About this listen

"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.

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!

Give this book a chance!

I would recommend this book to anyone.
This isn’t a book about how to clean out your closet, there are hundreds of those! This asks you, why? And how might your life be better with less? I know one thing... the clutter that is distracting me is taking away my time and attention and is absolutely draining my life. When looking for inspiration, I will listen to this all over again! Thanks Millburn and Nicodumus, this was time well spent.
