I'm only 13 now, but when I grow up I wish to lead minimalistic and carbon emissions free lifestyle, alone, in a tiny house in the woods. I also want to get a large dog to keep me company, like a German Shepard, or a Border Collie, I haven't yet decided. Good day from South East USA!
Sont worry about the carbon emissions. The middle Eastern sand jammers burn tires all day every day. Also all these government officials that cry global warming hop in their private jet and fly away burning more jet fuel in 1 ride then you will probably on your entire life. Hypocrites 😂
Charles Peterson II Lol I don't know about that seeing as how I'm going to be a fighter pilot in the Air Force. When I retire though I do want to live as I previously mentioned.
To me, minimalism is like cognitive behavioral therapy for your lifestyle. It's a process which helps one mindfully consider the difference between what you do and who you are.
Just discovered your channel, and you are so clear in whatever you say. You have great clarity of thought. I believe minimalism also includes carrying the minimalistic attitude in your thoughts and emotions and feelings as well. We carry so many grudges against people, Unwanted thoughts, purposeless feelings. Everything has to go. Just like decluttering our home is an important aspect of minimalism, decluttering ones mental home, emotional home is also equally important. Also minimalism in food choices and relationships, also helps. Eat less variety, eat less quantity, but quality foods. We burden ourselves with too many pre conceived notions. Having less but meaningful relationships also is a part of minimalism. All this gives us more energy to work towards our greater goals. We save a lot of energy and time to do the things which will lead us to our ultimate purpose. Let's not make minimalism not just about decluttering the house, and getting rid of the materialistic things, but also about living a quality life in terms of emotions and thoughts, in terms of food choices and relationships as well. Thank you for your channel.
not if you're supporting local talent.communities because you ensure your ripple is going in a positive way and if high quality natural materials used it can be given back to the planet without damage at the end of its long life
Intro was spot on, music volume spot on, voice level spot on, the little sound effects with the pop ups on the screen very nice. This whole video got a massive tick from all of my OCD tendencies. Content was very well put together and structured. Delivery was very very good. Really enjoy your videos, the visuals and the content. Keep up the good work brew
Haha yeah. The software only fucked up once this time! The last one you mentioned, had render bugs in the audio software that's why it was all wacky! But this time thing are good. Plus, my new microphone is awesome so that helps when it renders right!
Age of Reason - um... no, that was a very simple question. I was simply curious to know what type of microphone because I use all types of audio-video gear where I work.
A brother of mine said something that really stuck with me. It's just a simple statement but it fits with this great video so well. It's not what make, it's what you spend!
Just stumbled onto this. I think your reasons are spot on! I've recently done a 90 day challenge on down sizing. It worked out so well that I integrated it into my lifestyle permanently. At times it's still a challenge. I have to take extra time when making purchases just to keep myself in check. Not everything needs to be bought. Borrowing or second hand work just as well. My big take away from all this is being able to rack up experiences now instead of things. Doing beats buying hands down! Atb Sean
Simplifying your meals, such as beans and rice and your toppings as one meal ect... (add guac, or turn it into a curry) so on... Saves money from eating out, simplifies your meals, you eat better long-term less medical bills and so on... Create a good variety of simple meals with whole ingredients and you will see how it saves you both time and money.
I agree with you 100% once i cleaned out all the things i didnt need excess clothes, makeup, purses etc i really felt free it was so refreshing to focus on whats really important in life!! Idk if id consider myself a minimalist yet but definitely not fooled by materialistic false needs!
Great video Jeff as I have been a "minimalist" for several years now to the point where I don't even own a couch in my 1 bedroom apartment. I have no stress and when I come home there are no dishes in the sink, the dirty clothes are in the hamper and there is nothing on any of my countertops. I wear my clothes until they have to be discarded!!!! Sorry to the rest of the $HEEP in this world have not caught on as my brother has a house full of trash that he pays a mortgage on so that HE can keep up with the JONES'!!!
You made some great points that I've never heard before! -like hanging on to things being like holding on to a baby blanket. I think I became a minimalist in my early teens when I decided I wanted to be more grown up so I started going through my belongings and getting rid of anything I felt was childish. I called it "adultifying"! Lol! I don't think people really want to grow up these days! Ironically, I still sleep with a big stuffed dog!
Married for 19 years, in the beginning we thought we didn't have enough space so I built an addition to the house and filled it with more things. Now approaching our 20th anniversary not only married but in our first home, we're now planning on building a much smaller home with very little to go in it and I tell you what it is great to be settling into a minimalist lifestyle. The overall quality of life is 10 times better although we still have a ways to go to get to the point where we want to be. Turning our backs to the materialistic world we live in and focusing on what's more important, health, family and quality of life. Starting off poor, then working hard to get the THINGS that I wanted to now looking to only have the essentials. I'm only 39 and I'm glad we figured out that minimalism is the right way to go while we're still young enough to enjoy it for many years to come...
Really loved this video. Minimalism is investing your time and energy in yourself to become a better person. It gives a clear and better perspective to what is needed and what is not. Thanks a lot for doing this video.
I like the pop ups. The lil sound effects you added, pleasant, and not too distracting. Good video. :) Interesting to see how people adopt minimalism in their lives.
Good video! Last year when I hit 35 and got fed up with high car payments xcetera....i started my minimalist lifestyle Journey. I've learned it's a mindset not a number. If you got it and can use it sometimes throw it away will cost you more money if you need it down the road soon. If you're not paying for storage or it's not taking up too much space. then it's not really costing you money
I first discovered you because of beard brand. But your youtube channel made me discover the minimalism philosophy. Im not a minimalist at this time, but im a striving minimalist. I have been working real hard to slowly declutter my life. Which is a slow and not so easy process for me, but I notice the more objects I get rid of the better I feel. Ive also started wearing polos because of your video on polos, and I found a cheap but pretty good brand called Arizona jean co. And I love their polos so far, and they make me feel more confident. Thank you for your videos and all your content. They really help out guys like me.
Everything i own, fits in my car. I rent a small apartment that was furnished. My flat screen isn't too large so it fits no problem. I can move out of town or state, at a moments notice. I have no pets or wife so i am truly free. My job allows me to transfer around the globe if i want to.
Hello there, I'm new here (and probably not your target demographic! Haha) ... but I've watched a few videos on this but I really enjoyed your perspective. I particularly enjoyed your links between health and priorities... anyway, just thought I would say hi and that I enjoyed this!🙌thanks :)
I’m trying to adopt this lifestyle. Ideally I’d own a few essential items and have money in bank to live and travel. As a married man now it’s hard getting everyone on board. I personally hate Knick knacks, decorations that don’t serve purpose, pictures everywhere, even owning a large house. And I LOVE what you state about health. I like to think of your body as its own “fashion” if that makes sense. If you take care of yourself, it’s not necessary to have additional clothes, jewelry, makeup, etc etc . An attractive body in a white T and jeans looks good all around IMO. But so much truth, the more stuff I have, the more cluttered and busy I feel
I shared this video with my neighbour. She has also trouble removing stuff. She moved in from a apartment that was twice as big. She asked how i did it. I told her that i did not had much stuff in the first place and everything that i have right now has a place and meaning.
The word "stuff" is so loaded with metaphor and a great choice of language. Letting go of stuff, be it old notions of self, long-held grudges, hand me down" keepsakes", whatever, are all psychic clutter and weigh us down more than we imagine.
The vibe of death and defeat. Always in back, only bones and self mutilation to accent. Don't judge you say? That's all he does under the guise of enlightenment. What a curse.
@@jeffreybuoncristiano Cute. Did you come with that? No. As personal as I am with you, I am sorry. It is the vibe, the look, the message (the old hippie message mixed with a modern tribal nuance) and forwarding the movement is bad news. It has it's own flaws that are worse than before. Read you don't like to shave and cut your hair because it takes time and effort. That attitude is third world.
I am woman, architect and I am a minimalist ✌😎 including about food, I like to eat simple, quality fruits and salads. Why? I have soo many interesting things to do than shopping and cooking and cleaning the house... And because it helps me keep my thoughts in order. A cluttered home makes me feel tired and not focused on what's important to me. Thanks for the video
Great stuff.I am trying to minimalism my life as much as possible. Its been a process, but I am not rushing myself. I am getting slowly but surely. Thank you for the videos, they sure do help.
I`m feeling so thankful for you and the videos you`re doing on this channel. 4 days ago i was cleaning my apartment for 2 days in a row so my GF could came and hang out with me. Now i see this and you making more benefits to my own thoughs about lifestyle. Dunno how to speel it in a right way in english, just - Thank you, man :) You`re doing a great work here.
Hey Jeffrey, i'm from brazil and i found your youtube channel looking for "minimalism lifestyle". So, you clear my mind about the unnecessary things. One more subscribe! Congrats! 💪🏼🙌🏼
1 thing I believe leads ppl away from minimalism is the need for some couples/families to buy, or build bigger houses than what they really should. This just leads to a need to fill up the house with clutter. If u have a large family, which I would consider more than 2 children, then yes, u will need a large house, but once those children grow up and move out the parents should feel compelled to downsize, declutter and live in a manner that allows them to only have what they really need, not what they believe they’ll need later on.
totally agree, unfortunately i am surrounded by lots of visual elements that consumes my focus and energy but i decided to keep as a matter of skills improvement such as game programming and visual designs.. but i will bare in mind the idea and see what i can get rid of..
Minimalism is good! I have been on that road for some time, and quite happy.I don't have a whole lot; but I don't require a whole lot.Another saying, "Do all things in moderation."I try living by that code, and ; a closer walk with the Saviour of the world.
I appreciate that you don't mention "smashing" buttons. It has always been a sheepish and stupid thing to say ( as in, every one else says it, so i will to type of thing). I do think though that everyone can also stop "reminding" us to like and comment and blah, blah. We all know what we can do. All it makes me think, is someone is desperate for promotion, or thinks we all have amnesia of how youtube works.
I found that you can have items but each item needs it’s own place. Your keys in one spot, sun glasses in one spot, you get the idea. I also have a charger in each car and in the office this will free up time, keep it simple.
Owning less equals more happiness, if you have the right attitude, you'll find everything that you need along the way. Awesome I've learned these from this video. Anyway, I appreciate it if you cover some videos about coping with loneliness when someone needs to work harder and also for some reason he's alone and have not much time to make friends.
Hmmm... That's a tough one. I also struggle with a work life balance. Idk but i think it comes down to creative solid boundaries. Like I NEVER under almost no circumstances, work Sunday. Things like that.
thanks for your advice man. btw lonesome is the price that creative souls have to pay! I think creativity is born in solitude. anyone who wants to bring something to world should embrace some stretches of being alone.
sure thing. but imho moods direct our thoughts. some emotions effect our mental efforts in ways that we do things in real world. for example some great literary masterpieces were brought to existence because of their author state of mind. for example Mery Shelly, writer of Frankenstein was under influence of some heavy clouds of isolation and depression when she wrote this novel. happiness makes you more productive sure, but emotions are very crucial in how we react toward our surroundings.
. I promised myself to save 30% of my income, before spending a single dollar. What I'm going through right now is self imposed poverty, because I realized that good savers don't necessarily have a high salary. They're just extremely self disciplined.
I found your video by casuality. I have been watching some ones about this topic lately. I liked your voice, the calm, safe and order that your video transmited to me. Also how you resumed the reasons. My suggestion could be vídeos about : how to start, tips when you feel overwhelmed and in low mood to start and finish , how to keep the process simple, Thanks in advance. Hugs from the caribbean
Great video, so true, I watch the women taking there kids to school, all with there game faces on. , no time for anyone. , rushing to get kids in on time, then rush to work. , the one I enjoy is when they are putting lipstick on and checking the look in there mirrors, not to mention the texting at the lights. Magic, what a mess it has all come to.
damn, i was bulls eye on purchases stuff. tend to buy the cheap shoes, watches even if i can buy what i really want, ended up with a lot of shoes that I really dont wear very often. this is an eye-opener. thank you
Stop being a consumerist is a matter of time, something everyone have to reach, a state of mind which must leave behind us. Is the nature of things, a GROWING process.
Hey, I have to say it is really inspiring. I am almost 40 and sometimes I have to say I am frustrated because I do not have all the things I'd like to get. I have still my old car, want a motorbike but I do not want a credit to the bank, so I have to wait,.. my appartement is really simple ect. In the other hand I do not have any credit, I travel when I like, I do not count for quality food, ect...When I buy something I try to get the best quality. I think you are right. Freedom has that price.
Hey thanks. Do you know, all beard related videos go on to the beardbrand RUclips channel! Look in the playlist for my videos, other the rest of the guys are great!
had 2 cars, 2 motorcycles, 2 archery bows, 2 bicycles, 3 high end espresso machines, 3 high end espresso grinders, 3 firearms etc... kept the firearms because merica and only have one of everything else. I still like having certain things for hobbies, but duplicates had to go... feel much better now.
Overal a minimalist lifestyle brings peace, control and strength to oneself, permits the maintenance of the self substance above self emptying in search for unuseful things and non self centered objectives. Permits self defense against distractions and the power of the individual above circumstances influence.
I owned 3 condos and lived financially free. Got really depressed after my dog passed and made impulsive bad decisions that started the domino-effect and i lost everything. Gotta start over. This minimalist mentality sounds great. I sure miss being free and living off rentals. Regret is killing me...i failed :(
Great video. I have had good success in reducing what I purchase to a slow trickle. How do you deal with what is already in the house? Particularly all the stuff with emotional attachment from my deceased parents house?
There are a lot of videos that deal with the subject of purging your possessions. Try The Minimalists for some good advice by the Minimalist whose mother died and he had to decide what to do with her stuff. Also Marie Kondo has a method for filtering your possessions.
Hey Jeff. Thanks for this video. I am starting a journey going in the direction of self improvement. And trying to take more care of myself. Can you recommend some reading on Minimalism ? Thanks
Honestly walk the walk. Live simple like varg. Varg doesn't have tats because they're unnecessary. Varg doesn't have a fancy watch he has simple clothes and lives in a simple home. His family dresses simple. That I can respect.
#The Buon Life; New Sub here, excellent series, serious question; Given the expense, potential ill health repercussions, have you any address on tattoos? I’ve not been inked, due those reasons, & besides, when the herd does something ‘hip’, I head into the opposite. THX! 👍
I was wondering if maybe we could do a collaboration together? I only have 8 subscribers😂. A shout out from you would mean a lot to me. Thanks for all the content you make
This subject and lifestyle change fascinates me at the moment, next year I shall be downgrading into a smaller house. I’ve realised I can literally lose ALL my cd’s as my music is on the iPhon. I love films, but feel pained to lose any? Books, I don’t read that much, so could lose 75% of them... What degree of reduction becomes minimal as compared to just decimated?!? I guess it’s similar to clothing, I don’t wear that varied a wardrobe so could also lose 50-75% maybe... Is that what is meant by minimal, or just reducing severely??? Thanks for any input - the vids are very good !!! I can understand the restraint for shiny things, new dvd etc and saving money.... THAT will be the discipline....!!
Minimalism also means I’m light on my feet. I don’t have unnecessary baggages to carry with me every day. I can move a lot quicker and get things done.

Sounds wonderful!
best part of minimalism is how it is against mindless consumerism. wall street hates minimalism.

Minimalism helps me save up to do more of what I love, TRAVEL! ”Experiences over posessions” is the way!
wow! now that's going big in life!
I wanna try being a minimalist because I believe having experiences is more important than having stuff.
I'm a minimalist too, if you feel horny, give me a call...
“Clutter is chaos” So true!
Especially if you've got rooms full of crap that hasn't seen the light of day for years on end.
To me, minimalism is like cognitive behavioral therapy for your lifestyle. It's a process which helps one mindfully consider the difference between what you do and who you are.

I appreciate that you don't mention "smashing" buttons. It has always been a sheepish and stupid thing to say ( as in, every one else says it, so i will to type of thing). I do think though that everyone can also stop "reminding" us to like and comment and blah, blah. We all know what we can do. All it makes me think, is someone is desperate for promotion, or thinks we all have amnesia of how youtube works.
Great video man! I’m Just beginning this journey and you’re spot on with everything.
I found that you can have items but each item needs it’s own place. Your keys in one spot, sun glasses in one spot, you get the idea. I also have a charger in each car and in the office this will free up time, keep it simple.
Owning less equals more happiness, if you have the right attitude, you'll find everything that you need along the way. Awesome I've learned these from this video. Anyway, I appreciate it if you cover some videos about coping with loneliness when someone needs to work harder and also for some reason he's alone and have not much time to make friends.
Hmmm... That's a tough one. I also struggle with a work life balance. Idk but i think it comes down to creative solid boundaries. Like I NEVER under almost no circumstances, work Sunday. Things like that.
thanks for your advice man. btw lonesome is the price that creative souls have to pay! I think creativity is born in solitude. anyone who wants to bring something to world should embrace some stretches of being alone.
I agree, but it's not the rule. I actually create more, when I'm happier
sure thing. but imho moods direct our thoughts. some emotions effect our mental efforts in ways that we do things in real world. for example some great literary masterpieces were brought to existence because of their author state of mind. for example Mery Shelly, writer of Frankenstein was under influence of some heavy clouds of isolation and depression when she wrote this novel. happiness makes you more productive sure, but emotions are very crucial in how we react toward our surroundings.

I promised myself to save 30% of my income, before spending a single dollar. What I'm going through right now is self imposed poverty, because I realized that good savers don't necessarily have a high salary. They're just extremely self disciplined.
What I really liked about the video other than what you just said was that it was to the point and so peacefully delivered
Really great episode bud. Sincerity and great honest presentation.
I found your video by casuality. I have been watching some ones about this topic lately. I liked your voice, the calm, safe and order that your video transmited to me. Also how you resumed the reasons.
My suggestion could be vídeos about : how to start, tips when you feel overwhelmed and in low mood to start and finish , how to keep the process simple, Thanks in advance. Hugs from the caribbean
Thank you for the feedback. I'm trying to clarify the vids. Will def try harder!
Oops, Smashed It.
Looking chill Jeff, Hugs from Australia,
Ha!
Great video, so true, I watch the women taking there kids to school, all with there game faces on. , no time for anyone. , rushing to get kids in on time, then rush to work. , the one I enjoy is when they are putting lipstick on and checking the look in there mirrors, not to mention the texting at the lights. Magic, what a mess it has all come to.
An up coming video on the starting process for those beginning the minimalist lifestyle. Thank you
Already made a video on that! ruclips.net/video/fHpaGFOrj0I/видео.html
Love this! Now I just need to get my husband on board 😁
I find myself re-watching this on a regular basis, as a reboot & to clarify my goal & purpose....
My minimalist bible, so to speak.✔
Great advice. Next video, whats the process of elimination for different items (1 month of no use, 6 months etc)
You got it!
Why don't you figure it out for yourself. You want him to hold your hand too?
Age of Reason you could teach a class on how to be a prick
@@stellarfellar9960 hahaha good one :)
damn, i was bulls eye on purchases stuff. tend to buy the cheap shoes, watches even if i can buy what i really want, ended up with a lot of shoes that I really dont wear very often. this is an eye-opener. thank you
So true.! Minimalism cuts my cleaning down literally in half.!
Stop being a consumerist is a matter of time, something everyone have to reach, a state of mind which must leave behind us. Is the nature of things, a GROWING process.
Hey,
I have to say it is really inspiring.
I am almost 40 and sometimes I have to say I am frustrated because I do not have all the things I'd like to get. I have still my old car, want a motorbike but I do not want a credit to the bank, so I have to wait,.. my appartement is really simple ect. In the other hand I do not have any credit, I travel when I like, I do not count for quality food, ect...When I buy something I try to get the best quality. I think you are right. Freedom has that price.
SOOOOO powerful. I absolutely agree. Thank you, Anouche.
This is like life advice ASMR. Great video. Thanks!
What's ASMR
Great channel, love the episodes I've watched so far.
Would love to watch a video on your beard grooming techniques.
Hey thanks. Do you know, all beard related videos go on to the beardbrand RUclips channel! Look in the playlist for my videos, other the rest of the guys are great!
The Buon Life Thank you so much.
The simple beard necessities of life. great job
Can you talk about this approach when choosing what exercises to do and what foods to eat?
had 2 cars, 2 motorcycles, 2 archery bows, 2 bicycles, 3 high end espresso machines, 3 high end espresso grinders, 3 firearms etc... kept the firearms because merica and only have one of everything else. I still like having certain things for hobbies, but duplicates had to go... feel much better now.
Great advice. I didn't become a minimalist by choice, but Im glad I did.
My favorite right now is Robert Johnson! My struggle is limiting myself to one cup of coffee a day. Not there yet, at 44 I have some wiggle room!
Overal a minimalist lifestyle brings peace, control and strength to oneself, permits the maintenance of the self substance above self emptying in search for unuseful things and non self centered objectives. Permits self defense against distractions and the power of the individual above circumstances influence.
JUST LIKE IN MUSIC ,LESS CAN BE MORE. I LOVE THE VIDEO MAN IT,S REALLY A BEAUTIFUL THING AND THANKS.
This video is so calming.
5 days since I started my journey 1 bag full of garbage, a closet full of things to sell, throw out or donate I feel so light its crazy.
Don't worry, I lightly tapped and then gently petted the sweet like button.
Haha thank you for the kind tap lol
Thank you. Simplicity ❤️
I just found your channel, great vid man. Thanks !
Thankyou for the point on health. You really clearly spelled it out us.
That beard is on point bro! Good job ✌️
All you need is Love and a. 45
I owned 3 condos and lived financially free. Got really depressed after my dog passed and made impulsive bad decisions that started the domino-effect and i lost everything. Gotta start over. This minimalist mentality sounds great. I sure miss being free and living off rentals. Regret is killing me...i failed :(
You didn't fail, you are just learning
@@jeffreybuoncristiano extremely helpful
Content is how I view this world
Thank you , thank you
Great video. I have had good success in reducing what I purchase to a slow trickle. How do you deal with what is already in the house? Particularly all the stuff with emotional attachment from my deceased parents house?
Sylvain Grandcerf yes this is a great question ... photos that you inherit too...
There are a lot of videos that deal with the subject of purging your possessions. Try The Minimalists for some good advice by the Minimalist whose mother died and he had to decide what to do with her stuff. Also Marie Kondo has a method for filtering your possessions.
Hey Jeff. Thanks for this video. I am starting a journey going in the direction of self improvement. And trying to take more care of myself. Can you recommend some reading on Minimalism ? Thanks

How do I make this video play automatically when I turn on RUclips?
Honestly walk the walk. Live simple like varg. Varg doesn't have tats because they're unnecessary. Varg doesn't have a fancy watch he has simple clothes and lives in a simple home. His family dresses simple. That I can respect.
#The Buon Life; New Sub here, excellent series, serious question;
Given the expense, potential ill health repercussions, have you any address on tattoos?
I’ve not been inked, due those reasons, & besides, when the herd does something ‘hip’, I head into the opposite. THX! 👍
I've managed to hit this point in my life wish I could have seen this earlier great advice and very true
*Hey Man, I just wanted to say that I love your channel. You have inspired me to start my own RUclips channel*
That's so freaking awesome man! Let me know if you need any tips and whatnot
I was wondering if maybe we could do a collaboration together? I only have 8 subscribers😂. A shout out from you would mean a lot to me. Thanks for all the content you make
This subject and lifestyle change fascinates me at the moment, next year I shall be downgrading into a smaller house.
I’ve realised I can literally lose ALL my cd’s as my music is on the iPhon.
I love films, but feel pained to lose any?
Books, I don’t read that much, so could lose 75% of them...
What degree of reduction becomes minimal as compared to just decimated?!?
I guess it’s similar to clothing, I don’t wear that varied a wardrobe so could also lose 50-75% maybe...
Is that what is meant by minimal, or just reducing severely???
Thanks for any input - the vids are very good !!!
I can understand the restraint for shiny things, new dvd etc and saving money.... THAT will be the discipline....!!
I like that this alot, I think it opens up a new level of creativity. What kind of music are you into?
I agree I feel more free
thx man
All this information is very very REAL and shows me how spoiled we are in the United States. Hes right that health=being a millionaire
Great video...I'm highly interested in minimalism
Verry good quality video. Thanks so much!
Minimalism also means I’m light on my feet. I don’t have unnecessary baggages to carry with me every day. I can move a lot quicker and get things done.
Great video. Simply and clear content. 💫
Thx!!
Thank you.....I also got rid of my toxic friends and family
Thank you!! You right.
