The More of Less

De: Joshua Becker

Narrado por: Joshua Becker

Most of us know we own too much stuff. We feel the weight and burden of our clutter, and we tire of cleaning and managing and organizing. While excess consumption leads to bigger houses, faster cars, fancier technology, and cluttered homes, it never brings happiness. Rather, it results in a desire for more. It redirects our greatest passions to things that can never fulfill, and it distracts us from the very lives we wish we were living. But it doesn't have to be this way.

In The More of Less, Joshua Becker helps you:

• Recognize the life-giving benefits of owning less
• Realize how all the stuff you own is keeping you from pursuing your dreams
• Craft a personal, practical approach to decluttering your home and life
• Experience the joys of generosity
• Learn why the best part of minimalism isn't a clean house; it's a full life

It's time to own your possessions instead of letting them own you. After all, the beauty of minimalism isn't in what it takes away. It's in what it gives.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"I'm so inspired by this wise, timely book!" (Shauna Niequist, author of Bread & Wine)

Good Info, but Needs Different Narrator

the information offered in the book is good. however the authors should have chosen someone else to narrate this work. The author's narration is extremely aggravating because he tends to drop the last syllable of most sentences,

Great listen

I enjoyed hearing the author read this book. You can feel his passion. He simplifies and gives you permission to view minimalism in a way that benefits you

perfect

perfect timing ...I really needed this book was gifted it at the perfect time. I was finally ready :)

Great guide to learning how to live with less.

This was an inspiring book on living with less and giving back to society. It gives you was to save money and resources, removing the clutter from your life and living more simply without all the stress from having too much stuff.

Nothing I hadn't Known Already

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would say that this book could be dropped by an hour of time. The message does make sense and if you are already a clean person and view yourself as a investor as oppose to a consumer you probably wouldn't need to listen to this book. If for some reason you are the person who can't throw things away and find yourself buying things constantly you could probably benefit from this book.

Life changing.

Becker's obviously not the first to write on this topic, but this book is clear, well written, with step by step instructions on how not to be overwhelmed by the early tasks of reducing the clutter. He also includes motivation on why to replace all that stuff and its maintenance with service to others.

Great Read! Everyone can benefit from this book.

Organizer

Excellent book on organization. I learned very practical tips that I practice daily. This book is strongly recommended 😊!

Wonderful Guidebook

This book leads by example. The author / narrator writes of his family’s journey to a rich, fulfilling life free of the items that tie so much of us down. Through letting go of the material items and time consumers, he and his wife and children are living a life of purpose and joy.
What a delight to read and/or hear the many anecdotes and suggestions presented with eloquence and grace. This is the best book I’ve found on the subject of downsizing and living with purpose.
