EP283: Joshua Fields Millburn Discusses Why Less is (Still) More

Exciting news! The Minimalists' first documentary, Minimalism, is coming to YouTube and Minimalism.com on June 18, 2023. The documentary has been viewed over 80 million times on Netflix since its release in 2016.

For those of you who haven't seen the documentary, it examines the simple lives of minimalists from all walks of life—families, architects, artists, scientists, journalists, entrepreneurs, and even a former Wall Street broker. These individuals share their stories of how they've learned to live more meaningfully with less.

Today, Joshua Fields Millburn, one half of The Minimalists, joins me to discuss:

Why they have chosen a new home for their first documentary. (3:45)

How the documentary gets to the heart of consumption. (4:57)

How Joshua maintains a minimalism mindset? (6:30)

Our wholeness is found outside of material possessions. (11:35)

Have we become a less consumeristic society? (14:00)

How Joshua deems what is priority. (17:02)

A word of encouragement for parents. (19:15)

What does the future of minimalism look like? (22:10)
