Minimalism: Live a Meaningful Life

by Joshua Fields Millburn

Minimalism is the thing that gets us past the things so we can make room for life's most important things - which actually aren't things at all.

At age 30, best friends Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus walked away from their six-figure corporate careers, jettisoned most of their material possessions, and started focusing on what's truly important.

In their debut book, Joshua & Ryan, authors of the popular website "The Minimalists", explore their troubled pasts and descent into depression. Though they had achieved the American Dream, they worked ridiculous hours, wastefully spent money, and lived paycheck to paycheck. Instead of discovering their passions, they pacified themselves with ephemeral indulgences - which only led to more debt, depression, and discontent.

After a pair of life-changing events, Joshua & Ryan discovered minimalism, allowing them to eliminate their excess material things so they could focus on life's most important "things": health, relationships, passion, growth, and contribution.

I fortuitously stumbled upon the concept of minimalism. The following images show how I reached here.








I think that it will be befitting to review this book in a minimalistic way.

This is one of the best books on minimalism. Just go for it. You won't be disappointed.

Although I don't have a million possessions, I'm always looking for ways to simplify and make life easier, which is why I sometimes read these types of books. I should admit that I am more than a little skeptical of those able to quit their jobs and then make money telling the rest of us how to simplify. This book was very focused on their story and in addition to that, it offered tips on how to live a more meaningful life by basically explaining how they did that. It was far more focused on meaningful life than it was on minimalism.

In theory the ideas sounded good (let go of your need to have certainty in your life so you can pursue your true passion), but realistically, most of us cannot walk away from a job that supports our family by "removing the anchor of certainty."

Many (or perhaps all) chapters started out with: "Imagine winning the lottery, getting in the best shape of your life, paying off all your debt, moving into your dream home (on the beach, of course), and not needing to work another day in your life." Perhaps the biggest issue I have with the book is that the above described life would have been my dream life or what I would have perceived as my dream life when I was 25. At 45, I have very different opinions about what is meaningful. Also, I can't shake the feeling that these two are doing the grownup version of backpacking through Europe after graduating college...nor do I believe for a second that they write a widely popular blog but they do not have Internet at home. Really!?

This is supposed to be a book how living a minimalist lifestyle. It's actually more about how to live a meaningful life. Or, as the actual title should be, How to Live a Meaningful Life According to Joshua and Ryan.

As much as the author's overall ideas on how to change your life are just fine (and very pat), this book has way too much I in it. I used to have a good job. I used to have a huge house! I used to manage lots of people. I now own a house on the beach. I now volunteer. I now can do 100 pull-ups. I now write every morning... and on. And on.

Mediocre writers use their own life experiences to explain their point.
Good writers can explain their points without using their life as an example.
Great writers can explain their points while using examples from their life - either because their life is interesting, or because they are a great writer (or a bit of both).

Fields-Millburn and Nicodemus are not good writers. They are passable writers.

This is a pat, overly hyped, and shallow book. There are far better books (and blogs) on minimalism out there, don't bother with this one unless you'd like a stilted memoir of the two authors.

مینیمالیسم ابزاری برای حذف غیر ضروریات زندگی، تمرکز روی ضروریات و دستیابی به شادی، رضایت و آزادی است.

کتاب مینیمالیسم درباره‌ی عدم مصرف‌گرایی، چگونگی کشف مینیمالیسم، تاثیرش بر کیفیت زندگی.

Two wealthy white guys tell you to exercise more regularly, give up gluten and quit your job to focus on your "passions". They also talk a lot about how they can now do 100 push-ups and wake up at 5am to write. Minimalism is discussed, minimally, on two occasions, the latter referring you on to a link to their blog. Best decluttering tip I've learned from this book is not to buy it.

[Paul · Rating 1 out of 5]

The title is misleading as very little of this book has to do with minimalism. It should've been called "The Five Values" as the authors spend more time talking about their eating habits, exercise routines and how many people visit their blog than minimalism. It is a very self-centered book (be prepared to hear how much they were earning and how brave they were to give it all up again and again) with most paragraphs being littered with URL links to their own blog for "further reading". The authors provide simple answers to hard and complex questions offering solutions without providing much information on how such things were cultivated other than dropping your television from a rooftop? For a superior books on minimalism (and books actually written about minimalism) I recommend Marie Kondo's sensitive and graciously written "the life-changing magic of tidying up" and Fumio Sasaki's "Goodbye, things".

[Joanna K · Rating 1 out of 5]

Unfortunately this isn't a book for those of us who can't quit our jobs to pursue our passions because we need the benefits that come with our full-time jobs. I see their point that we should try to pare down the things that drag us down in life. But the world would be a pretty lousy place if we all dropped everything and followed our passions. Nobody has a passion to be a garbage man, or a tax collector. But we need those people.

I would love to see a book about minimalism that shows how to live a meaningful life in spite of needing to stay in a 9-5 lifestyle.

یه عنوان جاودانه

همیشه فکر میکنم خودمو چطوری معرفی کنم. با چه لقب و عنوانی. طوری که خودِ خودِ خودم باشم بدون هیچ گونه تعلق و وابستگی. طوری که اگه یه روزی همه اون عناوین و ازم گرفتن یا خودم گذاشتمشون کنار، بازم هویتم مشخص و مستقل باشه. همون طور که سالها قبل عناوین دهن پرکنی داشتم که الان دیگه ندارم.
مثلاً یه مهندس ، یه ارشد ، یه دانشجوی یه جای خفن، یه کارمند یه جای خفن، یه دنبال کارآفرینی ، یه عکاس ، یه هنردوست ، یه هنرمند ، یه دنبال حقایق عالم هستی ، یه ورزشکار، یه زن، یه همسر، یه... یه... یه چی؟
چی منو مستقل و شفاف و کامل معرفی می کنه. طوری که نه به زمان، نه به مکان و نه به شخص و اشخاص خاصی مربوط بشم
هنوز به قطعیت نرسیدم
ولی یه چیزو مطمئنم. اینکه من همون چیزی هستم که می اندیشم. اما اینو خودم میدونم. برای معرفی به بقیه باید از چه عنوان یا عناوینی استفاده کنم. باید عناوین جاودانه باشن، نه موقت و عاریه ای!

این متن یکی از دغدغه های من بود که حدود 5 سال پیش نوشته بودمش

چرا الان اینجا آوردم؟
خب امشب اتفاقی توی بینهایت طاقچه چشمم خورد به کتاب" مینیمالیسم: ساده گرایی و زندگی با معنا" و چون صوتی بود و حجمش کم بود حساب کتاب کردم با سرعت 1.5 برابر حدود 2 ساعت اینا طول می کشید. برای همین برای استراحت مغز گوشش دادم

یه جایی از این کتاب در مورد گره زدن هویت هامون به کار و فعالیت و شرکتها و سازمانها و ... مطالبی اومده بود

اولین باری که با اصطلاح مینیمالیست آشنا شدم وقتی بود که استاد شفایی واسه درس تئوری های مدیریت یه سری عنوان معلوم کرد تا هر جلسه بیایم و ارائه بدیم. موضوع من این بود
small is beautiful
کوچک زیباست

یه اقتصاد دادن آلمانی بود به نام ارنست شوماخر. ایشون اومد و نظریه کوچک زیباست رو درحوزه صنعت و اقتصاد مطرح کرد. یه کتابم به همین نام نوشت و این شد که توجه همه به جای شرکتهای غول پیکر و ادغام و اتصال به انفصال و ابعاد کوچیکتر توی همه چیز جلب شد
اون توی صنعت و اقتصاد بود ولی میشه به همه ابعاد زندگی تعمیم داد

طبق تعاریفی که جنابان نویسنده های این کتاب مطرح کردن حتمن منم یه مینیمالیست هستم

اصلن در گیر و دار این نیستم که بگم کتابش خوبه یا بد. یا ضعیف بود یا فلان نگرشش غلط بود. خیلی از بخشهای کتابو زندگی کردم. خیلی از عقایدم همینا بوده همیشه. همیشه هم برای همه عجیب غریب و حل نشدنی بودم
اما هیچوقتم فکر نکردم این یه سبک زندگی ای هست که باید به همه تسری بدم
کلن از اینایی که لایف استایل شونو تبلیغ می کنن زیاد خوشم نمیاد

این همه اطلاعات در مورد این همه راه و روش زندگی همه جای جهان ریخته
هر کسی کافیه یه ذره فکر کنه و بفهمه کدوم راه و روش براش مناسب تره

من کی هستم که قراره برای بقیه نسخه بپیچم؟
کی گفته مینیمال بودن خوبه

حالا چون من این مدلی زندگی مو چیدم و پیش می برم باید همه مثل من باشن؟
فکر نکنم

اگه دوست داشتین کتابو بخونید
شاید با نگرش شما هم همراستا بود یا برای یه چیزایی بهتون دید بهتری داد

ولی باز ذهنم درگیر دغدغه هویت جاودانه شد
واقعا باید با چه عنوانی خودمو به بقیه معرفی کنم؟ طوری که معرف من زهره باشه!!نمیدونم
حتی اسمم هم عاریه س. زمانی روی من گذاشته شده که من کمترین درک و شعوری نداشتم. پس نمی تونه معرف من باشه


small is beautiful

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

I was probably 13 or 14 when I first read those words by Thoreau.
I was instantly smitten.
Not just with Thoreau (although I can admit to a type of historical/philosophical/literary crush), but with the whole concept. Somewhere it implanted itself within me and affirmed in me the need for solitude, the longing for a log cabin somewhere, the joy of taking walks through the woods and just observing, listening-- wholly taking in everything around me.

The concepts in this book aren't new. I think we've all read or heard about them before.
But sometimes the timing of a book is just ... "right."
Perhaps it's January in Wisconsin.
Perhaps it's the beginning of a new year.
Perhaps it's the realization that none of us are getting any younger and time is fleeting.
And what will we have to show for it (of any lasting value) at the end?

There were times it chafed at me. Simply because it seems it would be a whole lot easier for two 30-year-old single guys to chuck everything, pare down their lives, pursue their passions, and move to a cabin in Montana.
Couldn't we all be so lucky...?
Some of us have other responsibilities, other people depending on us ... which would make such a move selfish at best.
I will say that I have found the blog posts from their website, The Minimalists, of more relevance and benefit than the whole of this book, but I still have to give it 4 stars. Simply because it resonated within me.

So, I take from their words and ideas things which I can implement in my life here. That I may "live deliberately."

De la sección de libros que agradezco no haber comprado, este libro que no es más malo, porque no es más largo.

La historia de dos yupis millonarios, blancos y cisgénero que descubren como seguir siendo blancos, millonarios y cisgénero; dando consejos obvios... un libro con un milímetro de profundidad que deja muy mal parada una idea que a mi gusto se me hace interesante.

Went to see these two speak in Des Moines and being a maximalist, I ended up buying two of their books. I check out their web site once a week or so and I enjoy reading their posts more than I enjoyed reading this book. It's probably just because I'm getting old, but I don't like young whippersnappers explaining the things they've figured out so far. Talk to me in 20 years boys.

رویکرد کلی کتاب نسبت به حدف اضافیات و ساده‌تر کردن زندگی خوب بود
اما همونطور که میگه ما نسبت به یه سری از چیزها زنجیر شدیم و راه ساده‌ای نیست که بخوایم ازشون رهایی پیدا کنیم
بیشتر یاد کتاب‌های انگیزشی زرد افتادم که حتما باید یه اقدام بزرگی انجام بدیم و یه دید کاملا متفاوتی ایجاد کنیم تا تغییر دیده بشه.

در کل از دیدی که میداد خوشم اومد
ایده کلیش درباره حذف اضافیات توی هر جنبه از زندگیه و خب جالب به نظر میرسه
سعی میکنم توی ماه های آینده بعضی از پیشنهاداش رو عملی کنم تا ببینم چی میشه
اما درمورد عادات غذایی یا یه سری موارد دیگه فکر میکنم یکم افراطی بود دیدگاهش

This was a re-read for me! After finishing this book I had some problems rating it.

On the one hand, I loved the chapters on having meaningful relationships and pursuing your passion without letting your anchors hold you back.

On the other hand I really disliked the chapter on health, because a lot of scientifically incorrect information was presented. Another big gripe I have with this book is that, despite the title, it is not about minimalism! A better title would have been ‘The Five Values’ or ‘How To Live A Meaningful Life’. Minimalism in the sense of minimizing your possessions etc, is only mentioned in a few sentences throughout the book.

Nevertheless, this book inspired me to take a closer look at what and whom I spend my time on, and I will most likely re-read it in the future to let the information really sink in.

Uzun bir süre önce, 'Minimalizm: Önemli Şeylere Dair Bir Belgesel' isimli bir belgesel izlemiştim. Belgesel de iki adam vardı ve inanılmaz mutlu görünüyorlardı. Altı rakamlı maaşlarını bırakıp, fazla eşyalarından kurtulmuş ve anlamlı bir yaşam arayışına girmişlerdi..
Mutlu olmanın yolu gerçekten bu şekilde mi yaşamaktı? Başlangıç olarak hemen kalkıp nadiren giydiğim eşyaları dolabımdan çıkardım. Gömleklerim sıkış sıkış
görünmüyordu ve onlara gerçekten ihtiyacım yoktu. Bu biraz olsun beni mutlu etmişti.

Anlamlı bir hayat yaşamak demek ne demekti?

1-Sağlık; unutmayın ne kadar para kazanırsanız kazanın, sağlığımız yoksa hiçbir şeyimiz yoktur.
2-İlişkiler; mutlaka hayatınıza etki eden kişilerinin hayatınıza ne kadar etki ettiğini düşünüp ilişkilerinizi sınıflandırın.
3-Tutkular; ne olursa olsun hayatta 'tutku' duyacağınız bir şeyler bulun.
4-Gelişim; büyük sıçrayışlar halinde de olsa, tavşan adımlarıyla da olsa mutluka kendinizi geliştirin.
5-Katkı; kendinize, çevrenize katkılı olmaya çalışın.

Sonra bu konu hakkında kitapları olduğunu araştırdım. Türkçe'ye çevrilmemişti. Şu anda #eksikparça yayınlarından çevirisi yapıldı. Tabi ki hemen alıp okumaya başladım. Okurken notlar aldım. Bazı aldığım notları sizinle paylaşmak istedim.

Uygulayıp uygulamamak sizlere kalmış.

*Eşyalarınızı düzenlemenin en iyi yolu çoğundan kurtulmaktır.
*Hayatımızı değiştirecek olan şey harekete geçmektir.
*Eğer şu kadar para kazanırsak mutlu olabiliriz formülü yanlıştır.
*Bu dünyada sınırlı bir zamanımız var. Durmaksızın maddi varlık peşinde koşmak anlamlı bir yaşam getirmiyor.
*Hatıralar içimizdedir, eşyalarda değil. Eski fotoğraflar taranabilir.

Gerçekten siz anlamlı bir yaşam mı sürüyorsunuz?

Şimdi zincirlerimizi oluşturmanın, var olan ilişkilerimizi gözden geçirmenin, harcamalarımızın nereye gittiğini hesaplamanın tam zamanı!

The book should be titled "Quit your job and live like a hipster."

I am all for living minimally (which I already do) but the "tips" in this book are lacking depth. It's a great book for anyone who doesn't think for themselves or lacks common sense. I skimmed through the first 20 -30 pages as it was all common sense, exercise, eat healthy, keep great relationships, etc.

Most of the help in this book is quite biased. They lost all credibility when they started to push their vegetarian and gluten-free diets on the readers. We haven't come this far in human evolution by being herbivores. Meat is an important part of the human diet. No person should completely omit meat from their diet. It's more beneficial to consume less with smaller portions. If your argument is animal cruelty, well news flash, science has recently discovered plants have feeling too.

[Hannah - The BookSirens Babe · Rating 2 out of 5]

I wish I had read the reviews on Goodreads before picking this book up. I’m a huge fan of minimalism in design, and I hope to practice it someday in life. The book, though, is not so much about minimalism but about the two authors sharing their views about how to live a meaningful life. The book also fails to connect with me because all I read was the authors going I did this, I have that, I left this. To me, that instantly leads to a disconnect, which leads to me losing all interest in the book.

[BookishStitcher · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very simple book, but it had a lot of thought provoking things. It does not talk a lot about minimalism or how to become one. So the title might not be the best. I'm already a minimalist, so I didn't need a how to. The parts about 5 values that are important in life really spoke to me. There are a couple of these I need to focus on.

New (& improved?) Review:

I think that many of my friends would consider me to be somewhat of a minimalist. Not in any calculated or philosophical sense of the word, but rather from the perspective that I don’t have a lot of junk (at least not in plain sight). I however know the truth. Inspite of the perceived lack of junk laying around I am just as enmeshed in the consumerist culture of the United States as most people. I have recognized this for a while now but have never actively or formally addressed it. I’ve never tried to remove myself from it’s grasp.

For example, as my income has gone up, so has my debt which as the author’s state does not make a ton of sense. How horrifying would this fact be to most people on this planet? Coming across the Minimalists blog and their book has given me the push that I need to make a change both philosophically and in practice. I haven’t followed the same methods the Minimalists have recommended or took themselves. For example, I didn’t need feel the need to pack my entire house. But prior to starting the book in earnest, I started minimial-izing first in my bathroom followed by my bedroom. All in all I gathered 33 shirts, 7 sweaters, 10 pairs of pants/jeans, and 5 pairs of shoes for donation. Not bad for an initial first pass. I found it surprising that I had that many clothes to begin with, but I was even more surprised that I had that many unused clothes. After the bedroom I moved on and started cleaning out some old paperwork but have yet to get much farther. Though I do have a couple of closets in my crosshairs.

The book and guiding philosophy of minimalism, as espoused by The Minimalists, is more than simply cleaning out all of your crap. It's really about living a more meaningful life, ridding yourself of the distractions of consumerism and changing your habits to make you a better person. So far, I have taken the first few of many steps towards this end. I’ve done so not only by cleaning out, but by also questioning purchases and consumerist impulses that I would have never questioned before. The journey may be long and may have its setbacks but I expect to emerge a better and more productive person.

I hope that means it will give me the time and energy to read 100 books a year.



Original Review:

Who doesn't need to simplify their lives?

I discovered the Minimalists blog on Friday, and found that this book was available through the Kindle Lending Library and scooped it up. It's a quick and easy read, though in need of some editing that focuses on improving your life by means of simplification and minimalism.

It's less about the practical means by which to do so, but you can't find much of that on their blog for free. Was I inspired to take action, simplify and improve my life? In a word, yes. Yesterday I cleaned out a bunch of clothes gathering 33 shirts, 7 sweaters, 10 pairs of jeans/pants and 5 pairs of shoes for donation. I plan to continue reading their blog seeking out the more practical advice. I am betting that if I could simplify other things in my life it would be a lot easier for me to read more and think more.

DNF at 35 pages, just could not get past the whole ‘give up sugar and anything processed’ it felt so judgy to me and I was kind of enjoying it up to that point but it made me not want to listen to anything else they had to say.
I feel like this was written for themselves rather than other people, talking about their dream life and their bad pasts and all that which of course, yeah write about if that’s what you wanna do. But it’s not what I wanted to read, will find another book on meaningful life that doesn’t make me give up bread, thanks though 🙄

This is indeed minimalistic book about minimalism - the subject is present only in first and last chapter. Better title for this book should be "How Joshua and Ryan have changed their lives". I was excited from the first chapter and bought the rest of the book, which I've found disappointing at the end. This is not author's fault, I've just had different expectation.

Ganz viel "wir" "wir" wir" wir"..... An der Lebensgeschichte der beiden bin ich eigentlich nicht interessiert. Ich empfand es mehr als Lebensratgeber (dabei aber sehr allgemein und simpel gehalten). Habe etwas anderes erwartet und kann nichts davon "mitnehmen". Ein Stern gibts fürs Cover welches mir sehr gut gefällt.

This is a self-help book, and like many self-help books, it's going to tell you a lot of things you already know. It's probably more useful for people looking for motivation, not revelation. Also, it seems to describe some eastern philosophy and ideas, but applied to a western consumer mindset.

[Eddard Hordas · Rating 4 out of 5]

El Minimalismo no trata de vivir con pocas cosas como la mayoría cree. Trata, más que nada, de vivir sin aquello que estorba (anclas), y esto aplica no solamente a cosas materiales, también a aspectos de la personalidad, metas sin sentido, compañeros de trabajo, familiares, amistades, relaciones amorosas, deudas, trabajos o actividades que no dejan provecho alguno en la vida. Los escritores, Joshua y Ryan, explican que su ideología del Minimalismo gira en torno a 5 valores principales: pasión (aquello que amamos hacer), relaciones (personas que fomentan buenos valores y metas productivas en nosotros), salud (bienestar físico basado en el ejercicio y la alimentación), crecimiento personal (desarrollo emocional mediante el cumplimiento de metas a corto y largo plazo) y ayudar a los demás (darle la mano a quien lo necesite de manera desinteresada).

No es una novela, no es un libro de superación personal. Lo veo a manera de ensayo sobre como una vida sencilla, pero significativa, es posible, y que cada persona tiene diferentes circunstancias y enfoques dependido de varios factores personales. Porque, a fin de cuentas, todos buscamos lo mismo: una vida con sentido. Pero hay muchas maneras de lograrlo, no hay una receta establecida, cada persona debe describirlo por su propio esfuerzo y experiencia.

Hayatınızı daha anlamlı kılan beş değere (sağlık,ilişkiler,tutkular,gelişim,katkı) ulaşma ve bu süreçte minimalizmden faydalanmayı anlatıyor Joshua F. Millburn ve Ryan Nicodemus.Evet bilinmeyen şeylerden bahsetmiyorlar,akademik bir dil de kullanmıyorlar..Ancak kendi hayatlarına uyguladıkları şeyleri,açıklıkla paylaşmaları kitabı okunabilir ve cazip kılıyor..Önerdikleri çözümler ise karmaşık ve fazla çaba gerektirmiyor ki bu da bir diğer artısı olarak değerlendirilebilir.
