Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus call themselves the "minimalists". I was first intrigued by this book when it came out because I thought that given that we live in the age of excess, this would be an interesting read because it can be arguably a hard and almost difficult task. This book, however, turned out to be more than what I was expecting. It is not only a book that encourages us to think about what is important ultimately in our lives and asks us to shift away from merely materialist thinking.
The authors explore our relationships with materialistic possessions, truth, self, values, money, creativity, and people. My favourite chapters were "truth" and "self-care", both of which are important cultural currencies in the digital era where we can access news at our fingertips and are too busy to take care of ourselves.
I would be happy to recommend this book to anyone looking to recharge their lives!
