Lots of good stuff. More of a compilation of others' advice, but I appreciated the Catholic perspective, especially for those with large families, large homes, and the poor. I would definitely recommend it. ...more

This isn't a bad book, but it felt a bit thin and repetitive. I read through the entire first section and skimmed the rest. With many very short chapters (2-3 pages each), big font and lots of white space, it felt like a collection of blog posts.

For someone new to minimalism and intentional living, I think this could be a very helpful book. However, I've read a lot on the subject and there wasn't much new here so that made it an ok (2 star) read for me. ...more

Sterling does a nice job of laying out the themes of minimalism within Catholic thought. She makes the distinction between minimalism, organizing,and cleaning. After systematically leading through each room with questions to ask ourselves we should be able to minimize our clutter and have intentionality in our homes.
