There are many benefits to minimalism. It keeps people from debt. Many consumers make the mistake of living well beyond their means. A person who takes on a large debt burden loses his/her financial freedom. Minimalism helps to ensure that people have the essentials that they need and that no matter what happens, they will be provided for.

I couldn't put this down once I started reading. It is a true eye opener. Teaches many easy to adjust ways of living and spending. A must read for the consumer of all sorts. I downloaded this on kindle for iPhone and can carry it with me where ever I go. Part of this book set actually suggests the digital copies over print which equates to less clutter. All of us have hoarding intincts somewhere within us and this book helps us identify that. Collecting ie hoarding. Organizational tips from the home to work. Repurposing old shirts to rugs or quilts. Using old metal for wall decorations. Becoming a minimalist. I already do this in most areas of my life but, have noticed that my husband and children are the spenders and would rather throw something out and just get a new one instead of a much cheaper fix. I love this book set and intend for husband and children to also read. Minimalism creates less stress and the ability to pay yourself at 10% minimum thus creating more wealth.

This boxed set is an easy and well organized read. It is a series of short, self-help books from different authors.
The one thing that I noticed about this set is that all the authors give me a game plan for helping create a more minimalist lifestyle, but they are all generally saying the same thing. Which I kind of expected. Realistically, there is nothing new and exciting about making your life and home and mind more minimalistic. The downfall to having all of this in one box set is that I could see how some people might find it repetitive.
Each author covers what living as a minimalist means and the benefits for doing so.

I really enjoy how all of the authors set you out with a game plan for taking on your life one step at a time and minimizing every facet of it. The one thing that I did notice is that the tips for helping you de-clutter your life vary slightly from one author to the next, so while some tips might work well for one person they may not work well for the next, and you have the option to hear other ideas from different people.

One of my favorite chapters was from (I believe) the first author. It is Chapter 3: How to Implement Clutter Busting Routines.
This is one of my hardest sections to tackle. I will start off with the motivation in my day to really get some clutter out of my house and will start off organizing and decluttering one particular room. In that room I will find items that belong somewhere else, but when I take those items out of the room to put them somewhere else, I find myself working in that room instead of going back where I started. At the end of the day I might have reorganized for 5 hours and have gotten rid of 3 bags of items to either donate or throw away - but when you look around it doesn't look like I've accomplished anything because those 3 bags were from the whole house. Chipping away a little at a time just isn't working for me.
One of the biggest tips I read was to start in one room. It might be the only room I work on that day - but stick to that one room until it is done.

Another section that I found helpful from this box set dealt with minimalizing my finances. I have started to cut back on a lot of our finances, not for my own personal desire to cut back but because our income forced us to. We cut cable over a year ago because we couldn't afford the bill. At the time of cutting cable I thought that it was going to be a temporary situation until I could afford "the finer things in life" again. Since cutting cable we have invested in a Roku and an Android TV box. Over a year later, our income situation still isn't much better, but now that I've adjusted to this way of life I absolutely love living without cable. I couldn't imagine ever going back. We save well over $1,200 a year by not having cable and our family doesn't suffer from it. We still watch our favorite shows, and if we can't think of anything to watch we don't waste hours of our life channel surfing through frivolous shows. I think that cutting cable has created a healthier mental life for us as well.

There are different plans in this box set for tackling your home, your mind, your finances, and relationships that all work towards creating a more stress-free, enriching life.

I am still torn between 4 and 5 stars for this box set. I am leaving it at 4 stars because I think that a lot of the information is repeats itself from each author. On the other hand, I think that changing your lifestyle and making changes in your life requires repeating certain information or doing certain actions over and over again until it becomes routine. I am also in love with the idea that when my mind becomes unorganized or I don't know what to tackle in my life next, I now have a reference at my fingertips to help keep me motivated and moving forward.

3 articles repeating the same information does not make a book

I love the concept of minimalist living and got this book hoping it would give insight in to how to create and maintain this lifestyle. First of all I felt that not one of the authors had a lot to say about minimalist living so they compiled 3 different essays to make the book longer. This would be a good approach had the 3 different essays vary in their approach. However, I felt that I read the same things in all 3 essays so they would have been better off trying to sell their 3 different ideas based on the small amount of differences.

Maybe the purpose of this book was to simply spark an interest in becoming a minimalist but if I didn't already have an appreciation for the lifestyle I would have really been turned off by the thoughts of recycling dental floss and tuna cans. No wonder minimalist are thought to be strange. People write books about keeping everything and reprising it. That is actually more of a hoarding tendency than a minimalist tendency and since it came from teh author who admits he is a natural hoarder, I think some lines got crossed.

There are so many different reasons that people choose to become minimalists. And if you want to write a book about it then choose something hundreds of other people aren't already writing in free blogs across the Internet. Narrow down what Avenue you want to cater to and do that unapologetically. For example....I am a minimalist solely for the purpose of keeping my mind free of anxiousness that comes when physical clutter surrounds me. I would live a book completely dedicated to that purpose and how to clean both your home and mind. I don't need financial advice and reprising ideas. I need to have step by step instructions for ridding my home and keeping my home free from clutter.

Overall the book was not what I was looking for but may be helpful to others. My last piece of advice is to read the 1st article and skip the other 2.

I received this item for free for my honest review.

If you ever wanted to live a more simple life, then this is the book for you. It's a great read for someone who wants to pare down the clutter in their home and life. I would highly recommend this book! 3 different short books about minimal living, but many similar ideas. I would have appreciated more insight and variety from each story. I found the repeated use of the same illustrations a bit distracting. The third story starts off with an account of minimalism in art, and this was not clearly connected to the ideas about living simply presented later. Overall, it was a quick read that gives some good ideas about paring down and questioning motives for how you're living. Thanks! I got this at a discounted price in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.
