it comes to possessions and that simply reducing the amount of stuff you have can be very freeing. The author lays out an example in the beginning of the book describing the replacement of a mattress. She had slept on a mattress for years, and when it faded with wear and tear, as they do, she replaced it with a more expensive one. However, it was not better, in fact it gave her a backache. This experience alone, and combined with others, defines the book's premise and the need to look at what we have, what we want, and what we truly need. Wilcox lays out her recommendations for reducing the stuff in your life, and by doing so, opens the door to more freedom. Plenty of inspirational quotes are sprinkled throughout the book, these, along with the author's perspective, may in fact help you to be happy with less. Highly recommend.
