The Minimalist Home

The Minimalist Home by Joshua Becker is the latest nonfiction book I read.  It is just as good as The More of Less, but definitely more specific on how to make your home a place where you want to be but not encumbered by stuff.  Chapter by chapter he talks about how to get your home in order so you can do the things you want to do instead of spending so much time taking care of your possessions.  At the end of each chapter, Becker gives step by step directions to take care of each part of the house.  Then he has a minimizing checklist.

A few quotes I liked from the book are

• Be remembered for the life you lived, not the things you bought.
• It is better to do stuff than to have stuff.
• You don't need more space.  You need less stuff.
