Much as we may resist the idea of "less," it offers us the freedom of letting go and fully enjoying life. This thoughtful and surprising book shows us how to get there, by paring down not just the jumble of things around us, but the clutter in our heads, too. A one-year plan for downsizing is included here, alongside suggestions for how to appreciate the little things in our "bigger is better" world. Also included here are a one-thought-a-day diary; posters that depict a beautiful picture of what it means to do less, not more; and a foldout tiny house to let you imagine the pleasures of living in a small and cozy space.
