"If you are already tapped into the minimalist movement or want to get more in-depth knowledge and know-how, this is the book for you! Joshua Becker takes you through all the benefits and strategies for creating your minimalist home, and he includes practical step-by-step tactics and checklists to create and maintain your spaces. Most importantly, you will gain a complete understanding of the value that minimalism brings to you and your family."
--Ellen R. Delap, certified professional organizer and productivity consultant; president of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals
"Joshua Becker's idea of minimalism is to create a comfortable, warm, inviting home that reflects what is most important to your family.
The Minimalist Home is a great guide to help you define your vision and set your goals for how you want to live in your space. Joshua goes further than most authors to address pets, hobby areas, and outdoor spaces around the home. Throughout this book, he provides practical advice on how to keep family members engaged in the minimizing process now and in the future."
--Jacki Hollywood Brown, editor of Unclutterer.com
"Joshua Becker is the best coach I know of when it comes to teaching the skill of decluttering. Not only will his calm, clear voice guide you through the challenging task of getting rid of belongings, but he will also make you feel fabulous for doing so. He does not shy away from tough topics such as downsizing homes, renting versus buying, and adjusting one's lifestyle to fit a space. His enthusiasm is addictive; it's impossible to read this book without tackling your own home--and then you won't want to stop, because as your rooms open up, so will your entire world."

--Cait Flanders, author of
The Year of Less
"With his signature optimistic and encouraging writing style, Joshua provides a valuable, practical road map for those who are hoping to declutter their homes and take control of their lives."
--Katie Wells, founder of WellnessMama.com
"The result of reading and implementing
The Minimalist Home together as a family is a household filled with fewer distractions and better conversations. Having fewer barriers between us, our family is now sharing more stories and laughs. We've learned that we don't need more things from the store; we need more of each other in our lives. And this book is the guide that got us there."
--Marc and Angel Chernoff, New York Times best-selling authors of Getting Back to Happy
"It's a bit ironic that I'm recommending you acquire one more thing to explore living more fully by owning less: Joshua Becker's book
The Minimalist Home. But I am. It's exactly what we all need--a slim read that's packed with all-new information, authentic stories, and tried-and-true solutions to life's relentless clutter. Joshua speaks candidly (and personally!) about the challenge of expanding our lives by minimizing our stuff.
The Minimalist Home earns every inch. Can you say that about everything else in your home?"
--Mary Kay Buysse, executive director of National Association of Senior Move Managers
"Since 2005 I have been following in Brazil the growth of people's interest in trying to live in a simpler, more practical, and more organized manner. Joshua's clear, instructive book innovatively shows how minimalism can transform the way we live in our homes, increasing our quality of life. I recommend it as essential reading for everyone."
--José Luiz Cunha, entrepreneur; founder of OZ! Organize Your Life; and creator of Personal Organizer Brazil, the largest event in Latin America for professional organizers
"This book breaks down the decluttering process into easy-to-follow steps. An essential read for any aspiring minimalist!"
