Everything that remains
A Memoir by The Minimalists
Book • 2014
This memoir tells the story of Joshua Fields Millburn, who, after losing his mother and his marriage in the same month, began to question the life he had built.
He discovered minimalism and, over four years, jettisoned most of his material possessions, paid off significant debt, and left his six-figure career.
The book is a heartrending, uplifting, and deeply personal account of his journey, interspersed with insightful and often humorous comments from his best friend, Ryan Nicodemus.
It focuses on the 'why' of minimalism rather than the 'how,' exploring themes of simplicity, consumerism, and finding true fulfillment.
