Book Review: Life Styled by Shira Gill

By Irene Roth, Blog Editor, Book Reviewer

Like all of her books, this one is very organized and easy to reference later. She makes the steps in the guide so easy to understand and feel doable in real life. The examples are relatable and the advice is customizable. There are many prompts that will have you truly evaluating your lifestyle and inspire you to make changes that are important to you.

I really enjoy her writing because it’s easy to digest and at times, quite humorous. Everyone who is into minimizing, de-stressing, or just prioritizing their life could benefit from this book. I believe it’s a book that can change your life. I don’t say this often about a book. But I think this book merits that kind of compliment.

Shira Gill’s book provides a practical framework for a more intentional life. She presents tools and systems that are small, actionable prompts to help you create the life you want. The key takeaways for me are:

• It is never too late to start decluttering and organizing. Even a small amount can help us feel freer and less overwhelmed.
• Consistency is key. Small habit shifts can compound over time, resulting in progress.
• We must try to reframe our mindset. We should complain less and be more grateful for a happier and more fulfilled life.

This book is a refreshing combination of beauty, practicality, and lighthearted inspiration to up style your life. The tone is uplifting and fun, making it feel like a personal invitation to transform your life and environment without the stress. Every page sparks some new ideas, and it’s clear that the author put a lot of thought into making it approachable for everyone.

Plus, there are these beautiful personal therapy moments woven throughout—gentle reflections that allow you to not just organize your space, but also nurture your mind. It’s like the book is a little wellness retreat in printed form, offering both practical and emotional support for a harmonious home life.

If you’re looking for a home decor and organizing book that strikes the perfect balance between beauty, efficiency, and personal growth, this is it! Fibromates can also find this book useful as they will be inspired to start organizing and decluttering in as little as a few minutes a day. Since all our efforts add up, if we’re consistent, we’ll have a tidier and less cluttered living space in no time. It’s just the book for the spring season.
