The Joy of Less is a fun, lighthearted guide to minimalist living. Part One provides an inspirational pep talk on the joys and rewards of paring down. Part Two presents the STREAMLINE method: ten easy steps to rid your house of clutter. Part Three goes room by room, outlining specific ways to tackle each one. Part Four helps you trim your to-do list and free up your time, and explains how saving space in your closets can save the planet.
Francine Jay started blogging about minimalist living in 2009 and has published over 100,000 copies of her three books, Frugillionaire, The Joy of Less, and Miss Minimalist. Francine is a minimalist and describes “being a minimalist isn’t only about white walls and empty spaces. It’s about eliminating the distractions that keep us from fully appreciating life” on her website, MissMinimalist.com.
