Clutter impacts on our productivity, stresses us out and keeps us stuck. Why do we let our stuff stand in the way of the lives we dream about?

Decluttering is great for our mental wellbeing, and when done right, it can be good for the planet too. When we rehome, repurpose or recycle the things we no longer need, we free up existing resources for others and reclaim our homes with less guilt.

Less Stuff is a guide for people who find it difficult to declutter and who don't want to see things go to waste. Step by step, you'll explore finding your 'enough', learn how to let go of your old possessions without sending them to landfill, and eventually break the cycle of stuff. The end result is a planet with less strain, a home with more peace and a life with more meaning.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Changed My Life
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021
Verified Purchase
I borrowed this book from the library, originally judging it (positively) by its cover, and I read it in late February, 2020. The timing was perfect, because I had six weeks off work shortly afterwards, and I was able to tackle decades of accumulated "treasures." I've saved far too many items in my life, and I learned valuable, pragmatic strategies for working through my struggles. The chapters are manageable and enticingly short, and there isn't a lot of unnecessary filler. After reading the book twice, listening to the audio book twice, and recommending it to dozens of friends, I finally committed to buying my own copy--in part, so I can lend it to others.

I appreciated the acknowledgement of differing timelines for different people, and also sensitively addressing the psychology of letting possessions go. While using the methods in this book to declutter, I listened to three other organizing/decluttering books by different authors, but I found all three to be unrealistic, and lacking compassion.

I'm still working towards achieving and maintaining my goal, and the process has been enjoyable and rewarding. As a bonus, I have an increased awareness of how my choices and purchases affect the environment, which is something I hadn't seriously considered prior to this experience. If you have a lot of stuff, and feel--as I did--a change is necessary, this book is a wonderful place to start.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay Book
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2023
This was just okay for me. It included a lot of basic information that I knew already. The step by step guide would be good for people who don't know where to begin. I found this just to be a lot of information I already knew though so it was boring to me.

Many Americans are not as aware of Lindsay Miles as they should be. However, she is well known in Australia as a person who has been on a path to simply her life, first in small ways - like most of us do: clean out extra clothes, toys, books. But Lindsay doesn't stop at simplifying. Instead, that is the beginning of a path toward recognizing new ways we can live in harmony with the earth. She does not shove these ideas down your throat. On the contrary, she lays out ideas one can follow and its up to you to decide where on the spectrum of living in harmony with the earth you want to be. I will never get to the point Lindsay is, because I started on this path as I entered my sixties; not my thirties, and I see no point in getting rid of some of the things we own. However, we can change the kind of gifts we give to the little folks in our lives and any other purchases we make from this point forward. Lindsay is just a thoughtful, quality human being on her blog and that is only magnified in her book. This is just excellent -- would make a great Christmas gift for twentysomethings who are making decisions about their lifestyles.

Great references and a very strategic plan. I love the step by step instructions and how each chapter is about one room.

This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to begin their journey toward simplifying their life through less stuff. Lindsay’s easy, conversational manor of writing will keep you engaged as she takes you through the process of paring down with humor and sound advice - helping you find your level of comfort on the minimalist scale. The sections within this book are short, keeping the anxiety level low while raising the feeling of accomplishment with each step. I highly recommend this book for anyone that is ready to make the freeing change to a simpler life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Detailed Starter Guide
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2020

In the spirit of full disclosure, I’ve been reading the authors blog for a few years now and have always enjoyed her writing so I’m unsurprised that I enjoyed this book. If you are well practiced in both minimalism and sustainability this book will probably be a review of things you already know. If you are just starting your journey, this is a great book bc the author really goes step by step, room by room and provides a great structure to build off of. It helps get over the overwhelm hurdle that comes with making change.
