Summary
Minimalism is the thing that gets us past the things that clutter our lives 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 and 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 and Ryan, authors of the popular website TheMinimalists.com, 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 and 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.

Useful
Good, practical content. Helpful if you are starting out towards an uncluttered lifestyle. Ryan and Joshua clearly lay out what has worked for them.

I love the 5 values but…
I think religion/faith/spirituality is also important and add meaning to life. Great book :)

Is this minimalism?
Would you try another book written by Ryan Nicodemus and Joshua Fields Millburn or narrated by Justin Malik?
Maybe
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Well, I have not learned a lot but it had some good points.
What aspect of Justin Malik’s performance might you have changed?
It was a little bit monotonous, I felt that a robot was reading the text. I don't know exactly what was the issue, but I did not enjoy listening the audiobook.
Do you think Minimalism needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No I don't think so.
Any additional comments?
I felt that it had some useful life guidelines, but there was nothing which I could say was distinctively-minimalism. Many of these guidelines can be found in other books which are not related with minimalism.

Fantastic book, and fantastic concept.
The idea of living a meaningful life seemed like a cliche to me. However, listening to how they live their lives is rather inspiring. Definitely made me look at the things in my life I could shed. To be honest, I didn't think it would work, as I didn't go as extreme as Ryan and Josh. That being said, I feel clear now. Having what you need is brilliant. And I never lose my keys anymore! Recommend this book 100%!

Key to true happines
This book will help you identify the key to true happiness which you can slowly progress to by taking steps described in the book.
it's a good listen and definitely worth to listen more than once. I have already watched documentary by the same guys about minimalism, so I kind of new what to expect.
it will be eye-opening for people who never stepped into the life of minimalistic thinking at least. I wish whole world would live like this.
The book is narrated With swift approach, but good.

Wonderfully life changing
We all know the things that are said in this book already. The key difference is we don’t necessarily do those things, listen and be inspired.
