Episode 3459:

Joshua Fields Millburn demystifies minimalism by sharing that it’s not about radical deprivation but intentional living. By shedding excess and questioning possessions, he finds freedom to focus on health, relationships, and growth. He also challenges the notion of "cool," redefining it as authenticity and meaningful contribution rather than material possessions.

Quotes to ponder:

"Minimalism is a tool I use to get rid of unnecessary stuff and live a meaningful life a life filled with happiness, freedom, and conscious awareness."

"I constantly question possessions: Do I still need this? When is the last time I used this? Could someone use this more than me?"

"Being cool has nothing to do with the stuff I own and everything to do with the way I act, the way I treat other people, the way I contribute."
