Finding Purpose Through Minimalism with Joshua Becker


Listen Later

Enjoy this re-release of one of my top listened to episodes with my guest, Joshua Becker.

Joshua is a writer, creator, and entrepreneur at Becoming Minimalist. He is here to talk about his book, "Things That Matter: Overcoming Distraction to Pursue a More Meaningful Life."

Drawing inspiration from Stoic philosophy, Joshua challenges the pursuit of luxury and fame, advocating for a life of purpose and intentional living. We explore his journey towards minimalism, spurred by a simple realization about possessions and their impact on happiness.

From modeling values in front of his children to embracing solitude for self-reflection, Joshua provides practical steps to minimize regrets and enhance fulfillment.

Tune in as we discuss the power of verbalizing intentions, the role of technology in our lives, and the importance of staying authentic on social media.
