Inside-Out Simplicity

I wanted to like this book, but I didn t I have a lot of respect for Joshua Becker, and I believe he sincerely meant everything in this book to be good, friendly advice for what he truly thinks is the best way to live Unfortunately, it still comes across as preachy and self righteous And then he launches into a few of my pet peeves put others before yourself, selfishness is bad, pour yourself out in service I m sure there are people in this world who need to be told that, but for all the people [...]

I liked this book a lot Some reviewers said it was preachy I thought it was encouraging I highlighted lots of quotes including this one, which I love Your life is far too valuable to be wasted on the life that everyone else is choosing 3 3 If you need a boost out of a rut I recommend this book.

Another short little book, focused on mental emotional simplicity minimalism A little preachy, but worth the read.

I didn t find anything new in this book I implemented all the suggestions years ago Then I got to the God chapter and gave up on it.

Perhaps too brief, but a useful beginner s guide to living a good life Will probably read again, and use as a road map for further research and development.

High level adviceEasy to read, as blog post collection books usually are, but light on nitty gritty implementation details A good high level overview on what someone new to the concept of simplicity should think about Spending two chapters pushing his strong personal stance on sex, marriage and God religion detracted from the message of acceptance as necessary to achieving simplicity.

This book follows what counselors have you learn in individual sessions Living a simple life is important to be happy Things don t make us happy We need to love our lives and be ok with routine lives If we all take even a couple things from this book we would all be happier This is written in a very simple text Easy to read and understand It complements the book Simplify, which teaches how to make your life easier.

Thoroughly enjoyed this e book Most of the information I already know and do, but I still enjoy reading these types of book They are added inspiration and I always pick up tidbits I didn t know before.

Awesome bookThis was a book that spoke to my heart, I have always felt everyone could survive with less stuff and luv for man kind, we need to share with the less fortunate I recommend this book to everyone rich or poor.

A good place to startThis ease read not only sets out a map to living with less stuff but also forces the reader to reflect on their intentions.

I found this book to be average Nothing terribly new.

Although the views and notes and suggestions are nothing new, his bold and introspective writing style is to die for However, 67% of the content inside is freely available on hos blog.

Some ideas were too simply stated that they simply became untrue But a lot of the general notions and framework were good starting places to think about how to center and consolidate your life.

Good, quick read that felt appropriate for the holiday season There are a few passages I didn t agree with, but they are short.
