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.

The story is interesting and engaging however the narration is robotic and makes it hard to listen to

Good story, boring narration

Joshua and Ryan’s explanation of how they went from a high paying corporate job to pursuing a life of meaning can serve as a lesson to all of us. The narrative format of the chapters, interlaced with useful tips on how to live meaningfully, make for a really pleasant read. I think they show that this way of living is obtainable for all of us and doesn’t just conform to a particular type of person. Definitely a great and easy read for anyone either on the fence of a big life changing decision regarding how they want to live their life or for anyone who is interested in improving the quality of their life!

A template for a good life

Really great book by some awesome people. Makes you really question your life choices and helps you realise these bad habits that modern day humans have come to be addicted to!
Narrator wasn't the best and didn't have the enthusiasm in certain chapters where I feel the author reading aloud would have conveyed a more meaningful speech however still not bad.
Great book from some average down to earth guys!
