As a fan of Minimalism, I found your reviews very insightful, and I’m grateful for your suggestions. I now have more titles I want to read! I hope you’ll check out my new novel The Minimalist, now available on Amazon.

I love reading about minimalism, but I’m not sure if I’m ready to go all-in just yet. I’ll definitely be checking out some of these books!

Thank you so much for this, I recently got interested in looking into Minimalism so this list helped a lot.

Its always interesting to read someone else’s list of favorites, and nots. I love Courtney Carver’s Soulful Simplicity, and am currently working through Project 333 but not enjoying it near as much. Shrug.
I didn’t get much out of “Essentialism”, but found “The Year of Less” to be encouraging. I do agree on “Good-bye Things” though, so you’re not alone in that one.
The book that started me on the minimalist journey isn’t even mentioned here – “7” by Jen Hatmaker. Admittedly, it comes from a Christian perspective, so that might keep some from being interested. It was a completely new concept to me when I read it, and 5 years later I’m still happy I did.

In reply to Anonymous. I might have to try the audiobook. I feel like everyone who loves this book did the audiobook version, and I know the images of empty rooms affected my perspective when I read the physical book. Thanks so much for sharing your opinion!

I also listened to audio version of the book (twice) and was surprised to see Rachael’s review above. This book has great perspective, and offers a great kick start and inspiration …I did not hear a message about living without things… he calls for owning only those things that you truly use regularly and at the quality/features levels you truly need. He shared his story on how his life has changed, his experience and gains from the transformation. I found his book very competent on the subject, sincere, philosophical yet realistic, and thought provoking.

In reply to Rachael. Have you even read “goodbye things? Wow. Shallow much? Try the audiobook. You’ve clearly missed the point.

That’s a nice compilation. I’ll use your recommendations to avoid unnecessary books, thanks!

I’m curious. How do you square buying so many physical copies with a minimalist lifestyle :)?
