About this ebook
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An empowering plan for living more by owning less, with practical suggestions and encouragement to personalize your own minimalist style—from the New York Times bestselling author of Uncluttered Faith
“If you’re struggling with too much stuff and too little happiness, here is your must-read.”—Peter Walsh, New York Times bestselling author of It’s All Too Much
Most of us own too much stuff. The toy room is messy, drawers won’t close, closets are overfilled, and we can’t fit our cars in the garage. Even worse, this constant accumulation of stuff slowly begins robbing us of life. It redirects our greatest passions and steals our greatest potential. And it distracts us from the very life we wish we were living.
One of today’s most influential minimalist advocates, Joshua Becker used to spend his days accumulating more and more. Then he realized how his possessions were not only failing to make him happy, but they were actually keeping him from the very things that do. In The More of Less, Joshua helps you…
• realize how all the stuff you own is keeping you from pursuing your dreams
• recognize why you buy more than you need
• discover greater contentment, less envy, and more joy
• experience the joys of generosity
• learn why the best part of minimalism isn’t a clean house; it’s a full life
It’s time to own your possessions instead of letting them own you. After all, the beauty of minimalism isn’t in what it takes away. It’s in what it gives.

Joshua Becker and his young family live in Peoria, AZ. In many ways, they are just your typical middle-class, suburban family--minus the dog and relentless pursuit of physical possessions.

More than just a de-cluttering book, "The More of Less" delves into the true freedom and enhanced meaning to life that come with minimizing our possessions and getting out of the insane race for more, more, more. There are few books that I can say have really enriched my life. This is one of them.
