Publisher's Summary
USA Today best seller
A popular minimalist blogger and author of The More of Less shows you how to methodically turn your home into a place of peace, contentment, and purposeful living.
One of today's most influential minimalist advocates takes us on a decluttering tour of our own houses and apartments, showing us how to decide what to get rid of and what to keep. He both offers practical guidelines for simplifying our lifestyle at home and addresses underlying issues that contribute to overaccumulation in the first place.
The purpose is not just to create a more inviting living space. It's also to turn our life's HQ - our home - into a launching pad for a more fulfilling and productive life in the world.
Critic Reviews
“If you are already tapped into the minimalist movement or want to get more in-depth knowledge and know-how, this is the book for you! Joshua Becker takes you through all the benefits and strategies for creating your minimalist home, and he includes practical step-by-step tactics and checklists to create and maintain your spaces. Most importantly, you will gain a complete understanding of the value that minimalism brings to you and your family.” (Ellen R. Delap, certified professional organizer and productivity consultant; president of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals)
“Joshua Becker’s idea of minimalism is to create a comfortable, warm, inviting home that reflects what is most important to your family. The Minimalist Home is a great guide to help you define your vision and set your goals for how you want to live in your space. Joshua goes further than most authors to address pets, hobby areas, and outdoor spaces around the home. Throughout this book, he provides practical advice on how to keep family members engaged in the minimizing process now and in the future.” (Jacki Hollywood Brown, editor of Unclutterer.com)
“Joshua Becker is the best coach I know of when it comes to teaching the skill of decluttering. Not only will his calm, clear voice guide you through the challenging task of getting rid of belongings, but he will also make you feel fabulous for doing so. He does not shy away from tough topics such as downsizing homes, renting versus buying, and adjusting one’s lifestyle to fit a space. His enthusiasm is addictive; it’s impossible to read this book without tackling your own home - and then you won’t want to stop, because as your rooms open up, so will your entire world.” (Katherine Martinko, senior writer and editor of TreeHugger.com)

Must read
Must read if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the things in your house. As a SAHM I have lost countless hours cleaning/tidying up when I really just want to be with my kids and cooking and doing fulfilling duties. This book has been a great reminder to keep going as we really don’t need much to be happy and content. Less is definitely more

Easy to follow guide
I have been following Joshua Beckers face book page for awhile. It was great to listen to the book and work step by step through the house and think about what I wanted each room in our house to be like. Shifting my thinking to ‘do I need this’ and thinking through why I feel the need to keep all the stuff that has been handed down to me from my grandmother. It has been a relief to shed all the stuff we have been keeping out of some sense of ‘duty’, like some badly kept unorganised archive of our own past. The house feels more open, we do spend less time cleaning up and more time doing the things that we want to do. I no longer feel shame about how untidy the house is and I feel like I can invite people over at a moment’s notice. Minimalism has been liberating and Beckers book was an easy guide to it.

Stuff having Stuff
Knowing what’s happening to not only us but our future generations by holding onto stuff helps to let it go… and this book has got me hooked!

Another brilliant Decluttering book from Joshua Becker!
Absolutely Brilliant! This is the follow on from 'Becoming Minimalist'. I thought that was great but this is even better. This is a room by room guide on how to get rid of your stuff. I found this very helpful. I listen to this in the background and declutter at the same time. I like how Joshua is extremely specific.

A great way to personalize a space
Will relisten makes so much sense. I love the fact that everyone will have a different end outcome so it's personal to the individual.
