This book is thought provoking and timely to get you thinking about what is important in your life。 The book provides exercises to encourage the reader to explore ways to dig deeper to find what matters most to you so you can live a meaningful and intentional life。 I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher。

Joshua Becker had written several books about minimalism over the last decade as well as a blog and Facebook page。 I have enjoyed all of those and was curious as to whether this new book would live up to my expectations。 It has。 This new offering provides readers with in-depth information that I had been looking for to answer “what now？” After arriving at my perfect place of minimalism （and it is an ongoing lifestyle） I was needing more。 This book answered that for me。 It provides clear info on Joshua Becker had written several books about minimalism over the last decade as well as a blog and Facebook page。 I have enjoyed all of those and was curious as to whether this new book would live up to my expectations。 It has。 This new offering provides readers with in-depth information that I had been looking for to answer “what now？” After arriving at my perfect place of minimalism （and it is an ongoing lifestyle） I was needing more。 This book answered that for me。 It provides clear info on why we may be fearful of the next step， assists in working through that and even how to figure out what that next step could be。 As with Joshua’s other books， this， too， is like having a conversation with a friend。 Easy and open dialogue。 I highly recommend this book 。。。more

A good overview of things in life that easily， and often unknowingly， distract us from living a life that’s intentional…a life that will lead to fewer regrets when it ends。 I particularly enjoyed the parts that drove home a truth we all probably know on some level- that serving others above ourselves ultimately leads to more happiness！

Joshua Becker has been writing about minimalism and intentional living for over 10 years。 He has written on his blog as well as several previous books and I have followed him most of that time。 This book expands beyond minimizing possessions to the important topic of living an intentional， meaningful life。 He shows that minimizing possessions is a means， not an end in itself。 He also writes about the distractions of life， such as leisure， possessions， money， technology and happiness， which can h Joshua Becker has been writing about minimalism and intentional living for over 10 years。 He has written on his blog as well as several previous books and I have followed him most of that time。 This book expands beyond minimizing possessions to the important topic of living an intentional， meaningful life。 He shows that minimizing possessions is a means， not an end in itself。 He also writes about the distractions of life， such as leisure， possessions， money， technology and happiness， which can hinder people from pursuing their higher purposes。 The book has chapters that take a deep dive in each of these areas to help the reader reduce some of these distractions。 The final chapter is encouragement to discover the meaning and purpose in the reader's live and then pursue that。 As someone who is on the path to living in a simpler way and trying to find more meaning in life， I very much enjoyed this book。 I recommend it to anyone who is feeling overwhelmed in any aspect of their lives for good ideas of how to reduce is and do more of what they want。 I received a complementary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley。 。。。more
