Simplify Magazine | $20. Every Issue. Forever.

The Story Behind the Magazine

What If the Best Minimalism Content Was Available to Everyone?

I'm Joshua Becker. Over the past decade, I've helped more than 2 million people simplify their lives through my blog Becoming Minimalist, my 5 best-selling books (including the New York Times Best Seller Uncluttered Faith), and appearances on national media.

When I created Simplify Magazine, I wanted to build something I'd never seen in the minimalism space: a publication where every page exists to help the reader. No sponsored content. No affiliate links. No brand partnerships woven into the articles.

Gretchen Rubin, Nir Eyal, and Peter Walsh contribute alongside psychologists, relationship experts, and financial advisors. Every issue is 8-12 long-form articles written by people at the top of their field.

The result is a magazine you can trust completely. When you read Simplify, every word is there because it helps you, not because someone paid for it.

What "Ad-Free" Actually Means Here

Four Promises We Keep Every Single Issue

Ad-free content. Every page.

When you open Simplify, every word exists because it helps you, not because someone paid for placement. No sponsored posts. No affiliate links. No brand partnerships inside the magazine.

One payment, the whole library.

Every issue since 2017. Every future issue. No premium tier, no paywall on older content. No subscription. The entire archive.

No subscription. One payment.

We do not bill you monthly. We do not auto-renew. You pay once and receive every issue we publish for as long as we publish them. Since 2017, that's 36 issues and counting.

No tracking. No data selling.

We do not sell your email to "partners." We do not build behavioral profiles. You are a reader, not a product. The only emails you'll get are your quarterly issues.

What 300,000 Readers Say About Simplify

On the Ad-Free Promise

"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."

-- Ann

On the Reading Experience

"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."

-- Miriam

On Being Hooked

"Just read through first three issues in 5 hours! Great magazine! Counting the days until the next one!"

-- Christa

On Taking Action

"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!"

-- Sonia

On Lifetime Value

"Just read the first issue and signed up for the lifetime account. This came at the right and perfect time."

-- Debi

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."

-- Shawna

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really a one-time payment? No hidden fees?

Yes. $20 for the digital edition or $50 for digital + physical book. One payment. No subscription. No auto-renewal. No recurring charges. You pay once and get every issue we've ever published plus every issue we will ever publish.

How can you afford to charge so little?

Volume. With 300,000+ readers, we can keep the price low and still sustain the publication. We'd rather serve more people at $20 than fewer people at $97. Every page of the magazine is ad-free, so the content exists entirely for you, not for sponsors.

What does "lifetime access" actually mean? What happens if this magazine stops?

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. :)

What kind of topics do you cover?

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.

Do you offer a physical version of the magazine or is it completely digital?

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.

What if I don't like it? Can I get my money back?

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.

Who writes the articles?

Our contributors include well-known voices in minimalism, mental health professionals, relationship experts, and everyday people living intentionally. Past contributors include Gretchen Rubin, Nir Eyal, Peter Walsh, and dozens of subject-matter experts. Every article is curated to be practical, encouraging, and deeply relevant.

How often will I receive new issues?

New issues are released every quarter on March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1.

You risk nothing. The entire risk is on me.

A Simple Test of Integrity

When you're looking for help simplifying your life, the last thing you need is another expensive commitment. That's why we made a decision most publishers wouldn't:

A product about living with less should cost less.

Every page of Simplify Magazine is ad-free. Every word exists because it helps you, not because a sponsor paid for it. One payment gives you everything. No subscription. No renewal notices. No recurring charges.

300,000 readers already trust that we mean what we say. Every quarter, they get expert wisdom from people like Gretchen Rubin, Nir Eyal, and Peter Walsh. They pay nothing extra for it. They never will.

$20. One payment. Every issue. Forever.

That's not a marketing gimmick. It's a promise from someone who's spent a decade proving that less really is more.
