Everything That Remains: A Memoir by The Minimalists

by Joshua Fields Millburn

You see, our televisions would have us believe there’s a battle being fought on the consumption continuum, a battle between messy hoarders on one side and spruce organizers on the other. And from our couches it’s hard to see who’s winning. I’d like to posit, however, that these two sides are actually working together, colluding to achieve the same thing: the accumulation of more stuff.

As a minimalist, every possession serves a purpose or brings me joy.
