About this listen
What if everything you ever wanted isn't what you actually want? Twenty-something, suit-clad, and upwardly mobile, Joshua Fields Millburn thought he had everything anyone could ever want. Until he didn't anymore.
Blindsided by the loss of his mother and his marriage, Millburn started questioning the life he had built for himself.
Then he discovered minimalism...and everything started to change.
Four years later, Millburn had embraced simplicity. In the search for something more substantial than compulsory consumption and the broken American dream, he jettisoned most of his material possessions, paid off loads of crippling debt, and walked away from his six-figure career.
Once everything was gone, what was left? Not a how-to book but a why-to book, Everything That Remains is the touching, surprising story of what happened when one young man decided to let go of everything and begin living more deliberately. Heart-rending, uplifting, and deeply personal, this engrossing memoir is peppered with insightful interruptions by Ryan Nicodemus, Millburn's best friend of 20 years.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 49
Imagine a life with less: less stuff, less clutter, less stress and debt and discontent - a life with fewer distractions. Now, imagine a life with more: more time, more meaningful relationships, more growth and contribution and contentment - a life of passion, unencumbered by the trappings of the chaotic world around you. What you’re imagining is an intentional life. And to get there, you’ll have to let go of some clutter that’s in the way.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 44
Everywhere around you are distractions: That text you respond to quickly, just to get it out of the way. The newest money-making side hustle to cross your mind. The evening spent organizing your overflowing kitchen cupboards. Disruptions are the enemies of a life well lived—both the new distractions of our generation and timeless ones that have existed for centuries. They all add up to make you feel restless, tired, and unfulfilled. They’re keeping you from living with joy, from accomplishing the good that only you can do.

Loved it.
I loved the documentary. Changed my life quite honestly. Set me on the path I am on now. I am a regular listener of their podcast so all I can say is I WISSSHHH so hard that Ryan and Joshua had narrated the book instead. I found it less captivating than I would if they had read it. But highly recommend. Love the writing. #Audible1

Good book, performance could be better
The story and composition are great, but the narrator put me to sleep. I really liked hearing the backstory of Joshua's life and the examples from the authors about trying minimalism are really inspiring. I listened to this while undergoing the minimalist process and I feel more productive than ever. Amazing book, would recommend.

The Minimalists’ beginnings
I really wish Joshua was the narrator as I find his TED Talk-tested voice much more engaging, otherwise this memoir is a great story of how The Minimalists began and, while they too were inspired by someone who embraced the concept, applied it to their lives for personal betterment. Everyone’s minimalism journey will be different and one must remember that there are no rules but helpful tips rather.

Meaningful and witty words
Loved it!! I listened to this non-stop, and enjoyed learning about Josh and Ryan's journey into living a minimalistic life. Thoroughly enjoyed Ryan's interjected comments throughout bringing humor to the journey. Well done, and I'm looking forward to listening to your other books

Good book on minimalism
If you’re familiar with the principles of minimalism I’m not sure there’s anything we here. That said it was an interesting and worthwhile read!

Loved it!
Started listening to the audio book at a point in my life where I really had no real sense of direction. It's given me some solid strategies to help me break the cycle of constant consumerism and instead find a balance that better suites my lifestyle.

Great information narration is terruble
I almost returned this book for a refund because the narrator is just terrible. I stuck it out though because I thought the information on minimalism was great. It was nice to hear one man's journey into debt, minimalism and then debt free. The Journey was cool. The narrator on the other hand was just horrible. Very monotone. If the authors want some advise, don't use this narrator for any of your other books.

Easy to listen to
I found this book easy and enjoyable to listen to as we learned about the journey of the author's minimalism. The Narrator did a good job of sounding like he was speaking rather than reading. I found the material engaging and interesting.
