This poignant memoir chronicles a profound personal transformation, exploring the emptiness of material wealth and the pursuit of a more meaningful existence.

If I hadn't received this book for free I probably wouldn't have purchased it, not because the book isn't good but because I'm not usually one for memoirs. "<a href="http://www.theminimalists.com" target="new">The Minimalists</a>" - Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus - offered <a href="http://www.theminimalists.com/merry/" target="new">their bestselling book for free</a> and, being interested in their other publications, I picked it up to read. It's a short read giving you insight into how money does not guarantee happiness even if you're convinced it will. If you've read or listened to anything by "<a href="http://www.theminimalists.com" target="new">The Minimalists</a>" previously you'll notice a lot of what they say is repeated over and over and over... I'd recommend watching <a href="https://minimalismfilm.com/" target="new"><i>Minimalism: A Documentary About The Important Things</i></a> instead.
