Ten days ago, my family and I embarked on a West Coast Book Tour to celebrate the release of The More of Less: Finding the Life You Want Under Everything You Own.
Over the course of 17 days, we would visit five states, ten cities (from Phoenix, AZ to Victoria, BC), and meet thousands of people.
The trip has been memorable on both a personal and professional level. My kids have enjoyed the sights and the sounds (and the tastes) of each unique city. And I have enjoyed the opportunity to meet so many of you in person. Your stories have been both encouraging and inspiring to me.
I am more committed than ever to spread the message about the life-giving benefits of owning less.
I know many of you have not been able to attend the events—mostly because you don’t live on the West Coast. For that reason, I want to share a few pictures from the events so you could get a sense of how the movement to own less continues to grow.
And then I’m going to tell you how you can join us in Victoria, BC for the final stop on the tour.
But first, if you could have attended one of the events, it might have looked something like this:
San Diego with Special Guest: Dave Bruno
Kids. Kids have been there!
Los Angeles with Special Guest: Peter Walsh
Chatting with Peter backstage in Los Angeles. It was the first time we had met in person.
San Jose.
Meeting people afterwards is always my favorite part of the evening.
My daughter has been learning photography this summer and has taken all the tour photos. She also likes being in front of the camera :).
Portland with Special Guest: Dana Shultz
Seattle.
Join Us on Tuesday
On Tuesday evening, at 7pm PT, I will be concluding the Book Tour in Victoria, BC where I will be joined by special guests Mike Vardy and Cait Flanders.
Stream of Consciousness, a Victoria-based social enterprise, will be live streaming the event on YouTube.
If you have not been able to attend the tour in person, you can still join us virtually. Here’s the direct link to live stream the event.

June 27, 2016 at 1:47 PMCongratulations again on the book and the tour! I think we live in a time when your message of “less is more” resonates. If I weren’t in Ireland, I would have enjoyed the San Jose visit. Continued success!

June 28, 2016 at 7:10 AMI love your book. Even though I had been practicing minimalism for several years when I started reading your blog, I still found so much useful and well written information there and in your book. I love that even your style of dress in these photos is simple.

June 28, 2016 at 10:25 AMCongratulations on your book! The minimalist is an inspiration to many. It relieves us of the pressures that otherwise life demands making life way more simpler and meaningful. Keep spreading the message to inculcate this minimalist culture everywhere you are!

June 29, 2016 at 6:33 AMJoshua, will you post the video from the live event? I tried to listen but there was no audio and I couldn’t figure out if it was user error or what. Would love to hear your session with Cait! Thanks so much!!!

July 25, 2016 at 1:55 PMJust purchased the book. My first kindle book. Seemed appropriate. But I’m a little sorry I can’t pass it on once I’m done, which is what I’ve started to do with my hard-copy books.
