This is the perfect book for me. I've always been intrigued by minimalism, and I've watched the exact Netflix documentary that they talk about in the first pages of the excerpt. What the author said about people being trapped by their possessions really resonated with me. As someone who has a lot of possessions and is trying to pare them down, I think this book would be very helpful to me in helping to change my mindset. Just like the author said, Americans like me are unused to minimalism, because we are used to consumerism. I'm going to need a lot of help if I'm going to change my lifestyle and learn how to let go of things that people say that I need but that I actually don't need. I will definitely be adding this book to my TBR list, and I look forward to reading the rest of the book.
