The author of the book referenced in this article, Kyle Chayka, was on my podcast recently https://www.lumi.com/wellmade/110-kyle-chayka

I like that the book doesn't attach itself to any one definition of minimalism, but instead tries to explore all its definitions, what ties them together, and why we keep coming back to these ideas.

I would consider myself a lifelong minimalist, but this book challenged my notions about minimalism in many ways. It's a good read!
