Back to Joshua Becker. He's written multiple books on minimalism.
If someone has more than one book on minimalism, doesn't that prove him or her a charlatan?
Is writing multiple books the same as owning multiple books?

I feel that Shades has a point here. Writing one clear book that makes the essential points, and then being content with that, seems more in the spirit of minimalism than writing additional books because the first one didn’t quite get all the nuances that somebody might someday need.
