I'm happy to find this guide in audio format!

It's wise and deep, yet makes me laugh out loud every now and then because of the author's witty humor.

The biggest eye opener for me was that, without really realizing it, I thought I would be happier if I had more money, a beautiful car, a big house etc. But the thought of one of my best friends who has all this kept nagging me. He is still in this state of "not enough", still wanting more, which makes him feel exactly the same as I do: needing more before I can be happy. This book touched on this issue with the advice not to chase happiness by owning and accumulating more stuff, but instead to focus on living a MEANINGFUL life and collect experiences and memories rather then material possessions.

I also liked the part where you are encouraged to find your own style of minimalism. This really took some pressure off of me; realizing minimalism should be about a feeling of relief and liberation, not about deprivation and unhappiness.

It's a 21-day challenge, but the author says that this is just a guideline, you can spend a little longer on some days if you feel you need to. I chose to spend 2 days on each day, making it more like a 6 week challenge which combined better for me with the demands of work. 6 weeks gave me plenty of time to process everything, while keeping me motivated with a new exercise every other day. If you're working fulltime like me, I would recommend this, or do the challenge during a holiday period.

In summery, if you like the concept of Minimalism, but aren't sure how to start implementing it in your life, I can really recommend this challenge.
