"Minimalism opens new doors to a less stressful, carefree lifestyle, which can give you an exceedingly positive outlook." ~ (Locations 361-63)Julia Green believes you should find meaning in life through experiences not through purchasing more things. She doesn't think that being in debt and feeling anxious all the time is a good recipe for happiness. In this book she explains the thinking process behinds minimalism.I agreed with most of the book but when the author said you don't need a down comforter I had to object. And avoiding sales racks - I get so many things I need on sale!Other ideas were more helpful like how to get rid of so many catalogs coming in the mail. Also there are some tips on how to save money on things you buy all the time.When I first started living with less I did give up things like my sewing machine, ice cream maker and most of my tupperware. I'd suggest you think very carefully about what you need to keep and what you don't want. You might regret giving some important things away if you are not careful. So that is my only warning.~The Rebecca Review
