"Minimalism is a means to a bigger life, not a smaller one."

 

This quote from Joshua Becker is a good summary of the points he makes in his book, The Minimalist Home. In the book, minimalism is defined as "the intentional promotion of things we most value and the removal of anything that distracts us from them." 

Becker differentiates minimalism from organization. If you organize your possessions, you will eventually deal with those items again. If you minimize, then some items leave your house forever; you will not have to think about them again.  The author believes,  "there is more joy to be found in owning less than we can ever find in accumulating more."  

Nothing  spooky about that sentiment! Treat yourself to  our full book review .
