Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus in their two Netflix documentaries give a message of living a life with less stuff, less clutter, less stress, lest debt, less discontent and a life with fewer distractions. They've helped over 20 million people live meaningful lives with less via their website, books, podcast, and Netflix films. They call themselves the minimalists. In these documentaries they talk about their own life journey and how they became minimalists.

  • Do we accumulate stuff or possessions to impress others?
  • Are we attached to things? 
  • Do materials bring us pleasure? 
  • Are we filling voids within ourselves by buying?
  • Is social media and advertisement responsible for making us collect more?

Simmi, Kiki and Manju discuss Joshua and Ryan's message in this podcast, exploring some the questions listed above. They reflect on their own buying habits and how watching the documentaries have made them think a little more before making a new purchase.

Guess how much money we would save if hadn’t bought things that we don’t really need? If we lived in a smaller house and possessed less things? Being a minimalist can provide life with more time, more meaningful relationships, more growth, contribution and contentment.

Each possession must serve a purpose, add value to our lives and give us joy.

Let’s start consuming less and living more!
