About this ebook
Live More by Choosing Less
Our lives are full of stuff. Our world encourages both buying and holding onto things. We seem to have this obsession with possessing things. And, sadly, we are reluctant to let go of what we already own. This leads to clutter, hoarding, and the unhealthy thinking that goes with it.
Thanks to clever advertising and eager sellers we've become accustomed to wanting more, bigger, improved faster, more efficient products. We can't get enough. There's always more out there tantalizing us. When we physically minimize our possessions, there is a shift in thinking about what is important not only in our setting but also in our beliefs. We look at problems and solutions differently. We value things, thoughts, idea, and concepts differently. I believe that, by getting rid of the physical and mental clutter, we become better able to problem solve. We become more adept at making informed decisions. We become better able to assess and use our resources.
In this book, David Wright inspires you to take a fresh look at your life and yourself and to make a move toward acquiring minimalist habits that will alter the way you think, the way you live, the way you interact with colleagues, friends, and loved ones.

It’s often said that cleaning your house is like polishing yourself. I think that this is a golden rule. It isn’t just dust and dirt that accumulate in our homes.

Cleaning the grime is certainly unpleasant, but more than that, it’s the need to face our own past deeds that makes it so tough. But when we have fewer material possessions and cleaning becomes an easy habit, the shadows we now face will be of our daily accomplishments.
