Great book!
Each day I started reading, I couldn't wait to put it down to get rid of stuff. This book prompts action. The idea that less stuff means you will be happier and have more time in your life spoke to me! Love this book. I just read it and plan on reading again and again to help me emotionally get rid of stuff and to stop emotionally shopping for things I don't need. This book has already paid for itself.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

helps to make home run harmoniously
This book cuts to the chase of "how to de-clutter" without feeling deprived. She describes the effect of doing so and how that makes a smooth-running and "great to live in" house. . The chapters are short (quick to read if reading time is short, or a dose of motivation is needed!), and written with humor. It covers not just the rooms in the house but also the attic, basement, and garage. It gives ideas on how to keep the main part of the home tidy by getting the whole family into the idea of how to be neat. The idea of using what she calls "Modules" is right on. Definitely worth the purchase and read of this book!!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Insightful and Compelling
Extremely helpful for anyone who wants to take back their home and life from the consumer society we live in. The Joy of Less teaches you to be happy with what you want and need and to get rid of the things you done, while simultaneously helping you to prevent the further buildup of stuff. 10/10, would recommend to anyone.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Many useful hints
The book is a comprehensive guide for people like me who are dealing with an overwhelming amount of stuff in and around your house. It has a good structure, reads like a novel and doesn't just tell you what you can do, but motivates you to do what you need to do. I highly recommend this book and would be even more frantic about it, if it was printed where it was written.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Okay Title.
Could use some photos or illustrations. Would be nice without yellow printing, kinda hard to see. Bigger print would also help to read text better.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
