What is The Minimalist Within?
- A guidebook to help you get started on a journey toward minimalism
- A conversation starter to introduce minimalism to people
- A tool to determine your personal “why” for minimalism
- A reminder of the reasons we pursue less in order to discover more
- A method for learning to ask the right questions
What The Minimalist Within Is NOT:
This is not a How-To book on clutter and organization. Cleaning out the clutter in your home is definitely an important piece of the puzzle. However, I have chosen to focus more on the “why” of minimalism in this book. The “how” of minimalism is secondary, but I’ll provide some basic steps to get you started.
This is not a book telling you that your life choices are wrong. I am not here to tell you that if you’re not living a minimalist lifestyle then you are ruining your life. I am here to explain how minimalism can be achieved and why you might find it helpful.
This book is not a “one-size fits all” description of minimalism. Not everyone will pursue minimalism in the same way. My version of radical change may not be the same as your version. The journey to minimalism is a personal one, but the foundational truths provide a common ground to build upon.
DOWNLOAD THE MINIMALIST WITHIN
Why Is It Free?
Honestly, I was torn about whether to charge for the book for not. Often people place little value of things that are given free of charge. I settled on not charging for this book because I’m hoping it will reach more people that way. I wish I had heard about minimalism and the benefits it could provide me and my family a long time ago. If a resource like The Minimalist Within can be readily available to someone curious about pursuing a life of less, then I don’t want a fee to stand in their way.
This book is also in celebration of my site relaunch. So consider it a gift from me to you. I’m not requiring you to sign up or subscribe to anything in order to download the book. I do have a lot of exciting new things coming this year including the release of a more in-depth book on minimalism for families. Subscribing is a great way to stay in the loop.

Definately reading this within the next couple of days….
it looks beautiful! :) (and I had to laugh about the pile of naked Barbies because it’s.. well.. spot on!)

Ok, I just might as well have written ‘next couple of hours’.. this was one of those books that I read straight-through.
I loved every page of it! – especially how you managed to make minimalism ‘friendly’.. you know, accessible for familes and people who just don’t want to live out of one suitcase.
Keep up the good work! (oh, and be sure to charge for your next book, they’re absolutely worth it!) – Greetings from the Netherlands
Read it and loved it. Excellent writing, Faith. I love your approach to minimalism, inspiring and accessible. Congratulations!
Thanks so much, Rachel. I’m thrilled you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the super book, Faith!
I like both your focus on “why” vs. “how” and your approach to simplicity/minimalism, which is very practical and real, especially for those of us with families.
Keep up the wonderful writing!
Faith,
The site looks AWESOME! I love how clean it is! Did you do it yourself? I am excited for you!
I am going to download your e-book now!

What is valuable to you?
I’ll spread the love and post it on my blog!
Excellent! Am going to download it, read it and spread the word. I love well-written, free ebooks and will only be happy to share..
Thanks for creating this, Faith!
I’m very excited to read this! I’ve downloaded it and it’s going right on to my e-reader. I appreciate and applaud your choosing to make your book available for free.
Posted a link out on my Facebook page for you. Hopefully everyone will do the same for you.
Great read!
I LOVED it! Already posted a link to it on Facebook. I love the way you presented the minimalist lifestyle, especially the section on prioritizing before organizing. Glad I read it before being tempted to purchase more “organizing” stuff being promoted in all the stores this month.
The quotes and awesome photography made it even enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
I just skimmed this book, and will definitely make time to read it more thoroughly later. I also read several other blogs and have read other books on simplicity and minimalism, so I thought this book might be just more of the same, but your approach is refreshing. Thank you!
