"Like Henry David Thoreau, but with Wi-Fi." -Boston Globe What if everything you ever wanted isn't what you actually want? Twenty-something, suit-clad, and upwardly mobile, Joshua Fields Millburn thought he had everything anyone could ever want. Until he didn't anymore. Blindsided by the loss of his mother and his marriage in the same month, Millburn started questioning every aspect of the life he had built for himself. Then, he accidentally discovered a lifestyle known as minimalism...and everything started to change. That was four years ago. Since, Millburn, now 32, has embraced simplicity. In the pursuit of looking for something more substantial than compulsory consumption and the broken American Dream, he jettisoned most of his material possessions, paid off loads of crippling debt, and walked away from his six-figure career. So, when everything was gone, what was left? Not a how-to book but a why-to book, Everything That Remains is the touching, surprising story of what happened when one young man decided to let go of everything and begin living more deliberately. Heartrending, uplifting, and deeply personal, this engrossing memoir is peppered with insightful (and often hilarious) interruptions by Ryan Nicodemus, Millburn's best friend of twenty years.

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.

At 30, Joshua Fields Millburn abandoned his lucrative career and most of his belongings to prioritize life's essential aspects. Embracing minimalism transformed his life, and he has never regretted his decision.

As Jody Grafton's life unravels at nearly thirty, he faces the collapse of his music career, a cancer diagnosis for his mother, and a divorce, leading him to heavy drinking and a suicide attempt. A call from his estranged girlfriend reveals she's pregnant, prompting Jody to seek answers and healing in Brooklyn while confronting his past.

Weniger ist mehr Stellen wir uns ein Leben mit »weniger« vor: weniger Sachen, weniger Stress, weniger Ablenkung, weniger Unzufriedenheit. Und jetzt mit einem »Mehr« an: Zeit, sinnstiftenden Beziehungen, innerem Wachstum, Zufriedenheit. Minimalisten wie Joshua Fields Millburn und Ryan Nicodemus konzentrieren sich darauf, Raum für mehr zu schaffen – um sieben grundlegende Beziehungen in unserem Leben neu bewerten und heilen zu können: die zur Wahrheit, zu Dingen, zum Selbst, zu Geld, Werten, Kreativität und vor allem zu anderen Menschen. Sie veranschaulichen das mit Geschichten, anregenden Fragen und Übungen. So verstehen wir, wie wir schädliche Verhaltensmuster beseitigen und Beziehungen besser pflegen können.

“Minimalist olmak için yüzden daha az şeyle yaşamalısınız ve arabanız, eviniz ya da televizyonunuz olamaz, bir kariyeriniz de. Tüm dünyadaki egzotik yerlerde yaşayabilmelisiniz ve bir blog yazmak zorundasınız. Çocuklarınız olamaz ve ayrıcalıklı bir geçmişi olan elit, genç bir adam olmalısınız.” Tamam, şaka yapıyoruz… Bu kitabın arka kapak yazısını yazabilmek için çok düşündük. Vurgulamak istediğimiz o kadar çok şey vardı ki hepsini yazamayacağımıza karar verdik. En iyisi mi siz kitabı okuyun. The Minimalists’in minimalizm yolculuğu ve yaşamları hakkında daha fazlası için Netflix’te yayınlanan belgeselini izleyebilirsiniz. Önemli Not: Eşyalarınızı düzenlemenin en iyi yolu çoğundan kurtulmaktır. Eğer bu kitabı yasalara aykırı bir şekilde indirdiyseniz ya da basılmış hâlini bir kütüphane ya da benzeri bir yerden çaldıysanız ayıp size! Ama en azından yürüttüğünüz kopyayı bir arkadaşınız, düşmanınız ya da içinde yazanlardan faydalanabilecek herhangi biriyle paylaşın bari.

Was und vor allem wieviel braucht es, um ein erfülltes Leben zu führen? Ein Haus, ein Auto, ein Boot? Joshua Fields Millburn und Ryan Nicodemus hatten all das, dafür mussten sie aber auch auf vieles verzichten: freie Zeit für Freunde und sich selbst, Aufmerksamkeit für die eigene Gesundheit, Freiraum für vernachlässigte Leidenschaften. Nach und nach haben sie ihr Leben umgestellt und durften erfahren, dass es nicht viel für ein glückliches Leben braucht. Anhand von fünf Säulen – Gesundheit, Beziehungen, Leidenschaften, inneres Wachstum und die Bereitschaft, zeigen sie ihren Weg zu einem bedeutungsvolleren, erfüllten Leben und wie man tatsächlich mit weniger mehr vom Leben haben kann. Dabei geben sie keine klassischen Tipps zum Entrümpeln – die gibt es schon viel zu oft – sondern zeigen, wie man sich sanft einem minimalistischen, reduzierten Lebensstil annähern kann, um Raum für die wirklich wichtigen Dinge zu schaffen.
