This collection has been edited and organized to create an experience that's considerably different from reading individual selections online. From simple living, decluttering, and finances to passion, health, and relationships, Essential is for anyone who desires a more intentional life.

I enjoyed that wasn't a list of do's and don'ts but rather a series of stories, analogies and info that allows you to question the way you live and why you live it. This allowed me to apply minimalism more personally and critically analyse my life

Fantastic follow up to the The Minimalists, Live a meaningful life. Great advice from often very personal stories of Ryan and Joshua, thank you! Justin Malik is the perfect narrator, clear and easy to listen too. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to make small yet meaningful changes to their life.

A collection of essays on various topics. Easy to digest and apply. My most listened to book on this platform as it's a book you can easily pick up again and again and get something new out of it.

Practical and perfect format

This version is far better than the original. There's extra content and the narrator suits the vibe exponentially, he gets it. No disrespect to the English bloke but Justin Malik suits the whole Minimalists aesthetic.

I love listening to these articles while I'm driving, standing in line and just feeling like I want a deeper reminder of the possibility and true examples of living a simple and meaningful life. ' Everything that remains' was my favourite read on this topic but this is short snippets of a variety of topics all about how to weave minimalism into our daily life and relationships. Well done and Thank you for having the courage to share such a powerful and sincere message! Xxx
