Two Netflix documentaries about the same guys, Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus aka The Minimalists. Decided to jettison the rat race/consumer driven society that was driving them to work to acquire and generally making them unhappy, in favour of a paired down simpler lifestyle. They spent a year touring the US spreading the message and it grew and grew.

I haven't checked out their website theminimalists.com yet, but it has given me the motivation to start emptying my condo every day of accumulated items that are providing no purpose in my life other than taking up space.

1) The Minimalists - Less is Now
2) Minimalism - A Documentary About The Important Things

Excellent choices, Grand Barong. Though I'm only in Season 1, Animal Kingdom is right up there with Breaking Bad as my all-time fav TV show. The Aussie movie ain't no slouch either. Good to watch that first.....

I have watched all of Animal Kingdom. I overlooked it for ages as I had seen the movie and didn’t think a series could be any good. I was wrong. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

1) Manhunt
2) Unabomber In His Own Words

Didn't really know much about the Unabomber until I watched these two. Very interesting and I'd watch them in that order.

My final analysis of Animal Kingdom: Season 1, like a lot of TV shows, is worth watching. The remaining three seasons are as cartoonish as Sons of Anarchy.

I had already seen Manhunt, and was unaware of the second series. Very interesting, good tip.

Thanks to whoever recommended Animal Kingdom, I've been really enjoying that show while I've been stuck at home.
