0:06.4	by Joshua Fields-Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus of the Minimalist.com, and I'm Justin Mollick.
0:12.0	Happy Friday and welcome back to Optimal Living Daily, a podcast with a vision of bringing
0:17.2	hundreds of blogs to audio for free. That vision is already a reality, but I'm always on the hunt for
0:23.0	the best authors and content so feel free to send your favorites my way. I currently read from a
0:27.4	bunch of different personal development and minimalism blogs like Becoming Minimalist,

1:33.8	unwarranted. We shouldn't be offended, but we are. This is especially true within the context of
1:39.9	today's internet culture. Social media has become a breeding ground for armchair criticism,
1:45.1	faux discontent and passive aggressive disappointment, a place in which we attempt to paradoxically
1:51.2	decree our building tallest by ridiculing every nearby structure. And so there we sit,
