I have been following Joshua’s blog and newsletter, Becoming Minimalist for years. When I saw that he wrote this book, I knew I had to read it. Although there are many mentions of his faith, it is not a religious book.

There are many Aha moments throughout. I found myself highlighting many sentences in the book repeatedly. The main message in the book is to live without regrets. He does not push the minimalist message, but it makes sense that if you have less, you will worry less, clean less, and spend less. This leaves more time to live. As I write this review, I am aware of previous things that distracted me from writing and habits that affected my quality of life. I have a plan for making the changes permanent and already started implementing some. If you need a gentle push to show you how to make permanent changes to your way or thinking about yourself or the things that you do, this is an excellent book.
