To me minimalism is a little like marmite, you either love it or hate it. Regardless of which side of the fence you fall on, here are 4 books that you should read to understand minimalism, how it can influence the way you think and how it can benefit you.
#1 Searching for God in the Garbage by Bracha Goetz
How can we come to enjoy a minimalist lifestyle?
One reviewer put it this way: This book takes us on an intimate journey with the author who reminds us poignantly than that for which we search is inside us all. Eating, drinking, social media, partying... nothing can fill us up if we are spiritually empty.

#3 The More of Less by Joshua Becker
[This book is] an excellent resource on the 'why' of minimalism and the positive impact it can have on your life. The More of Less was a national bestseller (USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly) and will release in paperback in November this year. Joshua's follow up book The Minimalist Home will release in December 2018 and offers the how to bring minimalism into every room of your home. If you want to minimize your library on minimalism, these are the two essential books to have.

#4 The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
Marie Kondo's 'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up' really did change our lives. She does a great job of laying out the rationale behind adopting a minimalist lifestyle, then walks you through the purging and post-downsizing organization process, step-by-step. Because of this book, we were able to let go of about 75% of our belongings - and we haven't looked back! Life truly is easier (and happier) when you live with less.

One of the best books I have ever read that I could relate to on so many levels. Highly recommended for teens and up. It is in our forming teen years and early twenties that we need this encouragement and support.
