After 80 million views on Netflix, The Minimalists' first documentary, Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things, is now on YouTube. Directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Matt D'Avella, Minimalism examines the simple lives of minimalists from all walks of life—families, entrepreneurs, architects, artists, journalists, scientists, and even a former Wall Street broker—all of whom are living meaningfully with less.

In the Minimalism Life Podcast, one half of The Minimalists and New York Times–bestselling author Joshua Fields Millburn reads and comments on essays published in our Inside Minimalism book. Each episode is just a few minutes long. Minimal distraction and easy listening.

Inside Minimalism is a collection of 50 short and relatable essays on simple living by a small team of writers from different backgrounds, but who all share a deep appreciation for minimalism as a way of life. It is not a guide book or rule book. Rather, we simply hope it will inspire, motivate, and encourage you.

Minimalism can be about frugality and owning less, but it can also be about supporting ethical brands with sustainability at their core (less but better). Discover our curated and growing list of minimal brands.
