Episode 3507:

Joshua Fields Millburn reflects on his own transformation, showing how true contentment isn’t found in status or possessions but in relationships, growth, and meaningful pursuits. Letting go of societal expectations may seem unreasonable, but that’s precisely what makes an extraordinary life possible.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.theminimalists.com/unreasonable/

Quotes to ponder:

"Being unhappy and discontent is completely reasonable within our society. We see it every day."

"Until you focus on what’s important, until you focus on what’s going on inside you, you won’t be happy."

"I’d rather be extraordinarily unreasonable and content and happy. I’d rather live a meaningful, albeit unreasonable, life."
