Discovery of LESS: How I Found Everything I Wanted Underneath Everything I Owned

Both an interesting ”story” in itself and as deep and thought provoking as you want it to be around what makes you happy, the far reaching impact of decluttering, finding flow in the style of Csikszentmihalyi.Potential added benefit of sorting out your finances!I found the author very intelligent, engaging and enjoyed the energy coming through.

First thing I will say after reading this bookwas chris made me question what tools do I have in my life that actually benefits me. Gone were the number of apps that haven’t been opened since they were installed on my phone. Gone were the contacts in my phone who I hadn’t even sent a message or phoned. Gone were some old clothes only worn for one occasion and are better off for someone that would appreciate it more.These are just examples of what you can achieve after reading this book. It’s a great read and you really feel part of Chris’s journey from working in insurance in a dead end 9-5 job to becoming an inspirational speaker trying to help others achieve their best self. I’ve seen some documentaries on minimilisim but I actually felt reading chris book gave me a lot more benefit.Can’t wait to read more of your books chris!

I really enjoyed this book. The author has a humorous easy writing style. His story of changing his attitude to “stuff” as he and his partner went on a journey round parts of the world was very interesting.The changes he continued to make on return to the UK were very thought provoking.If you are considering making changes to your belongings then you too may find this book can help you on your journey. Highly recommend 😊

This book has really helped me get in to the practice of decluttering my life and most importantly, improve my mental health. By reducing and minimising the stuff that takes up my physical and mental space, I feel more relaxed. I now use these tips in my day to day life and they are becoming as normal for me as making a cuppa. Brilliant book and essential reading for anyone wanting less to worry about! Thank you.

An enjoyable, easy read whilst way to close to home at many points!Following Chris’s journey was inspiring, but most importantly led to action.Many trips to the dump, charity shops and postbox have followed and whilst I may never be a minimalist, the mindset of less is progress has been a welcome motivation, both from the physical and digital stuff cluttering up my life, but also reinforcing thoughts about my future career path.Highly recommended a read!

I’ve read a lot of self development type books over the years, and after watching Minimalism on Netflix a couple of years ago, I’ve increasingly enjoyed the benefits of a less clutter lifestyle. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that a mutual LinkedIn contact had congratulated Chris on the launch of this book, and seeing its title, decided to take a look, as I felt it would be very much up my street.I have to say this is one of the best books I’ve read in a long while, it completely hit the spot for me and I read it all in just two days, which never normally happens.I love the way its so relatable; this isn’t an instruction manual to minimalism, it’s a story of the journey that Chris went on in terms of deciding there was more to life, and taking a series of what turned out to be life changing actions involving taking a sabbatical, getting rid of a huge amount of unnecessary ‘stuff’ that was suffocating him, worldwide travel, and ultimately changing his life completely.Overall I found it truly inspiring, and I’m about to read it again, at a more leisurely pace!

I really didn't know what to expect from this book but I'm so pleased I bought it! I absolutely love it!It was funny, inspirational and motivating to do something about the clutter!The book flows very nicely and is so easy to read :)

Arrived in good time and well packaged. Was a gift for someone and they've had no complaints!
