Love People, Not Things. A simple yet profound sentence. We ALL have too many things, from personal belongings to household items. Some of us are never satisfied unless we have the newest and latest "thing". Reading this book and the activities at the end of each chapter is an eye opening experience. This book is meant to be savored, not devoured. Once a section is read, if it speaks to you, wait, digest and try to act on it. Living and being like the Minimalists can strengthen our relationships with others, not "things. At the end of our lives, it doesn't matter what we have, but rather who we have in our life. This book is a great read for the young, I wish I had it early in my life. But with age comes wisdom and hopefully in addition to age, this book will help me minimize, not only physically (items in our life) but also minimize the emotional baggage we carry. Great Read!
