Book Review: The more of less

I didn't not like this book. It was a quick and enjoyable read. The book is written by the creator of a minimalist blog. I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book, but it didn't seem overly helpful. It made the idea of minimalism seem nice, but since I have already been wanting to get rid of my extra stuff that wasn't a high bar to reach. 

I think the problem with this book is that it isn't a book about how to be a minimalist; it is an autobiography about a man who became a minimalist. In his book he shares his personal stories and other stories he has come across, but there is very little practical advice. One chapter about halfway through the book gave a starting suggestion about getting rid of some of your stuff. 

Another book about minimalism I read recently was The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. Her book also shared many of her personal stories, but she also had a lot of actual advice. I didn't agree with it all, but it was at least there. The more of less doesn't have that, and I think without more actual methods or practical advice it isn't very useful of a book. 

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
