LOVE PEOPLE, USE THINGS Because the Opposite Never Works

The Minimalists invite listeners to go beyond the clutter and look for deeper meaning in the saying that "less is more." Joshua Millburn's tone is sincere and self-effacing as he shares hard truths from his personal life and discusses how our relationships with "stuff" directly affect our relationships with ourselves and others. As Ryan Nicodemus cheerfully chimes in with his deep, matter-of-fact bass to provide journaling exercises, it becomes clear that this is a proactive self-improvement manual, rather than an empty feel-good experience. It could have been more impactful had Nicodemus shared more of his personal journey in his own voice rather than relying on Millburn, but overall this a satisfying guide to the spiritual as well as the practical perks of living with less.
