If you search for "minimalism" in the Amazon Kindle store and sort by price from low to high, there are usually 2 to 3 books being offered for free at any given time.
I think showing anyone an episode of Hoarders or Hoarding: Buried Alive has a much more visceral impact, and some of these are available on Netflix. I do enjoy the public domain book, "How to Live in 24 hours a Day" which was written in the early 20th century.
Still, if they're comfortable with their clutter, and it's not really a problem, why try to change them?
I'm fond of everything by Samuel Smiles. He started writing Self-Help books in the 1850s, and it's all public domain. You can read virtually all of his works free on using the Amazon Kindle online reader.
> Who better to take inspirational advice from than a man named Smiles? But unlike the feel-good cheerleading that the term "self-help" says to us today, to Smiles it might well have been synonymous with "hard work." For this 1859 volume is dedicated to "stimulat[ing] youths to apply themselves diligently to right pursuits,--sparing neither labour, pains, nor self-denial in prosecuting them--and to rely upon their own efforts in life."
> Though the author himself admits his lessons are "old-fashioned but wholesome," he nevertheless delivers stern but well-intentioned lectures on such commonsense concepts as the importance of learning from failure, how work is the best teacher, and the value of thrift, gentility, and honesty, all peppered with examples of such noble industry from the lives of writers, scientists, artists, inventors, educators, philanthropists, missionaries, and--gulp!--martyrs. It's as if all paternal wisdom had been reduced to a single book.
