Vanessa Pagan’s book, “A Simple Guide to Minimalism,” is exactly what the title infers - a simple guide. Pagan does an excellent job explaining all the different aspects of minimalism and how someone can start living a minimalistic lifestyle. I appreciated that she does not expound and preach about how great and wonderful this lifestyle is, blah, blah, blah, like many advocates of alternate lifestyles tend to do. Pagan is straightforward and realistic, letting readers know that this type of lifestyle is not for everyone. I finished reading her book having a good understand of minimalism and an appreciation for Pagan’s view of this different way of living. I was surprised at how tempted I was to live a minimalistic lifestyle, but am not sure I could really do it. If you have ever entertained the thought of becoming a minimalist, read this book! Even if you haven’t, it will give you an appreciation for this unique way of life.
