Publisher Description
What if everything you ever wanted isn't what you actually want? Twenty-something, suit-clad, and upwardly mobile, Joshua Fields Millburn thought he had everything anyone could ever want. Until he didn't anymore.
Blindsided by the loss of his mother and his marriage, Millburn started questioning the life he had built for himself.
Then he discovered minimalism...and everything started to change.
Four years later, Millburn had embraced simplicity. In the search for something more substantial than compulsory consumption and the broken American dream, he jettisoned most of his material possessions, paid off loads of crippling debt, and walked away from his six-figure career.
Once everything was gone, what was left? Not a how-to book but a why-to book, Everything That Remains is the touching, surprising story of what happened when one young man decided to let go of everything and begin living more deliberately. Heart-rending, uplifting, and deeply personal, this engrossing memoir is peppered with insightful interruptions by Ryan Nicodemus, Millburn's best friend of 20 years.
Customer Reviews
A life changer.
These two guys have definitely changed my outlook on life and have added tremendous value to it. I stumbled upon their documentary about minimalism on Netflix about a year ago. A year later, after accumulating a load of stuff as a result of loneliness following my big move to the city and separation from my then 4 year relationship, my life needed a change, now. I opened my podcast app (something I hadn't done yet, ever) and downloaded an episode of the Minimalists. I fell in love with these guys. Their advice really resonated with me. I knew I had A LOT of work to do. These two helped me through tough times. Although I can't say i'm the perfect minimalist (FAR from it) I do want to live a more meaningful life. I'm working on it! Thank you such much! It's been a pleasure listening to this audiobook. I STRONGLY recommend it to all! Again, thank you. Sincerely, Marie-France Grenier - Montréal (Canada)
