At 30 years old, close friends Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus left behind their successful professional careers, rid themselves of most of their material possessions, and they focused on what truly mattered to them. Minimalism is exactly that: ignoring superfluous things to make room for the important parts of life. In this book, they investigate their past clouded by the “American dream” and discuss how to become minimalists and focus on health, relationships, passions, and personal growth.
