Inspired by her own quest for a more fulfilling existence, Courtney Carver’s Soulful Simplicity: How Living with Less Can Lead to So Much More is an eloquent examination of minimalism. There are four sections in the book:
Making Me: Stresses the value of self-care and mindfulness while concentrating on health and wellbeing.
Making Space: Provides helpful guidance on simplifying and clearing out one’s home.
Making Time: Discusses methods for streamlining timetables and giving priority to tasks that are important.
Making Love: Emphasizes the value of fostering deep ties and relationships.

Carver offers readers practical advice on how to accept simplicity in his writing, which is both inspirational and intimate. She challenges readers to examine their behaviors—such as using shopping to make up for lost time—and to establish more wholesome routines that are consistent with their moral principles. The book also presents ideas like the “Busy Boycott,” which promotes trying to slow down and enjoy the little things in life.
“Soulful Simplicity” has inspired and resonated with readers. One reviewer, for example, pointed out that although the book didn’t present any novel ideas, it strengthened their resolve to live a simpler life and motivated them to keep going in that direction.
Another reader thought the book was a great resource for people who were feeling overburdened by life’s responsibilities and valued Carver’s candid storytelling.
In conclusion, “Soulful Simplicity” is a kind but potent reminder of the advantages of leading an intentional life. Readers are inspired by Carver’s observations to let go of excess and concentrate on what genuinely makes them happy and fulfilled.
