    About this audiobook

    Drowning in tides of toys, overflowing closets, and a crazy schedule, Rachelle Crawford assumed you had to be naturally organized to keep a tidy living space. Then she found minimalism: the messy, real-life kind, that is less about perfection and more about purpose. Thus began a journey toward decluttering her home, calendar, and soul.

    With empathy, grace, and humor, Crawford-who curates the popular Abundant Life with Less site-shares doable ways to own less and live more fully. Laying out practical strategies for reducing waste, curbing consumption, decluttering, and finding lots more joy, Crawford offers no-nonsense solutions for the rest of us. Learn to become a more conscious consumer, create a capsule wardrobe, inspire family members to join you, free up more time for the things that matter, and create a tidy(ish) home. The messy minimalist way is a no-judgment zone, one in which we learn sustainable habits and grace-based practices. It's about living lightly on the earth and making room for purpose.

    Becoming a messy minimalist is not about turning into someone else; it's about clearing away clutter and expectations to unearth who you really are. It's about carrying fewer things so that we find ourselves holding onto what truly matters.

      “For the rest of us” … if you’re a Christian and/or don’t mind the author attributing (and I do mean everything) to God. I tried. Too cringey.

    • 5/5
      In a way I was a minimalist without much intention ( we live in europe:)) )but this book has shown me I can be more. It had some grest ideas that you won’t find in youtube minimalist videos. I listened to it in a few days while doing chores and It was an easy and pleasant lecture. Good and realistic ideas about decluttering life and sctually enjoying becoming a minimalist, minus the perfectionism stress.
