Free Book: Rightsizing Your Life
By Ryan Healy | June 9, 2008
It’s been a long time since I did a book giveaway, so I decided it was time for another. The last time, I chose the winner based on the quality of the comment. This time I’m doing it differently…
The book I’m giving away is Rightsizing Your Life by Ciji Ware.
To be entered to win the book, simply leave a comment telling me why you’re interested in having it or reading it. Doesn’t have to be anything fancy. Just a comment.
(Feel free to link to this post as well, but you might want to leave a comment anyway just to make sure you’re entered. Trackbacks and pingbacks are notoriously unreliable.)
You must leave your comment by Thursday, June 12, to be entered in the giveaway. I will use a random number generator to select one winner on Friday. I will contact the winner using the email address you use when you submit your comment.
Note: You do NOT have to pay shipping fees or anything of the sort. This is a chance to win a 100% free book just for leaving a comment on this post.
Now, let me tell you a little bit about the book and why I’m giving it away…
First of all, the book is excellent. I haven’t read the entire thing, but I’ve read the first part of the book, as well as additional chapters/excerpts that were relevant to me.
It’s a book about how to “rightsize” your life. In other words, how to reduce the number of your possessions and possibly the size of your house so that you create a lifestyle that’s right for you.
There are scores of good tips, anecdotes, and resources included in the book. And its rating on Amazon is higher than 4 stars (out of 5). So I think the general consensus is that the quality of information and writing is A+.
I’m giving the book away because I feel it’s really aimed at an audience of 40-60 years old. And in case you didn’t know, I’m a lot younger than that. Also, I’ve been ruthless with clutter and getting rid of stuff during the last 2-3 years, so I don’t feel like I have nearly the problem that “pack rats” do.
I figure somebody out there will get a lot more value out of this book than I will, at least at this point in my life.
So there you have it. A free book about downsizing/rightsizing your life. If you’d like a chance to win, simply leave a comment telling me why you’re interested in reading the book by Thursday, June 12, 2008. Thanks!

The book sounds like exactly the sort of thing I’m looking to read right now.
I’m in the middle of downsizing from my house which has 2200 sq ft of living space (plus garage, 2 patios, garden shed) to an 800 sq ft apartment with no storage other than the bedroom closets.
My adventures in downsizing - in every sense of the word - and the 5 year plan I’m working - will be featured in my blog Frugalous.com starting later this month.

Well, Merlene, at this rate you have a 1 in 1 chance of winning.
And it does sound like you’ve got a big task in front of you well-suited to the topic of this book.
We’ll see how this giveaway pans out…

I would love this book. After almost 40 years of
marriage there is a lot of “stuff” that needs to
go. Unfortunately for every single item I get
rid of, hubby brings in 2 or 3 more……sigh.

I would love to take a look at this book. I need more motivation, I’m working on the debt free lifestyle but I haven’t conqured the ‘I deserve’ mentality yet.

Motivation and inspiration is what I need!
