Learn How You Can Get More Out Of Your Life With A Minimalistic Approach

When you think of ‘Budgeting', ‘Spending Less’ and ‘Saving Expenses’ you probably associate all of these words directly with money. Money plays a significant role in our lives. It is nice to have enough money to live the kind of lifestyle we want, and it contributes leverage power to what we can do in and with our lives.

We can have various relationships with money, we can love it, we can hate it, we can be obsessed with money, and we can crave it. Your parents or relatives might have taught you some good old school values when it comes to money. Get a good education, get a stable job, buy a house as soon as possible, and have enough savings in your bank account.

Simply put, money has power in our lives. You want to see money as a resource. Realising and accepting that your resources are not unlimited can bring tremendous peace in our lives. Knowing the value of what we have helps us respect ourselves, our time and our environments more.

Money is only one of our resources in life, and probably not the most important one. Think about it, would you trade both of your eyes for 10 million dollars? I highly doubt you would...

Here's what we will address in this book; What do you truly value in your life?

5.0 out of 5 stars "Nothing will ever be as important as your time, health and peace of mind."
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017
Verified Purchase
This was an excellent book, short and sweet in its approach to reminding the reader what is truly important in life. Why we work not just for the earnings, but for the enjoyment and the feelings of self-worth and to help others. Comparing ever dollar earned to how we budget and spend our money. Discussions included the media, and how advertisers get us hooked on bigger is better, and how we need this product to feel good and to show our worth.
Excellent advice, timely for myself when money has been tight and I have found myself enjoying time at home, with my family eating quality meals and using leftovers to make wholesome inexpensive soups for the following dinners. Clearing out clutter and using what I already have in my house to make my home more purposeful for my life and my family.
"Realizing and accepting that your resources are not unlimited can bring tremendous peace in our lives. Knowing the value of what we have helps us respect ourselves, our time and our environments more."
"Each day only has 24 hours and what we do with our time and energy during our day is irreversible."
"Minimalism stand for finding what you need, aiming to fulfill that need and rethinking our wants."
Excellent book, I encourage all to read it and make little changes in your life in the near future.

Lots of typos and grammar mistakes. The format of the writing is not easy to consume and the points laid out were not very interesting. The writer didn't really delve into the topic or get creative with suggestions and advice. Unfortunately it wasn't worth spending money on this book for me

Great information on choosing a more minimalist lifestyle, including reducing debt and learning to be happier with less "stuff". The book format was a little odd, on my Kindle app every page was only half full. I was a little distracted by some grammatical errors and mis-spellings. But overall, this book is a great introduction on living a more mindful life.

After reading a few books on minimalism, I highly enjoyed this one. In a way, this book teaches you how to manage your money by reducing your spending and getting rid of items unnecessary in your life that take up space. Worth every penny.

I just finished reading this book and all in all, I'm glad I did. Chris points out the futility of following a object obsessed mentality. He encourages each of us to pursue independent, thought-filled lives. It is a quick read and despite the grammatical errors, the point of his philosophy comes through very clearly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 29, 2018
Verified Purchase
I consider this to be a really good read. The information presented is enlightening and potentially life changing. A short book, which makes valid points. Only 4 star, rather than 5, as I was irritated that it appears not to have been proof read and contains spelling errors- one sentence actually just stops mid way through! Despite this, I highly recommend reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Minimalism is not a life of lack
Reviewed in Canada on February 9, 2017
Verified Purchase
The feeling of 'not enough' or 'want' once our basic needs are met is fueled by the society we built and live in. What if there was another way and you could step out of the box? If you've never explored the philosophy behind minimalism then enjoy this easy read filled with insight and practical tips.
