Love People, Use Things
by Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus
The Minimalists' most complete book: seven relationships, with stuff, truth, self, values, money, creativity and people, and how clutter in each crowds out life. It is broader than decluttering and includes their own difficult histories. The title is the thesis.
Read it if…
you want minimalism as a whole-life philosophy, not a closet project.
Skip it if…
you want a quick declutter; this is reflective.
Three things you will actually use
- Love people, use things; the reverse never works.
- Clutter is not only physical.
- Values first; possessions follow.
Do this first
Do the 30-day minimalism game with a friend: one item on day one, two on day two, and so on.
Our verdict
Broad and reflective.
