NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Turn your home into a place of peace, contentment, and purposeful living with the beloved author of The More of Less and Uncluttered Faith. “A valuable, practical road map for those who are hoping to declutter their homes and take control of their lives.”—Katie Wells, founder of Wellness Mama Do you want to declutter your home, but you don’t know where to start? One of today’s most influential minimalism advocates takes us on a decluttering tour of our own houses and apartments, showing us what to get rid of, what to keep—and why it matters. With step-by-step ideas and inspiring stories, Joshua explains . . . • how clutter creates stress • how having less stuff gives you more time, energy, and money • why minimizing is more valuable than organizing • how our culture conditions us to buy more and more • what serving others has to do with consuming less From the kitchen to the garage to the bathroom, The Minimalist Home teaches you how to keep only those things with purposes that align with your life purpose. Because with less clutter, you can be more you. Read more

When you move from 5,000 sq ft to 1,100 sq ft, you need this book! He makes decluttering logical and somewhat fun instead of really depressing and frustrating after I read Peter Walsh’s books. I am now actually loving the process and getting rid of “stuff” without over-analyzing and being depressed. Terrific book and writer - I definitely recommend.

Joshua Becker writes a great book that is helpful to anyone looking at uncluttering their lives. He is not a one way is the only way type of guy, but gives great wisdom and advise, along with many ideas of how to move closer to what you really want in life. Establishing goals at the beginning is such a helpful step. Then throughout the book, he takes you from room to room, easiest areas to more difficult, and encourages you on how to evaluate items in your home. You should either trash it, sell it or give it away or keep it for a needed and useful purpose. What a pleasure it can be to finally get to the time of giving items away to others in need, rather than just hoarding it in my closet or corner of the house. And when you finally finish the book and your home (including the garage and outdoor space), you will have a cleaner home, fewer items to maintain, and hopefully more time with the people you love. I highly recommend this book!

I went back and forth between three and four stars... When i preordered The Minimalist Home, i received an email with a free step-by-step guide so i could get started using the ideas before the book arrived. I did that, and found the free materials quite useful. I especially liked the tip to clear off flat surfaces, which worked well for me. But i was disappointed when the book arrived to find little content that wasn't already in the free materials. I had expected photos, for example, of the author's house, with before-and-after room photos, but there aren't any. I would like to see those, and maybe diagrams showing how to reconfigure rooms...More inspirational stuff. For a second edition, i would suggest: First, more recognition that not everyone is starting with a big house, a spouse, and children. For example, in my condo, it is a struggle to create enough storage for what i really need, and i have no basement or attic or extra closets. Also, since i live alone, i can make any room what i want it to be; realized recently that my dining room could become my craft-making room! Second, more emphasis on recycling, upcycling, and repurposing. Environmentally friendly solutions, throwing away as a last resort.

I came across Joshua Becker a couple of years ago, and have been following him ever since. I find him very inspirational, and also hilarious! To my surprise, I've been able to give my husband the "minimalist" bug as well! This is a work in progress, but we have let go of so much of what we used to value and collect at one time in our life. I thought it was very generous of Joshua to offer packets of free downloads to get a head start before his book actually shipped. I loved them! I still keep the print outs in a folder as I go about my minimizing! We have literally thrown away so much clutter and we love the clarity that it's replaced with. We are also inspired to think twice before we purchase, which for me, was one of the main things that attracted me to this lifestyle. Careful spending rather than careless. We only purchase things that we love, or things we will use. I think Joshua is helpful when describing the unproductive guilt that comes with "sentimental" items ... or (burdens in some cases) :). Those items are not where the memories reside... as per Joshua, and I couldn't agree more. This type of clutter brings a heaviness, a darkness, and never allows you to live in the moment, therefore stealing the gift of life that's given to us now. I often put a video of Joshua up and listen as I get busy clearing out another space. We really appreciate his work, and his ministry!

Joshua Becker gives a fluid process and well thought out approach to clearing out what is not needed in our homes. Getting back to what matters in our homes will open up opportunities in our lives. I have found this to be true in my life as I have been cleaning out what is not necessary in my life and home. I got a new job and moving was easier thanks to clearing out the excess.

For me, transforming my home from an overwhelmingly cluttered space to a minimalist home is a journey. When my husband and I moved into our home, we had only one child and not much stuff. The space was light and airy and cleaning up took no time at all. Now, several kids and almost 20 years later our clutter collection has taken a toll on the serenity of our home and I can use any help I can get. I have been paring down my own belongings for a while now, This book helps keeps me on track and I am finally seeing results. Even our kids have pitched in. Joshua Becker's statistics about the cost of our consumerism that can be found throughout the book are very sobering. He shows the reader how a minimalist mindset can set free money and time to be used in more meaningful ways than in unnecessary purchases or frantic searches for the car keys. He inspires me to use up or get rid of surplus in my home, Today I looked at my cleaning supplies. It turns out that I have enough laundry detergent and all purpose cleaner to last for more than a year (got it on sale) and I hope my vacuum will hold up long enough to use my collection of 24 vacuum bags (yes, got them on sale)! I am not proud that it has come to this but now I will make it a game to use it all up, As I said, it is a journey. This book gets me closer to my goal. Surprisingly, I am starting to see light at the end of the tunnel, There are areas in my home where I find lasting progress. My kitchen is much more efficient. Looking at Joshua Becker's list of essential kitchen items made me purge my kitchen drawers and cabinets once more and now I have plenty counter space to prepare my meals. My closet is getting to a point that I love all my clothes, There are no cosmetics strewn around in the bathroom and my bedroom is looking much better. The only side effect I have from reading this book is that aimless shopping or "bargain hunting" has become very boring and cleaning my home is is actually fun again. Most importantly, I am forced to ponder about what I really want from life and how I can spend more quality time with family and friends.

I have been on a declutter/minimalist journey for two years, and this book helped reinforce the reasoning for it, the practical steps and the maintenance of it. I appreciate that JB is a Christian. I, also, follow Jesus and want to please God in all areas of my life (including my stuff). With my experience of Christianity, you have the human and spiritual side of you in conflict often times. I have found that when I feel discontent or bored that buying stuff feels good, but I also acknowledge how fleeting that joy is in compariston true joy from Christ. That’s why I bought this book. I needed the reaffirmation of what I already knew: stuff doesn’t equal happiness. When I’m dead and gone, I want to “be thanked for” something eternally impacting on people to the glory of Him. Easy to say but not always easy to live out. Another great Christian minismalist is Erin Loechner (book is Chasing Slow) and she reminds us to not idolize minimalism because true joy will not be found in less stuff either. So in short, the Sunday school answer is “we need the word of God” daily to feel fulfilled. Sorry for the sermon as I’m mainly preaching to myself.
