My newest essay needs another week to gestate. Rather than rush it, I'm using today’s newsletter to share three things that continue to resonate with readers.

Then: a new podcast episode about children of hoarders.

Before we dive in, my How to Let Go Tour starts next month. I hope you'll join me in Seattle, Vancouver, or New York. Seats are filling up fast.

Joshua Fields Millburn

Over the past 16 years, I've published more than 600 essays in The Minimalists newsletter and on our blog. Here are the three readers have returned to most over the last three years:

I Shouldn’t Have to Deal with This. My personal story of minimizing autoimmune disease, chronic pain, and inflammation.

Success Does Not Exist. A dozen championships won’t increase your tranquility, a million dollars won’t make you happy.

Subtraction. Some objects may enhance our lives, but only after we subtract the attachment that gets in the way.

P.S. I recently had a thoughtful conversation with Bethany on the Grounded Wellness show about what your stuff is doing to your health.
