Feels like a grandmother introducing you to the idea of keeping only what truly matters. I especially appreciated the challenge to learn to like looking at things as a replacement for owning them. The style is conversational over practical but there were still some practical techniques to try and it is no hardship to listen to the author's life mixed in with her advice. I hope the real value of this book comes when I gift it to my parents.

I am not sure how to take the very end, however -

the claim that if she was not going to die, she would go shopping.

I feel it rather undid the argument that living minimally was its own reward as well.
