Welcome to Litsy!

“… when people ask you how you‘re doing, you should always respond with “Great!” Because it makes your friends happy and your enemies angry.”
😂

This is a book about how to have better relationships. On the way to that topic, Millburn and Nicodemus explain that focusing too much on stuff and what it costs keeps you from deepening your relationships. The advice here ranges from “know your truths and values” to don‘t keep stuff “just in case you need it again.” The white guy privilege shows too. 3.0 / 5.0 stars.

Wondering if Celadon Books knew about my growing stash of gorgeous yarn when they gifted me this book for review? 🤪 Can‘t wait to read it! (Pub date 7/13/21) #celadonreads #lovepeopleusethingsbook

LOVED! I have a better understanding and background on the minimalists now and I really like how the lessons were amplified during the pandemic.

Love People, Use Things: Because the Opposite Never Works by Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus is a really interesting book on minimalism. I've watched the authors' Netflix documentary on minimalism before, and I've also really enjoyed other books on decluttering like Marie Kondo's books. I had very high expectations for this book, because I suspected that I would enjoy it, and this book completely delivered!

This book covers a wide variety of topics for minimalists. Most of those topics can be connected to buying and having less stuff.

I was expected a book like the Marie Kondo book but this book seemed like it was more self help than minimalistic living. It was a good mix of learning how to buy less but also covered how having stuff affects your personal finances, relationships and loving yourself.

New book from the minimalists coming 2021. I love them!
