From New York Times Best Selling Author Joshua Becker
A quarterly magazine for people who need gentleness more than productivity right now.
You don't have to be ready. You just have to be willing to read a few pages.
★★★★★
"I've been going through a period of depression and this most recent issue in particular has really boosted me along on my journey to restore my health and well-being... accessible to and easily implemented by anyone, even someone suffering from the lack of motivation and hope that so often accompanies depression."
Simplify Magazine reader
You didn't stop caring about your home. You ran out of capacity to care about anything.
Maybe it's been months since things felt normal. Maybe you can't remember what normal felt like. The dishes sit in the sink. The clothes pile up. You know what needs to happen but the energy to do it just... isn't there.
And then the guilt shows up. Because you know you "should" be handling this. You see other people managing their lives and you wonder what's wrong with you.
Nothing is wrong with you. You're just running on empty. And everything is harder when you're running on empty.
Most advice right now feels like someone handing you a 47-step plan while you're trying not to drown. You don't need a plan. You need a lifeline that's gentle enough to hold.
That's why this page exists. Not to sell you something, but to tell you about something that might help, whenever you're ready for it.
Real words from real people, shared publicly on Reddit.
r/minimalism
"I suffered from a burnout earlier this year and it really made me reflect on my life."
r/minimalism
"Might be the biggest change I have ever made. I still have a long way to go, but I am already so relieved I could cry from happiness."
r/minimalism
"I so want to declutter and be more minimalist but I'm exhausted and don't have the energy to take on minimizing my home."
What Simplify Magazine Actually Is
Eight to twelve articles. Once every three months. No deadlines, no progress tracking, no 12-week curriculum. Just ideas that meet you where you are.
Short enough to read one at a time. No pressure to finish in a sitting.
Four times a year. March, June, September, December. It waits for you.
No pop-ups, no banners, no product placements. Just calm, thoughtful writing.
The best minimalism advice for someone in a hard season: read seven pages. Close the magazine. Do nothing else today. That counts. That's enough.
I'm Joshua Becker. I've written five books on minimalism and simple living, including the New York Times best seller Uncluttered Faith. Over 2 million people read my blog, Becoming Minimalist.
But here's what most people don't know about how I got here.
I didn't wake up one morning full of motivation and conquer my overwhelm by Tuesday. It was slow. It was gradual. Some weeks I took one small step. Other weeks I didn't do anything at all.
The change that stuck wasn't the dramatic kind. It was the quiet kind. A single idea at the right moment. A few pages read over morning coffee. The slow realization that I had permission to live differently.
That's exactly what I built Simplify Magazine to be. Not a program that demands your energy. A gentle companion that offers ideas when you have the capacity to receive them, and waits patiently when you don't.
Over 300,000 people read it now. Not because it asks a lot of them, but because it doesn't.
What reading feels like
Feel a little calmer after reading. That's enough for now. You don't have to reorganize your whole kitchen today.
Find one idea that sticks with you. Not twelve action items. Just one thought that makes the day feel a little lighter.
Remember that simplicity isn't about having less stuff. It's about having more room to breathe, think, and rest.
Give yourself permission to start small. Read one article. Put the magazine down. Come back tomorrow, or next week, or next month. It's yours forever.
You don't need to "get your life together" to read this magazine. You can read it on a hard day, from bed, with a cup of tea, and still get something meaningful from it. That's the whole point.

On Gentle Progress
"Insightful, enjoyable and a good motivator for the (long and slow!) process of decluttering and simplifying my life. I got so much more done this month after reading the magazine, it really inspired me. Now I feel like I'm on a roll and I'm not going to stop!"
On Not Being Able to Put It Down
"I've just subscribed to this magazine. Started reading it this afternoon and couldn't put it down."
On Perfect Timing
"Just read the first issue and signed up for the lifetime account. This came at the right and perfect time."
On The Quality
"I subscribed right before Christmas and I love it. No ads, just really good articles that don't push you to buy anything. I've even found myself reading a few articles to my family and consciously implementing some suggestions into my life."
Here's what's inside

I originally launched Simplify Magazine as a quarterly subscription. Readers loved it. Many said it was the only magazine they actually read cover to cover.
But I kept hearing the same thing: "I don't want to worry about renewals or losing access. Can I just own it forever?"
So I made it possible. One payment, everything included, no expiration date.
Here's what you get:

On Being Hooked
"I saw the ad on Facebook and read part of the first issue. I have been hooked ever since. I find myself reading every single article. Thank you."
On Life Transformation
"Simplify Magazine has hugely challenged me and, like all themes of the magazine, has been a real source of inspiration – your work really is amazing!"
On Saving a Ritual
"I wanted to send a quick note of thanks for your magazine and all of the hard work and dedication that it takes to put something of this caliber together. I have long loved the ritual of drinking tea while reading a magazine on the weekends or a day off. But in the last few years I started to lose that love, as the magazines I had loved became increasingly filled with advertisements and the content and quality dwindled. I saw your ad on Facebook for the first free issue and skeptically gave it a try, and am so glad that I did. Thank you for saving my ritual."
On Getting Results
"Just read through first three issues in 5 hours! Great magazine! Counting the days until the next one!"
On Life Transformation
"Thank you all for creating this magazine. This subject is close to my heart and I look forward to reading and enjoying your articles. This is a good time for this content to be accepted and help those who struggle with life (everyone). I predict much success for you."
On Life Transformation
"I travel for my job and this is going to be great reading. Thank you for sharing with the world. You've done something great to make the world a little brighter. I'll be sure to tell my friends!"
Here's our very first issue. Swipe or use the arrows to flip through.
The magazine is digital-only if you want access to all past and future issues. We do, however, offer a one-time physical copy of The Best of Simplify Magazine that compiles 20 of our best essays from our backlog of over 30 issues.
We're often asked why we don't have a physical version for every issue. We want to be able to provide access at the lowest price possible for everyone, which wouldn't be possible if we printed each issue as well.
When you choose the lifetime option, you get every past issue, the current issue, and every future issue we ever publish... forever. No subscriptions, no renewals, no recurring payments.
To date, this magazine has been ongoing since 2017 and we've never missed a single issue's release date (new issues come out every quarter on March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1). We're now 36 issues deep and have no plans to stop. :)
Each issue has a specific theme, such as: Joy & Happiness, Health & Wellness, Stress & Overwhelm, Decluttering, Relationships, Technology & Digital Detox, Gratitude & Contentment, Money, Savings & Debt ...and dozens more.
Depending on how fast you decide to go, expect each issue to take anywhere between an hour or two to finish.
You'll be able to access every issue of Simplify Magazine on the website and you'll also receive Digital PDF access to every issue as well. You can print these out or even send them to your Kindle. If you purchase the optional physical "Best Of" edition then expect that to arrive within 7-14 days.
New issues are released every quarter on March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1.
It's a one-time payment that gives you lifetime access to all past and future issues.
You have 60 days to check out Simplify Magazine and the bonuses. If you are not feeling any happier or are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, send an email to our support desk to get your full money back.
Our contributors include well-known voices in minimalism, mental health professionals, relationship experts, and everyday people living intentionally. Every article is curated to be practical, encouraging, and deeply relevant.
No, Simplify Magazine is designed for anyone seeking more peace, focus, and joy, no matter where you're starting.

There's no risk here. Just something that might help.
I'm not going to tell you that you need to act now. I'm not going to tell you that this offer is disappearing tonight. If today isn't the day, that's okay.
But I do want you to know this:
More than 300,000 people read Simplify Magazine. Some of them picked it up during the best season of their lives. And some of them picked it up during the hardest.
The ones who found it during a hard season often tell me the same thing: they didn't expect it to help as much as it did. They were just looking for something quiet to read. Something that didn't ask too much of them. Something that made them feel a little less alone in trying to find a simpler way to live.
You don't have to transform your life this week. You just have to be willing to read a few pages and see how it feels.
I can't promise everything will change overnight. Real change is slow, and gentle, and sometimes barely noticeable from the inside.
But I can promise this: the magazine will be here whenever you're ready for it. And if you try it and it's not for you, you get every penny back within 60 days.
Take your time. There's no rush.
