Minimalism, which I know many of you have followed here, has allowed me to simplify my life on a day to day basis. I have been able to move overseas for a short period of time. I have been able to stay relatively debt free. I have been able to live the life I want. All of this is all because of minimalism and simplification.
Just last week, I launched my second eBook entitled PROJECT M-31: Simplify Your Life in 31 Days. I am extremely proud of the final edition and I hope you all check it out. With that said, I would like to let you know that there are many guiding lights out there that you may have not come across. To this day, I do not consider myself to be a complete minimalist. I do consider myself to be on the path towards minimalism and will hopefully reach my goal one day. But to attain that goal, I have been chronicling and advising through my other site coined The Minimalist Path. Today, I would like to share a few guides that have helped me along my path.
The Simple Guide to a Minimalist Life by Leo Babauta - Leo, in a minimalist kind of way, is my leader. Leo, through ZenHabits has been the person taking me step by step through becoming a minimalist and simplifying my life. Long before I started a more minimalist life, Leo was presenting better ways to live life that I always knew, but was always to timid to undertake. This is the ideal guide to entering the minimalist world. Click here to pick it up.
Zen to Done by Leo Babauta – This eBook by Leo is, I believe his first, opens you to a lifestyle of simplicity. While the Simple Guide to a Minimalist Life is more of an extreme version of simplicity, this eBook is more a path towards a simpler life focusing on actions and things rather than mainly things. If you want to ease into a more simpler life, this is the eBook for you. Click here to pick it up.

The Art of Being Minimalist by Everett Bogue – Bogue has become quite the minimalist in the last 6 months or so. Following the launch of Far Beyond the Stars, Everett recently launched his first major eBook entitled The Art of Being Minimalist. In this well developed and exceptionally laid out eBook, Bogue discusses his entrance into a life of minimalism, the benefits, and the courses of action that you need to take to also becoming a minimalist. If you want to start following someone as they try to attain the simplistic following of Babauta, Everett is your guy. Click here to pick it up.
Simplify by Joshua Becker – If you have any feelings that you will not be able to relate to minimalists because you have a family and are too busy for it, then look no further than this eBook by Joshua Becker of Becoming Minimalist. Here, Joshua introduces his entrance to becoming a minimalist in what could be a tale that any one of us would relate to. This eBook is a very simple guide to getting your life in order no matter how big or small your family is. I think Benefit #9: Own Higher Quality Things is the best and most convincing reason for people who still want “stuff” to become more of a minimalist. To find out more, you will have to check it out.
