| Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives by Tim HarfordWhat it is: a thought-provoking paean to messiness and chaos (both literal and figurative), which argues that while some things might not "spark joy," they can spark creativity and inventive solutions.
Topics include: the perils of being too organized and too automated; how over-streamlining can lead to a lack of diverse influences and a loss of resilience; some famous innovators whose "disruptions" created new paradigms, like composer Brian Eno and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. |

| L'art de la Simplicite: How to Live More With Less by Dominique LoreauWhat it is: a Japanese-influenced guide to minimalist life, told through a French lens, finally translated into English after becoming an international bestseller.
Beyond clutter: Included are chapters about financial minimalism and efficiently managing your time, which the author argues will leave you with the resources for more truly meaningful experiences in the future.
Reviewers say: "a thought-provoking tome with a powerful message" (Publishers Weekly). |

| The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Free Yourself and Your Family From... by Margareta MagnussonWait, "death cleaning"? Or in Swedish, döstädning, which refers to reducing the clutter in your home (and your life in general) so that your loved ones won't have to do it later.
Sounds kind of morbid. Maybe at first, but the author argues that Swedes don't see it that way and presents her ideas with a surprising amount of charm and humor.
Why you should read it: to prompt conversations that can be as difficult as they are important; to help you reevaluate your relationship with your belongings and make the most of the life you're living now. |
