FWIW, I read the printed paper edition, not the Kindle edition as Goodreads has it. It is more useful than might be expected for a magazine special issue, and rivals some of the decluttering and organising books in useful content. I also appreciated the holistic approach to the wellbeing benefits of 'less', including not only decluttering possessions but also intangibles such as email, and maintaining household appliances in order to replace them less often, etc.

a nice primer on life

I think this balanced sharing information that was useful without being overwhelming. I am not a fan of heavy hitting books that push for one way of doing things or are intensely philosophical or religious and this was a nice balance. Succinct articles and often easy to integrate into your life.

I enjoyed the visuals of this book along with the tips for minimalism. The topic was definitely something I enjoy reading about. This read felt more like a lengthy magazine than a traditional book.
