Look around your home right now; do not forget your garage or basement. Is there at least one item you have not used for a while? Maybe you have never used an item gifted to you or you bought because it was on sale. Did you know that this item actually still costs you money even though you are not using it?

There are a great many misconceptions about the topic, however, which can lead people away from it and the benefits it promises to provide. This book will attempt to reveal the true essence of minimalism, showing both its true purpose and the rewards it can potentially bring.
