Book Giveaway - The Power of Less by Leo Babauta

Since I was beat from an 8 mile trail run today, and then watching football playoffs, not a lot of minimizing was done. But, to keep on track (and also try and get some more followers on this blog) I got the idea to give away my copy of Leo Babauta's book, The power of Less.

Leo recently noted on G+ that his publisher has just lowered the price of the book to $3.99 on a special sale.

The Power of Less, on Sale
"As part of a New Year's promotion by my publisher, Hyperion, my book The Power of Less is on sale for just $3.99 until Jan. 31, 2012." ~Leo
I am trying to minimize, and since my lovely wife gave me a Kindle for my birthday, I am getting more e-books and fewer hard-copy books. I love this book of Leo's and would like to get an e-copy, so I can pass along this hardcover 1st edition. It is in great condition (I am very careful with books).

So here's the deal: One week from today I will randomly select a member/follower of my blog to send the book to. Shipping is on me, regardless of where the recipient lives, so overseas readers can enter to get the book too.

I've only got one copy, but the odds are pretty good right now as I don't have that many followers or members for this blog. Believe me, I never knew how motivating it would be to report to the world how I am doing on becoming a minimalist, but it is. In fact, telling the world what you are doing is one of the secrets to creating habits, as Leo has written about on his ZenHabits blog for years.

Before I mail the book I will contact the person randomly drawn and make sure they want the book. If they don't, I will draw someone else. Hence, there is no reason to not sign up to follow this blog in case you don't happen to need or want Leo's book in hardcover.

So, become a member/follower of aminimalistintraining and get a chance at winning The Power of Less absolutely free. You can't get much more minimalist than that. ~Rocky

  1. Just found your blog through Leo's google+ post. I'm struggling with being a minimalist myself, and and am excited I found your blog! :)

  2. I am really happy you found my blog and I hope you get something from it. I have been reading about minimizing for years now and am a big fan of Leo's and of other minimalists like Nina Yau of Castlesintheair.org.

    Finally I decided to plunge in and become a minimalist, and to document my path on this blog. I'm trying to do something every day to minimize. So far so good. ~Rocky
