Love People, Use Things

The fourth book by Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, the pair known as the Minimalists, goes beyond decluttering to argue that minimalism makes room to rethink seven key relationships: with money, truth, values, creativity, the self, possessions and other people. The authors draw on their own lives and on people they have met through the minimalist movement to offer a model for a fuller and more meaningful life, with less clutter, stress and debt and more time and connection. Celadon published it in the United States and Canada in July 2021, with Hachette handling the British and Australian editions. It became a New York Times best seller.

Cal Newport endorsed it, praising it as an urgent manifesto for the shift from material things toward meaning and an important book for the present moment.
