Emmy-nominated Netflix stars and *New York Times*–bestselling authors Joshua Fields Millburn, Ryan Nicodemus, and T.K. Coleman, known collectively as The Minimalists, “show their followers how to streamline their lives to find more happiness” (*Good Morning America*). With the “charm of their buddy-act, The Minimalists have become the minimalist movement’s American ringleaders” (*New York Magazine*).

These “sincere prophets of anti-consumerism” (*The New Yorker*) have been featured in *Time*, *Architectural Digest*, and *GQ*, and they have spoken at Harvard, Apple, and Google. *The Minimalists Podcast*, with more than 200 million downloads, is one of the most popular podcasts in the world.
