Episode 3571:

Joshua Fields Millburn shares a deeply personal journey of loss, self-discovery, and radical transformation, sparked by one simple tweet. As grief dismantled his old life, he found purpose and freedom through minimalism, proving how a single moment can reshape everything and lead to a more intentional, meaningful path.

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

Quotes to ponder:

"A month after she passed, my marriage ended abruptly, and I didn’t know which way was up anymore."

"When I heard him talk about his newfound freedom, how minimalism allowed him to focus on the most important things in his life, I immediately said, 'I’m in.'"

"Most important, Ryan and I have been able to contribute beyond ourselves: minimalism has allowed us to shed the excess so we can live intentionally and contribute to others in a meaningful way."
