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.

But it doesn't have to be this way. 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


    • 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.

        The best things in life are not things, says a spokesperson of the minimalist movement whose handbook shows how to get rid of the stuff that keeps you from pursuing your dreams. Joshua Becker is an earnest speaker who articulates every syllable and tries to make every point clear, but his determination sounds altruistic and appealing. It's a performance and message that will prompt people to take some steps. The simplicity he advocates is not about deprivation; it's about recognizing that too many possessions can corrupt our spiritual journey, our quest to have a full life. Referencing the teachings of Jesus, he says that simplicity's rewards are not in what we discard but in what we gain--the awakened life we'll have when we shed the clutter in our living space that bogs us down.

        Future generations may well view the present day in the U.S. as an era of acquisition, Becker writes, in which new cars and new electronic devices are pursued with a passion that can leave the purchaser with a hollow sense of unfulfillment. In this delightful little book, Becker considers the movement known as voluntary simplicityâan effort to convince our consumerist society to scale down and find ways to be happier with fewer possessionsâand takes it a step further, incorporating Christian spirituality into minimalism: a way of shedding the excess in our lives and "finding freedom to pursue the things that matter most to you." Friends, family, and faith all factor into his unique approach to getting rid of the possessions that weigh one down, opening new avenues of meaningful exploration into the deeper, more sacred depths of being. With action plans, lists, and appeals to the reader's quiet nature, Becker successfully presents a well-rounded argument that a journey toward minimalism is possible and even enjoyable. Any Christian seeking the path of material simplicity will find this volume both valuable and informative.
