"Essentialism" is one of the most important books I've ever read, and the philosophy as a whole made a huge impact on my life. Today I'll talk about a few of my biggest takeaways from it.

Hey everyone. My name is Nicholas and I make videos most about my experiences with minimalism, frugal living, tech, and things of that nature 🌱. So if that sounds good to you consider subscribing and I'll see you in the next one ✏️

I need a video on minimalist kitchen items. Basically a video on everything in your kitchen… everything
Think of what you use. Then just keep that.
@@shaunpodolski2423 I think you grossly missed the point
one cup, one plate, one fork.
@@shaunpodolski2423 Exactly. A minimalist kitchen doesn't mean fewer items, it just means only the items you use.
The joy of missing out if such a powerful concept, especially after years of hearing “FOMO” and “YOLO”. Typically you would think missing out is negative, but really it’s a beautiful thing.
I moved to a very rural area a little over two years ago and accidentally stumbled into essentialism (when it’s an hour round trip to the grocery store you learn to make do). Since being here there is no going out to eat all the time, going anywhere often for that matter and it’s been life changing. Now, even just getting a fast food burger is something special, or just getting out to do regular errands seems like an adventure.
While I’m not saying everyone should ditch their lives and move to the mountains, just doing less can make every day moments feel like more.
Hi! I loved your insight! Just out of curiosity, what led you to change pace and what are you currently doing job wise? Thanks in advance!
@@joaograca1 Thank you! Moving out here was entirely on a whim. All I knew is that I wanted to be somewhere I could hike and kayak. I did a Zillow search over the entire state of Colorado and chose the place I could afford. I’m very lucky that I work from home for an environmental company.
That's amazing! I commend you for doing that, as in my view is something really challenging. A remote job helps, but it still takes courage! I get a little bit more inspired everyday, thanks again for sharing!
Love that, I’m sure being in a quieter area makes you appreciate the little things a lot more. Thanks as always Haylea 🙌🏻
I've named my year "Refectio" - the year of restoring and repairing. Essentialism combined with minimalism will sure make the way toward my goal.
Love that ☝🏻
At the age of 65, I call this my last sector of life......
Much to change in life & many changes to physical ability,
Challenge Accepted!!!
Keep up the great work👍
Making time for meaningful things in life is so important.
I’ve had a giant reading list for ages- this year I’ve finally stopped making BS excuses and have made time to read. I’ve gone through 3 novels this year already and hope to get through many more.
Sounds awesome 🙌🏻
I'd love to see more videos on essentialism. You have a great way of explaining it.
Noted!
I'm currently listening to McKeown's book: Essentialism while out on my daily walks. His chapter on Play is one of the most important parts of this book. We need time to play. It is truly essential for a creative, well balanced life.
Essentialism is one of my favorite books. I go back to it at least once a year to remind myself of the valuable lessons.
I always watch your videos in the morning when I'm waking up with coffee because you film your videos with a calm voice and the colors are neutral & aesthetically pleasing. However today I did not expect to be busting up laughing, my husband was wondering what I was laughing at. I showed him the part where you're sitting with a crazy look on your face. 😳😂 ( that's exactly how we feel when we have too much going on) Thank you so much for the morning laughs. I love the book essentialism as well.
Glad you enjoyed that part 😅
are you talking about essentialism by greg mckeown? if so, its one of the best, most interesting and truly helpful books I ever read.
edit: when I asked he hadnt yet updated the description to include the link for the book.
Great video that embodies the art of "intentional living". Excited to see where this year will lead
I appreciate you sharing the distinction between minimalism and essentialism. Happy New Year, Nicholas 🎉
Happy new year!
Love this!
A helpful mindset change is taking time instead of making time. We all share the limit of the same amount of time, and can't make more. But we can take time for what we value, and have boundaries for the rest without guilt.
Well said! Thanks as always for watching my friend 🙌🏻
Such a good video!
I have this book on my reading list! i'll give it a try soon enough :D
I recommend you do!
Your videos is a like great source of being simple and live a life valuable ☺️
Glad you like them!
@@zer0b1tyt yes living happily with stuff is good but the point is not become possess with the stuff in any way✌🏼
My man going on a complete Anime binge 👌🏻👌🏻 Good anime references too!
Love the G Shock! It's one of my favorites over the Timex.
Love your style, long hair and beard suit you!
Did homeboy get a slider? Dope vid Nicholas, cheers.
He did! Thanks brother 🙌🏻
I'm a simple italian.
A guy with an italian-like name posts a video.
I watch it throughly. 🍿
I need to make it there one day 🇮🇹
Looking forward to that man!@@NicholasGarofola
I just wish you included some examples for each of these topics, but non the less great video!
This resonates so much with me Nicholas. Thank you.
Your videos are A++++
Thanks mate!
Dude, so many references to anime when it comes to the subscribe button. I would love to watch a video about your anime recommendations!
Been thinking about this 😄
I love ur vids
If did- maybe plss do an update vid on ur EDC as a minimalist?
Planning on it!
@@NicholasGarofola your videos are like tutorials in living decently
New watch g-shock? model number
I would love to schedule my existential crisis. 💖
people still laugh at my android phone. i laugh at their $125 verizon bill while mine is $55 mo.
Things that I bought been a minimalist, please!
I don’t know if you’ll see this comment but your videos are great! I subscribed because you remind me of Kyle Newacheck. You sound like him and I imagine if he made videos about tech, finance and minimalism it would be this lol
Great video but link missing for the book
Fixed!
😂it's funny all the plants. I cant afford them/not essential.
full body care video plz
I miss that plucky little tune from your older videos. Great video though!
What hair product do you use to slick back your hair?
Oh man, I wish I had an answer.. Just oily hair
One of my hobbies is building plastic robot model kits, they are definitely far away from essentialisms
Maybe not. Your hobby falls under the joy of missing out ….by doing things YOU enjoy, not doing other things you don’t.
👍

Was that a haiikyuu reference?
Hello Nicholas! Been watching your videos for a while now. Just a question, are you still off all social media? Are you posting a new video talking about it since I think, it’s gonna be 2 years since you left all other platforms? 😊
Still off social media, definitely plan on doing a Q&A soon!
@@NicholasGarofola are you planning to get back on them soon??
hi
Great video Nicholas. Slightly off topic, but did you enjoy the new series of For All Mankind? :)
One of my FAVORITES. Just finished season 4!
@@NicholasGarofola Me too. Hopefully there will be a season 5.
I see you also own a G-Shock. Very good choice. A G-Shock is easily the only watch you'd ever need.
I’ve had this for years, one of my favorites
Did I just Haikyu'd the subscribe button?
You in fact did
Marry and multiply you' learn essentialism without r3alizing
You look like Solid Snake.
Best compliment ever
seems like essentialism is a luxury only the first world can afford.
Firstttt!,
Great ideas, but how come he looks so lonely and bored.
Bro slowly becoming jesus
Not another AG1 nonsense pleeeeease, uns
