"The Minimalists show you how to disconnect from our conditioned material state and reconnect to our true essence: love people and use things. This is not a book about how to live with less, but about how to live more deeply and more fully."―Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Like a MonkAS SEEN ON THE NETFLIX DOCUMENTARIES MINIMALISM & LESS IS NOWHow might your life be better with less?Imagine a life with less: less stuff, less clutter, less stress and debt and discontent―a life with fewer distractions. Now, imagine a life with more: more time, more meaningful relationships, more growth and contribution and contentment―a life of passion, unencumbered by the trappings of the chaotic world around you. What you’re imagining is an intentional life. And to get there, you’ll have to let go of some clutter that’s in the way. In Love People, Use Things, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus move past simple decluttering to show how minimalism makes room to reevaluate and heal the seven essential relationships in our lives: stuff, truth, self, money, values, creativity, and people. They use their own experiences―and those of the people they have met along the minimalist journey―to provide a template for how to live a fuller, more meaningful life.Because once you have less, you can make room for the right kind of more.

In his thought-provoking book, "Love People, Use Things: Because the Opposite Never Works", Joshua Fields Millburn delves into the profound impact our relationship with material possessions has on our lives. Millburn argues that the pursuit of acquiring and accumulating more material goods often leads us down a path of discontent, disconnection, and ultimately, unhappiness.

Millburn challenges the conventional wisdom that equates happiness with material wealth and consumption. He asserts that true happiness lies not in the accumulation of things, but rather in the cultivation of meaningful relationships, experiences, and personal growth. Drawing upon his own journey towards minimalism and simplicity, Millburn offers readers a practical and inspiring guide to declutter their lives, both physically and mentally, in order to make way for deeper connections and a more fulfilling existence.

Millburn's writing is characterized by its honesty, humor, and unwavering commitment to authenticity. He openly shares his own struggles with consumerism and materialism, providing readers with a relatable and vulnerable perspective. Millburn's ability to weave personal anecdotes, philosophical insights, and practical advice into a cohesive narrative makes "Love People, Use Things" a compelling and transformative read.

At the heart of Millburn's message is the belief that we are not defined by the things we own. He encourages readers to question the cultural norms that perpetuate the idea that our worth is somehow tied to our possessions. Millburn argues that by embracing minimalism and focusing on what truly matters, we can break free from the cycle of consumerism and discover the path to lasting contentment.

"Love People, Use Things" is not just a book about decluttering or minimalism. It is an exploration of what it means to live a meaningful and purposeful life. Millburn's insights into the nature of happiness, human connection, and personal growth make this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking to live a more fulfilling life, regardless of their level of material possessions.
