Minimalism is the thing that gets us past the things that clutter our lives so we can make room for life's most important things - which actually aren't things at all. At age 30, best friends Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus walked away from their six-figure corporate careers, jettisoned most of their material possessions, and started focusing on what's truly important.

Story
Most of us know we own too much stuff. We feel the weight and burden of our clutter, and we tire of cleaning and managing and organizing. While excess consumption leads to bigger houses, faster cars, fancier technology, and cluttered homes, it never brings happiness. Rather, it results in a desire for more. It redirects our greatest passions to things that can never fulfill, and it distracts us from the very lives we wish we were living. But it doesn't have to be this way.

We are often on a quest for more, giving in to pressure every day to work more, own more, and do more. For Courtney Carver, this constant striving had to come to a stop when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Stress was like gasoline on the fire of her symptoms, and it became clear that she needed to root out the physical and psychological clutter that were the source of her debt and discontent. In this book, Carver shows us how to pursue practical minimalism so we can create more with less - more space, more time, and even more love.

Throughout most of evolution humans walked barefoot and slept on the ground, largely oblivious that the surface of the Earth contains limitless healing energy. Science has discovered this energy as free-flowing electrons constantly replenished by solar radiation and lightning. Few people know it, but the ground provides a subtle electric signal that maintains health and governs the intricate mechanisms that make our bodies work - just like plugging a lamp into a power socket makes it light up.

Story
As high achievers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we’re not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of “Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat”, we’re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much.

By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy - instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing - it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

Publisher's Summary
"The Minimalists show you how to disconnect from our conditioned material state and reconnect to our true essence: love people and use things. This is not a book about how to live with less, but about how to live more deeply and more fully." (Jay Shetty, number one New York Times best-selling author of Think Like a Monk)
As seen on the Netflix documentaries Minimalism and Less Is Now
This program is read by the authors
How might your life be better with less?
Imagine a life with less: less stuff, less clutter, less stress and debt and discontent - a life with fewer distractions. Now, imagine a life with more: more time, more meaningful relationships, more growth and contribution and contentment - a life of passion, unencumbered by the trappings of the chaotic world around you. What you’re imagining is an intentional life. And to get there, you’ll have to let go of some clutter that’s in the way.
In Love People, Use Things, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus move past simple decluttering to show how minimalism makes room to reevaluate and heal the seven essential relationships in our lives: stuff, truth, self, money, values, creativity, and people. They use their own experiences - and those of the people they have met along the minimalist journey - to provide a template for how to live a fuller, more meaningful life.
Because once you have less, you can make room for the right kind of more.

Minimalism is a Way of Life
Little did I know when I started to explore Minimalism many years ago with Joshua and Ryan, that I would really be changing my life for the better long term. The minimalist’s latest book does not disappoint. This book is so much more than decluttering your life of excess, it is about keeping a laser focus on what is truly important in life. Its about being the best version of yourself. Beautifully written and heartfelt. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for growth in any area of their life.

Taking it to the next level
After the declutter of your things, perhaps you want to take minimalisme to the next level, and for example want to declutter your relationships, health and find meaning in creativity. This book offers a perspective of that.
I follow the Minimalist, and I have read all their books, so some of the content in this book was not new to me, which was fine, while it had a debt, that I have been longing for. And I loved the openharted hornesty in their personal stories.

Audiobook was great-almost want it in print too.
Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this book. I love the mindset of the authors and the pointed questions, tips and tricks. I do a lot of this already, but hearing Josh and Ryan acknowledge their imperfections along the minimalist journey made it easy to forgive myself and keep trying to live a better, more intentional, and less cluttered life (mentally and physically).

Another GREAT from the Minimalist Duo!!
Preordered this one and was eager to listen...much more than I had imagined or had expected. Not another minimalist approach to clearing out the house of things but one of living more fully in every aspect of our lives. Shared experiences make it real, and do-able. But the big take away is reflection on what truly matters most in this path we call life. Perpetuates personal reflection and motivation towards our best self. Highly recommend!
