The Minimalists’ Four Books: A Journey of Simple Living

People sometimes ask why we wrote four books. “That’s not very minimalist!” Hehe. Well, when you’re a minimalist, everything you do is steeped in irony. In truth, each book communicates a unique perspective on simple living.

The Book That Started It All
1 is our personal story of letting go. This book documents our five-year journey into minimalism, and it answers some of the most common questions we receive. Of everything we’ve written, this is our favorite. Perhaps that’s why it’s our #1 bestseller!

Values That Matter
2 highlights the five values we focus on to live a meaningful life, and it answers questions about what truly matters.

The Best of The Minimalists
3 is a collection of 150 essays that focus on twelve distinct areas of intentional living and answer the question, “What does it mean to live intentionally?”

Building Better Relationships
4 describes, in detail, the seven essential relationships that benefit from simplifying, and it elucidates The Minimalists’ core message.
