The Minimalist Home: A Room-by-Room Guide to a Decluttered, Refocused Life – Joshua Becker

The Minimalist Home: A Room-by-Room Guide to a Decluttered, Refocused Life takes you as the reader through various spaces within your home with an eye focused on simplicity.  Minimizing check lists and critical questions to aid the process are included at the end of each chapter.  Becker believes that no one needs more space just less stuff.  Although I strive to have a well-organized and tidy home, I am in no way a minimalist.  That said, I did find this book interesting and even discovered a few helpful tips.
