![]() ![]() This is slightly understandable, as this is not really a book, but a collection of (did I mention short?) blog posts - ironic for two people who spend a lot of time complaining about the empty sound-bite nature of our cultural attention span. They fail to really explain what minimalism is or how one might go about following such a philosophy. The authors instead opt for hyperbolic statements about our technology-fueled world (to which I'm sympathetic) and broad unsupported claims about what makes life meaningful (to which I'm less sympathetic). While there were some thought-provoking ideas in these essays, the compilation of incredibly short blog posts in general had very little substance. I'm going to be honest - I only got through about two thirds of this book before I decided to take "The Minimalists'" own advice and only devote my time to something I found worthwhile. ![]()
