Shockingly, we spend nearly half our day repeating things we've done in the past without thinking about them. How we respond to the people around us; the way we conduct ourselves in meetings; what we buy; when and how we exercise, eat and drink – a truly remarkable number of things we do every day, we do by habit. And yet, whenever we want to change something about ourselves, we rely on willpower alone. We hope that our determination and intention will be enough to effect positive change.

If you're relying on willpower alone to help you lose weight, improve your relationships or achieve more at work, you're doomed to fail. The environment around us is far too powerful, stimulating, addicting and stressful to overcome it through sheer determination. Willpower, grit, being positive - basically, all the tools you've been told are the keys to creating lasting change in your life - are insufficient in this high-paced, information-overloaded world we live in.

While it is human nature to shy away from things that are outside of our comfort zone, it is only by spending time in our discomfort zone that we can grow, and improve, and realise our full potential. Whether it's putting yourself forward for a new challenge, asking for difficult feedback, nailing a presentation or getting a dream job, in this book Farrah Storr shows how you have to push through what she calls 'brief moments of discomfort' in order to get to where you need to be. Farrah describes these brief moments of discomfort as 'like HIIT training for your life' - and shows how the more you force yourself into them, the easier it will get.

Becoming A Minimalist Produces Freedom.
I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The 'minimalist way' really is a better way of life. Why? Because the level of stress which is created as a result of having a clutter-filled life is overwhelming. Many people believe that if they don't let go of something, or if they take on more responsibilities and activities, they will find fulfilment in their lives. Over here in Western civilization we seem to be fascinated with high number rates e.g. how much... how long etc. At the end of the day we need to realise, when we really think about it, that we don't really need most of the things which we have in our lives. If you as the listener, are struggling in this area then you need to purchase this book. It will help you to gain clarity.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!
This book gave such tangible actionable steps that are applicable in work, home, with family, your belongings and life in general. I listened to it 2x back to back just to hear it all again. This book is NOT about living in a house with one chair in it, its about finding what matters to you and making room for more of that and less of what doesn't matter. Bravo!

A minimalism guide for "Lean In" fans
From the pretentious sounding narrator to the sanctimonious writing, I felt like I was being lectured to by an out of touch, upper-middle stay at home mom whose struggle was "not" real. Even as a $1.95 Daily Deal, I feel cheated.

Minimalism. Lives up to its Title
This audiobook is OK, It's not groundbreaking, in any way. The title claims 2 things - 1) Minimalism strategies to declutter your life., and 2) Make room for Joy. Unfortunately, these are not so much strategies as they are tips for minimalism. I found a few that work for me, but I didn't find anything revolutionary or amazing. The 2nd part of the subtitle promises to help you "make room for joy" and there are some tips that are designed to help you experience a little more joy in your life, but really, this part of the subtitle is underdelivered. There was not enough relating to why you would be more joyful if you were more of a minimalist. If you find this on sale and you are new to the subject, go for it. If you have already read a few other books on the subject, minimize your purchases and skip this one.

I like that it's short and get to the point. The most of the content is something I use to live already but it was nice to hear it again and also to find some new things to think about. I liked the narrator too that I believe did a good job to create the right tone for this book.

Quick Read-Listen And Worth The Time
Erica Layne is a minimalist. Not much else to say. She lives life fully - just with less stuff. This book goes hand in hand with Essentialism by Greg McKeown. Both are good reads. I don't think I can get into Erica's scoring system for clothing, closets, etc. but I do embrace many of her thoughts and ideas. I found this read a beneficial use of my time.

Best book I've read on this topic
This is truly the first review I have EVER written, but felt this book deserved my time to do so. What I loved, or appreciated most, was the attention at addressing the realities of adopting this type of lifestyle and why its worth it. She superbly addresses the nuts and bolts as well the emotional and spiritual side of living authentically, in alignment with your values. The entire book spoke to my heart and gave me a clearer, deeper understanding of why I want to invest time and effort toward this way of being. I loved all the practical "tools and techniques" she offered to make this do-able. I listened all the way through, now I'll go back at a slower pace, working the stuff, doing the assignments and adopting these principles. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the BEST $2 I ever spent!!!!

Sadly Bereft of Original Thoughts or Perspectives
This reads like the author spent a couple of months reading most of what's out there on Minimalism and decluttering, and then regurgitated it, borrowing ideas and even structure from everyone else, and adding basically nothing of her own. Don't get me wrong, one of my favorite books on this topic is Fumio Sasaki's "Goodbye Things," which itself adds almost nothing new to the topic, but I found his approach, personal story, and writing amusing and clever, so it was okay. Given the good reviews, I suppose there are those who feel the same about this attempt by Erica Layne, or maybe it is their first book on the topic, and she does hit most of the major points, but from the beginning it sounded blatantly derivative and self-important, an effect enhanced by the deep vocal fry of the Narrator, who otherwise does a reasonably decent job.
