Summary

The Minimalists talk about how much stuff is enough stuff, and how much stuff is too much stuff, and they answer the following questions:

How do we avoid apathy when we’re sorting generations of stuff? (02:25)

What does “letting go” mean to you? (04:51)

When you have too much stuff, how do you determine what to let go and where to send it—yard sale, online consignment, donation center, or, very worst-case scenario, landfill? (08:54)

What is The Minimalists’ process for letting go? (10:17)

How do we appropriately address a loved one’s consumerism that causes us discomfort? (16:45)
