The Minimalists

The Minimalists are a movement and duo—often Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus—who promote simplifying life by focusing on what truly matters. They advocate decluttering possessions, reducing excess, and cutting out non-essential activities to gain clarity, freedom, and fulfillment. Their philosophy emphasizes quality over quantity, encouraging people to prioritize relationships, personal growth, and meaningful experiences over material accumulation. Through books, documentaries, and talks, they aim to help individuals find greater happiness and purpose by living intentionally with less.
