Love People Use Things: Because the Opposite Never Works

　　想像一種更簡單的生活：更少物品、更少雜亂、更少壓力和債務和不滿。現在，想像一種更「多」的生活：更多時間、更多有意義的人際關係、更多成長和貢獻和滿足感。想要前往「減少煩擾、豐富內心」的理想狀態，除了清理不再需要的東西，到底還可以怎麼做？
 
　　繼好評紀錄片《極簡主義：記錄生命中的重要事物》、暢銷書《心簡單：尋找生活意義的法則》後，約書亞．菲爾茲．密爾本、萊恩．尼克迪穆，在本書中闡述了極簡主義可以如何為生活騰出空間，讓我們得以重新評估並治癒與物品、自我、金錢、價值與他人間的關係。本書絕非一部解析如何減低物欲、捨去不必要之物的作品，而是透過兩人在實踐極簡主義的路上，所遇見的人們與他們自己的親身經歷，提供了如何進一步整理內心，讓自己過得更充實、更有意義的方法。(文/博客來編譯)
 

**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**

＂The Minimalists show you how to disconnect from our conditioned material state and reconnect to our true essence: love people and use things. This is not a book about how to live with less, but about how to live more deeply and more fully.＂
--Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Like a Monk

AS SEEN ON THE NETFLIX DOCUMENTARIES MINIMALISM & LESS IS NOW

How might your life be better with less?

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.

In Love People, Use Things, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus move past simple decluttering to show how minimalism makes room to reevaluate and heal the seven essential relationships in our lives: stuff, truth, self, money, values, creativity, and people. They use their own experiences--and those of the people they have met along the minimalist journey--to provide a template for how to live a fuller, more meaningful life.

Because once you have less, you can make room for the right kind of more.

Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, known to their audience as The Minimalists, help more than 20 million people live meaningful lives with less through their website, books, podcast, and films. They have been featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, and Time magazine, and they have spoken at Harvard, Apple, and Google. The Minimalists Podcast is often the #1 health podcast on Apple Podcasts, and their documentary, Minimalism, was released by Netflix. Both raised in Dayton, Ohio, they currently live in Los Angeles.
