Don’t Settle for More
Most of us know we own too much stuff. We feel the weight and burden of our clutter, and we tire of cleaning and managing and organizing.
While excess consumption leads to bigger houses, faster cars, fancier technology, and cluttered homes, it never brings happiness. Rather, it results in a desire for more. It redirects our greatest passions to things that can never fulfill. And it distracts us from the very life we wish we were living.
Live a better life with less.
In The More of Less, Joshua Becker, helps you….
• recognize the life-giving benefits of owning less
• realize how all the stuff you own is keeping you from pursuing your dreams
• craft a personal, practical approach to decluttering your home and life
• experience the joys of generosity
• learn why the best part of minimalism isn’t a clean house, it’s a full life
The beauty of minimalism isn’t in what it takes away. It’s in what it gives.
Make Room in Your Life for What You Really Want
“Maybe you don’t need to own all this stuff.” After a casual conversation with his neighbor on Memorial Day 2008, Joshua Becker realized he needed a change. He was spending far too much time organizing possessions, cleaning up messes, and looking for more to buy.
So Joshua and his wife decided to remove the nonessential possessions from their home and life. Eventually, they sold, donated, or discarded over 60 percent of what they owned. In exchange, they found a life of more freedom, more contentment, more generosity, and more opportunity to pursue the things that mattered most.
The More of Less delivers an empowering plan for living more by owning less. With practical suggestions and encouragement to personalize your own minimalist style, Joshua Becker shows you why minimizing possessions is the best way to maximize life.
Are you ready for less cleaning, less anxiety, and less stress in your life? Simplicity isn’t as complicated as you think.
Joshua Becker and his young family were introduced to minimalism 6 years ago during a short conversation with their neighbor. Since then, Joshua’s story and writing have inspired millions around the world to find more life by owning fewer possessions. Today, based on his thoughtful and intentional approach to minimalism, he is one of the leading voices in the modern simplicity movement reaching over 1 million readers every month.
Joshua is the founder and editor of Becoming Minimalist, a website dedicated to intentional living that was named by SUCCESS Magazine as one of the top ten personal development websites in 2015.
He is also the Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Simplify and Clutterfree with Kids. He has contributed to articles in Time magazine, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Christianity Today. And he is a frequent guest on HuffPost Live and has appeared on numerous television programs, including the CBS Evening News.
He is also the Founder of The Hope Effect, a nonprofit organization changing how the world cares for orphans. Currently, he lives in Peoria, AZ with his wife and two young kids.
本书的作者是牧师,所提倡的断舍离也是从基督教的角度进行思考。跟《断舍离》相比,有几点新意: 一、”权宜之计“。割舍不下的物品,可以通过”权宜之计“的方法,先和物品隔离一段时间,再决定取舍。决定舍弃之前,也要拍照纪念,把遗憾减到最小。这也是西方”妥协“理念的一...
评分在读《极简》这本书前,我就已知道Becoming Minimalist这个网站了,而且也推荐给同事看过其中一篇题为Why Fewer Toys Will Benefit Your Kids(为何较少的玩具能使你的小孩获益)的文章,而且也有看与《极简》这本书内容较为重合的一部纪录片 Minimalism A Documentary About t...
评分我相信,会选择阅读《极简》这本书的人,大多不是闲来无事随便翻翻,因为它没在什么读书畅销榜里,也不是什么大咖推荐。选择它的人应该是带着一些目的的,或想要改变现有生活方式,或者就是当下一种“叛逆”,想要反其道而行,摒弃那些欧美奢华,等等。 我呢,要面临新房装修,...
评分去年“双十一”买回来的一大推书中有一本美国人乔舒亚•贝克尔写的《极简》。 这几天看完之后发现,这是一个极简主义者写的一本跟自己信仰背道而驰的书。350页内容就如一间塞满杂物垃圾的屋子,前100页和后70页鸡汤啰嗦重 复完全不必看,其余180页有用的也只有10%~20%。 ...
评分能从平淡无奇得生活中发现问题、分析问题并解决问题,是一个人一生所需的基本技能。但解决问题后并能将其分享出来造福他人,就是另外一种觉悟了。乔舒亚就属于后者。通过收拾自己的车库开始思考自己的人生,然后翻阅各种文献资料并结合自己的实践过程沉淀出一系列得可操作的方...
中文的版本看到后面如同食鸡肋,食之无味弃之可惜,遂找来英文版去读,发现了些许翻译的问题,勘误比书本身的内容要有意思多了...
评分一般。听完已退。
评分动机已经在了,再看为什么类的书就没什么收获
评分一般。听完已退。
评分已购。趁好早睡觉时读的。中文版名《极简》。作者为说服人们走极简生活的道路费了许多口舌,而就已经走上这条路的我而言,书里的废话实在太多。干活集中在第九章。其余,不如去看空无一物的房间那部日剧吧。。。
