From lifestyle trailblazer and author of The Afrominimalist's Guide To Living with Less, a practical guide to move beyond decluttering your space and, instead, declutter your life.

When people think of minimalism, they imagine white walls, Scandinavian furniture, and no more than 100 things-all of which must spark joy. But with this emphasis on aesthetics, we lose track of the true potential of adopting a minimalist mindset, that the notion of "less" is a choice. It is an option that is intricately connected to finding freedom from a life of overwhelm. And that freedom is more than a feeling. It is a mindset that we must embrace and embody day by day, moment by moment. Freedom, Platt maintains, is determined by our choices. How we choose to spend our time. How we choose to expend our energy. What and who we choose to prioritize. What and who we choose to bear as our responsibilities. What and who we deem deserving of our resources-physically, emotionally, mentally, socially, intellectually, and monetarily. Finding freedom from a life of overwhelm requires us to do the exact opposite of what we have been taught and told to do: we must choose ourselves over the profit and pleasure of others.

Written in Platt's winning voice and with full of step by step guidance, Less is Liberation is the book we all need to reclaim our lives and our energy.
