Book Review

Book Summary: For The Only 127 Things You Need, author Donna Wilkinson spoke to more than fifty experts— authorities on the mind, the body, and the spirit—to discover the absolute essential “items” for living a good life. Ever wish you could strip you life down to just the bare essentials—that you could “de-clutter” not just the physical items littering your home but the endless “to-do” lists flooding your mind? But what to throw away? And what to keep? For so many of us, it’s hard to move forward with the important things in life without first “paring down” and “straightening up.” With this complete guide to life’s essentials, it will finally be possible to see the forest for all those trees.

I heard about this book from a minimalist blog I subscribe to. I was excited that the library had a copy. I have to say, I don't know why I try and read "self help" type books. I usually don't enjoy them, and this one was no different. It was probably one of the worst books I've read in a while. It not useful at all. I thought about not finishing it, but I had already invested time in it and I decided to finish it. I was glad to return this book to the library.
