I especially like Joshua Becker's book "The More of Less."

The More of Less: Finding the Life You Want Under Everything You Own https://www.amazon.com/dp/1601427964/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_raQnzbXTXHPJR

Basically, it's a process. You start by paring down your possessions, and changing your mindset along the way. As you pare down the things and the extra activities and expenditures and the expensive mindsets, you're more able to find the clarity and the room to plan for the life you really want, without all the trappings of "stuff."

If I can self-promote, The More of Less would be a great book for them to read. However, if I were you, I’d ask to take them out for coffee and, from the heart, out of love, share the difference that minimalism has made in your life. Also, think through the conversation in terms of what would resonate with them. What drew you into minimalism might be different than what would draw them. Hopefully you know them well enough that you can paint a picture of what their lives might look like if they were unburdened in their next home with a bunch of stuff they didn’t need.

It depends on you. For me, Minimalism is a tool to helps me simplify my life and to focus on what is important by removing the "Things" that clutter my mind and my space. The "Things" could refer to physical things such as items that you don't need, things that you haven't used in a while, and the things that you hoard for no apparent reason. The "Things" could also refer to the amount of information you consume as well.

To ask "What is a minimalist Lifestyle?" one must ask "Why do you want to live a minimalist lifestyle?" Is it for financial reasons? Are you going to crisis? Are you moving? Always question the idea with "Why?" and once you have it, then try to simplify the "Things" around you that are holding you back.

Example: For me, I had credit card payments and medical bills to pay, and minimalism helped me minimize my spending habits, and focus on paying those bills. later on, I started questioning all my stuff, and started removing the things that I didn't need or didn't bring joy or value to my life anymore. It wasn't all sudden but it was all worth it.

Here are some wonderful sources that might give you an idea on minimalism:

I have that issue with boxes too. I always keep a few Ulta ones around for shipping. I dabble with Ebay as well. It sucks, because in addition to the "I might need it one day narrative", now there is the "someone will buy that on Ebay, why would I toss it when I can make a few bucks?". I have a mental list of so many "trash" items that others would buy. There really is a market for everything.

I came across "The Minimalists" (they are a friend/ blogger duo) who wrote books ("Everything That Remains" ), do tours, and even have a documentary out on Netflix. The title that I linked is the only one I've read. I think the others are a compilation of essays and not in tradition chapter form. Anyhow, I liked Milburn's writing style. It was a bit floral and ^(a little pretentious) at times; however there were some good insights, and had some memorable scenes that still resonate strongly with me.

Branching off of that, I appreciated Joshua Becker's book. He has children, and has incorporated how that affects the process of downsizing and minimalism. If I recall correctly, this book has religious underones (I think the author is Christian, so he does reflect and tie all of it back to his relationship with God).

I read this one too. This lady was featured in The Minimalists' documentary. I think I liked it. lol. I can't remember. However, I do recall one specific story in it.

So yeah, maybe this will inspire and help you towards your goals. I certainly need to revisit them as well.
