Love People, Use Things: Because the Opposite Never Works by Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus is a 2021 nonfiction book in the self-help and intentional living category. The authors, widely known as The Minimalists, use the book to clarify that minimalism is not mainly an aesthetic, a possession count, or a rejection of comfort. Its purpose is to help readers examine how material excess, debt, distraction, and social comparison can crowd out the relationships and values that make life meaningful. The book is organized around seven essential relationships, including relationships with stuff, truth, self, values, money, creativity, and people. Through personal reflection, practical exercises, and examples from the broader minimalist movement, it argues that owning less is valuable only when it creates room for more deliberate living. Its central claim is simple but demanding: possessions should serve human flourishing, not become substitutes for connection, purpose, and responsibility.
