I love this. All the time we spend watching other people live their lives (especially nitpicking them when they could truly care less what we think) is a distraction from leading positive lives ourselves
100% agree, I got my home last year and my home reflects my vision, not others’ expectations. Avoiding unnecessary purchases keeps it meaningful and clutter-free.
I am having fun doing more with less and tossing or donating whatever is no longer needed. This is priceless........... and love how you moved into giving up all your energy.

Great message. I’m saving this video to watch again because it’s so easy to be distracted by unimportant things that end up weighing us down. Thank you!
Ok I actually thought this video was going somewhere completely different from where it ended up but I’m glad I stayed till the end cause I really liked the message. I’ve been thinking along the same lines so watching it may help me come up with a real plan to make things better. Be well.⚛❤
Great TK and important message! Thanks for the great video series :) "We buy things we don't need, with money we don't have, to impress people we don't like".
As someone who has been a cashier at a grocery store several times in my life, I hate those people who have a lot of crap and then run out of money and I'm left with a bunch of groceries someone has to put back. Maybe that's why they never have money, buying all that crap. Being on carnivore I pay less for groceries now, even with the price of eggs, because I don't have to buy all the little things people on SAD buy like snacks and soda. It makes a difference.
The first time I watched this on Patreon, I interpreted it the way I wanted to. Now, after watching it five times, I’m finally noticing all the signs and symbolism-the black and white balls, the overflow, the rolling out to sea, and, most importantly, the message about managing the consumption of negative energy from media and other sources. However, I do have some concerns about potentially creating an echo chamber.
Yes, but one thing... it is not the same to comment on a music/art video to express an opinion or preference... not the same as to make a correction based on facts (to go by the example mentioned, a bacteria is NOT a virus - this is reality). It's good to take action against misinformation... we don't ever live on our own, but live in societies, and misinformation has its negative repercussions on all of us.
All it takes for tyranny to win is for good people to do nothing, so we MUST expose, and correct harmful false information!!! A family member is usually upset, nervous, agitated, angry, etc. Pro Trump, due to all the extreme lies, so asked where he gets his news: UTUBE 😱😱😱😱 We must not ignore the suppressives using social media to destroy Democracy and Freedom.
Amen . Free yourself from the chains of social and society norms ….. let it all go ….live with less …..only fill your life with the things you truly want and love . Basic human needs are not free so choose wisely with the extra filler items . Bless us on our journeys here . Stay free and happy 😊
In answer to your podcast question today about what content we listeners would like to see going forwards, I would like to suggest that many of your followers are already living minimalist lives and would maybe value content designed for being in that place, rather than decluttering/not shopping tips. ;)
Having listened to hundreds of hours of the minimalists. I hink the anwser is that you cannot change other people, especially those you love. You need to choose your own environment.
Bit hypocritical since filming on what was a pristine beach. Hauled stuff in and out of the beach, plastic beach ball were bought, sand crabs live near shore, etc. Would have been environmentally friendly and more poignant to have done this in front of wal mart/costco/99c stores etc.
Last year, I cancelled Netflix and Disney Plus. This year, I have already cancelled and closed my Amazon credit card and Amazon account.
Me too❤🎉
I love Netflix!
Awesome
So have I. Congratulations 😊

You forgot: “but it’s on sale!”
Good message.
Not what I was expecting - even better! ❤ Minimalism/simplicity/essentialism is about oh-so-much more than physical possessions. 🥰

Yessss, “add to cart” -rethink those three words. Thanks for the eye opening message ❤

Great content for my next class. Some of my students need to process this, and this video might be exactly what one or more of them need. Thank you.

These videos are art! 🖼️
Man, that part about arguing with people in comments sections hit hard. I need to stop doing that. what a waste of life.
It's not a waste of life..what are you talking about...wait...why am I responding to this...damn it you're right. I just wasted 30 seconds.
The point about social media. Bang on. You always lose trying to argue with a fool.
Love this. ❤ This is a reminder to curate your social media carefully
love the format (and the message)
I agree, more market and less supermarket, for so many reasons like avoid plastics.
So helpful to see how mindless shopping works
Amazing guys, loved this format!!
Keep up being great ❤
😂 I like the emphasis on buying things we don't need Beautiful video. Thanks guys
terrific TK, well done and the method acting from Josh was superb, Pacino like!
Intentionality is my word for the year (across the board!) Thanks TK ❤
Not a minimalist but Simple, Intentional and Effective are my words.
Lovely message and great reminder!

Man this video really hit home in an unexpected way.
I recognize the Channel Islands in the background because it looks like you're in my backyard. Love the message and very timely for me. Thank you
Who’s the poor guy that had to blow all those up? Seriously though, you guys are great. I enjoy your work!
Needed to hear that. Thank you guys.

Golden! Thank you both
I needed to hear this. Thank you!
I'm loving these short and sweet videos... Ryan's turn!

大切な話しをありがとうございます
🥰🥰🥰🥰
is this performance art ?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Is there a reason for that specifica amount number 666***?
Interesting how the cost of the groceries is $600.66. A lotta sixes there. Feel like that might have been intentional. 👹

A legit question that people will ask me. If I am not creating friction for other opinons, am I enableing them?
