How to Create a Movement by Everett Bogue is a simple straight-forward guide to creating a movement.  Everett Bogue is the leader of a Minimalism movement at his blog Far Beyond the Stars.  He is also author of The Art of Being Minimalist and Minimalist Business: How to Live and Work Anywhere.  His views on a minimalist lifestyle have come from his own experience.  He lives with less than 100 things, and because of this he is able to live and work from anywhere.

Overview

The title says it all; this eBook is about creating a movement.  Everett Bogue shares with us the lessons he learned when creating his own minimalism movement.   His movement even shines through into this eBook.  The book is simple and neatly organized.  It’s also packed full of information, yet done so in a to-the-point style that excludes superfluous words or ideas to fit into a 20 page eBook.  It is a prime example of his minimalistic way, showing us that minimal can effective.

Everett Bogue has certainly created a minimalism movement, and he has developed quite a following on his blog.  I love it when an author lives the example before teaching it.  Everett has lived the example, and now that he has the experience, he has shared his techniques in his free eBook, How to Create a Movement.

This eBook is nearly perfect as I see it.  I’d like to read more about details of the movement that Everett is leading, which is outside the scope of this eBook, and instead is included in his premium eBook, The Art of Being Minimalist.

Verdict

I give How to Create a Movement five stars.  I definitely recommend this one.  I love how Everett has brought in his minimalist style to create an eBook that is useful and concise.  I’m planning to implement some of his ideas to grow my blog.  The idea of creating a movement can be applied in a variety of areas, pretty much anywhere you desire to make a difference.  How to Create a Movement is a great outline to get you started.

Hello Eric,

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about this free ebook. It really made me want to check out the book and his blog. My verdict…it’s wonderful! Now everything finally “makes sense”. I was definitely headed in this direction for my own community after reading “Tribes” by Seth Godin, but Everett pushed me over the tipping point. Thanks again!
