By Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus ·

In this episode of The Minimalists Podcast, Joshua and Ryan talk about reducing—or maybe even eliminating—obligations, and they answer the following questions:

  • What is your ‘context’?
  • When is an obligation an actual obligation and not a perceived obligation?
  • Is there a difference between commitment and obligation?
  • What is the difference between want and desire?
  • Do we truly want to be happy?
  • What do you mean by ‘commitment’?
  • How do I appropriately address societal obligations, such as charitable giving, when I don’t have the means to meet those obligations?
  • What does ‘virtue’ mean?
  • What is the difference between a community and a tribe?
  • How do I prioritize financial obligations, such as debt?
  • How do I step back from obligations I’ve accepted in the past?
