Personal opinion
It's a little hard for me to be objective with this girl. I found out that her minimalist lifestyle existed because of her. Three years ago when I heard the word minimalism applied to the wardrobe and stuff, Adriana was one of the few who spoke about this topic in Spanish.
a super book recommended for those who want to start in the minimalist lifestyle. The book is structured in 16 chapters with different areas of our life.
For those who have read several books on the subject, it may be very basicHowever, we can always learn tricks and habits that we can put into practice.
Very entertaining story where Adri tells us about his personal experience, how it happened from being a shopaholic consumer to landing on minimalism. Seeing the evolution of a real person and at the same time so close, is a shot of energy to know that it is possible.
If you are starting out in the minimalist lifestyle this book is for you..
The 16 chapters are read very quickly and range from the wardrobe (the most superficial part) to mental minimalism and personal relationships.
