“The More of Less, by Joshua Becker, is not at all what I expected when I first picked it up.” —Christina Butcher
The More of Less
I am very excited to have released a new book, The More of Less: Finding the Life You Want Under Everything You Own.
I’m really proud of it—it’s easily the best thing I have ever written. The people who worked on the project both believed in me and pushed me. I am grateful for that.
The book is written “to introduce the world to minimalism.” It articulates in a highly inspirational way the benefits of owning less. But it’s about more than that—it’s also about intentionality and generosity and living your best life.
The More of Less pushes into places I have not published previously. It studies the history of consumerism and the generational differences that explain our attachments to stuff. It calls the reader to look inward to better understand the extent of consumerism’s appeal (it doesn’t blame everything on marketers and advertisements). It provides significant thoughts on not just decluttering, but overcoming consumerism.
On every page, it paints minimalism as an opportunity to live a better life—the life you always wanted.
It can be found everywhere in both hardcover and digital formats.

Bonus Offer: 3 Ways to Meet the Author
The online, pre-order sales for The More of Less have been unbelievable—over 10,000 copies sold already! But since this is my first book carried by every major bookstore in the country, I’d love to see the Becoming Minimalist community show up in-person to buy the book as well.
To help promote in-store sales, I’m offering three distinct ways to meet me and talk about the book:
- I will randomly select one reader (and a guest) for dinner. To qualify, purchase a hardcover edition from your local bookstore before Sunday, May 8, and leave a comment on this Facebook post (you will need to provide proof of purchase if selected). A drawing will be held on Sunday at 10am ET. I’ll make arrangements to travel to the hometown of the winner, pick them up, and enjoy the finest dining their hometown has to offer (I’m really quite excited about it). This prize is limited to residents of the continental US.
- I will randomly select 10 readers to receive a 60-minute Skype conversation with me. Again, to qualify for the drawing, purchase a hardcover edition from your local bookstore before Sunday, May 8, and leave a comment on this Facebook post (you’ll be required to provide proof of purchase if selected). I’ll arrange a Skype call with ten winners, where we can talk about minimalism, decluttering, writing, the state of American politics… or whatever may be on your mind that day. You set the entire agenda.
- In June, my family is heading out on a 10-City, West Coast Book Tour (Tucson, AZ to Victoria, BC and a whole bunch of cities in-between). I’d love for you to join us. Tickets are free and over 700 people have already RSVP’d. To see if we’re coming to your city or to grab a ticket, check out the Tour Schedule.
Bookstores are important. I encourage you to support yours.
I’ve been writing about minimalism for eight years. The More of Less contains everything I have learned during that time.
It is, by far, my best writing ever and you’re really going to love it. So grab a copy today—and grab one for a friend too.

Extremely disappointing book. I’ll be submitting a 1-start Amazon review.
Pam Woodward says
I pre-ordered the book, but when I received it and tried to sign up it wouldn’t let me. Can you please send an email like you have done other people? Thanks in advance!
joshua becker says
Sure.
Jill Foley says
Just finished your book, and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. (I’ll be reviewing in on my blog on Friday) I am looking forward to meeting you in June in Portland.
Also, I was reading the Compassion blog yesterday and thought, “I should somehow send this post on generosity to Joshua Becker. It sounds so much like his message.” …. then I got to the end of the post and saw you had written it! Thrilled to see you over there.

I’m holding an advance copy in my hands. Lots of great content, from “device advice” to an examination of generational consumerism. Congrats on a great book. Once I’m done with it I’ll do a blog post about it!
Alison says
Just received the book in the mail yesterday and can’t wait to read it!
Brantlee says
So excited for you! I can’t wait to dive into my copy of the book and get started on the e course. Hope you are planning an east coast leg of the book tour.
Coco says
Looking forward to reading this book. I have been having similar thoughts lately about the futility of a life lived for the acquisition possessions.
Renee says
I can’t wait to see you at the last bookstore. Thanks for sharing your story and inspiring!
Renee says
I can’t wait to see you at the last bookstore. Last time I was there a neighbor brought me to see the minimalist speak. Your blog is the only one I have followed without unsubscribing. Thanks for sharing your story and inspiring!
Tess says
Does it cause you any inner turmoil to be encouraging people to go out and buy some stuff (I.e. Your book.)? I’m asking with tongue in cheek and a smile. I can’t wait to read your book when it becomes available in my local library here in Australia… Coz I don’t want to buy any more stuff!!!
joshua becker says
I sell books that tell people not to buy stuff—the irony is not lost on me.
