About Joshua Becker:
Joshua Becker is a best-selling author, speaker, and the founder of Becoming Minimalist, a community inspiring millions to embrace intentional living by owning less. His journey toward minimalism began during a life-changing moment in suburban Vermont, where he realized that his possessions were subtracting from his life instead of adding value.
Through donating, recycling, and simplifying, Joshua and his family discovered more time, freedom, and opportunities to pursue their greatest passions: faith, family, and friends. His writing encourages readers to define minimalism for themselves and explore the profound benefits of living with less.
Joshua has authored four books and continues to share his message of rational minimalism, helping people create lives focused on what truly matters.
