00:00:09,769 --> 00:00:11,563
 Great part of our life 

2
00:00:11,730 --> 00:00:15,400
 is experienced under a haze of automatic and habitual behavior. 

3
00:00:19,571 --> 00:00:23,074
 We spent so much time on the hunt. 

4
00:00:25,493 --> 00:00:27,203
But nothing ever satisfies us enough.

5
00:00:27,287 --> 00:00:28,455
AUTHOR OF 10% HAPPIER

6
00:00:28,538 --> 00:00:33,793
And we get so caught up in the hunt that it makes us unhappy.

8
00:01:15,293 --> 00:01:17,796
 And I had everything I ever wanted. 

9
00:01:19,547 --> 00:01:21,966
 I had everything I should have. 

10
00:01:24,302 --> 00:01:28,473
 Everyone around me said: "You are successful." 

11
00:01:31,017 --> 00:01:33,520
 But in fact, I was unhappy. 

12
00:01:37,232 --> 00:01:38,316
There was this ...

13
00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:39,651
THE MINIMALISTS

14
00:01:39,734 --> 00:01:41,903
... stark emptiness in my life.

15
00:01:42,654 --> 00:01:46,991
So I tried to fill that gap as many people do:

16
00:01:47,367 --> 00:01:51,162
With things ... many things.

17
00:01:51,287 --> 00:01:53,832
 I was filling the void by buying things. 

18
00:01:56,334 --> 00:01:59,546
 I was spending money faster than I was earning, 

19
00:02:00,171 --> 00:02:02,257
 trying to buy my way to happiness. 

20
00:02:04,592 --> 00:02:06,469
I thought you were going to get there one day.

21
00:02:07,470 --> 00:02:10,181
After all, happiness had to be

22
00:02:10,265 --> 00:02:12,767
Somewhere, very close.

23
00:02:14,144 --> 00:02:16,229
 I was living from salary to salary, 

24
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:20,733
 living for a living, living for things. 

25
00:02:22,277 --> 00:02:24,904
 But I was not actually living. 

26
00:02:38,585 --> 00:02:41,462
 At a time when people from the West 

27
00:02:41,671 --> 00:02:45,300
 are enjoying the best standard of living in history, 

28
00:02:46,676 --> 00:02:48,052
Why, at the same time ...

29
00:02:48,136 --> 00:02:49,178
PHD IN NEUROPHYSIOLOGIST

30
00:02:49,262 --> 00:02:50,722
... is there so much desire for more?

31
00:02:53,308 --> 00:02:57,729
 I think of it as a kind of delusional desire with biological roots. 

32
00:02:59,522 --> 00:03:03,818
 This desire is a good strategy to keep animals alive, 

33
00:03:03,902 --> 00:03:05,820
 including the first humans of the story, 

34
00:03:05,904 --> 00:03:07,280
 under very adverse conditions. 

35
00:03:08,865 --> 00:03:12,577
 But currently, this causes a disconnect. 

36
00:03:15,079 --> 00:03:16,998
 You're like a marionette, whose ropes 

37
00:03:17,123 --> 00:03:19,876
 should be drawn by the evolution of Mother Nature, 

38
00:03:20,084 --> 00:03:22,837
 tens of millions of years ago. 

39
00:03:24,130 --> 00:03:25,924
We still feel restless.

40
00:03:26,007 --> 00:03:28,218
We are still always looking for more.

41
00:03:31,554 --> 00:03:33,681
 That's why lottery winners are miserable. 

42
00:03:34,098 --> 00:03:37,143
 That's why people have garages for three cars. 

43
00:03:38,895 --> 00:03:41,231
The first car generates a wonderful and exponential dose ...

44
00:03:41,356 --> 00:03:42,398
Entrepreneur

45
00:03:42,482 --> 00:03:44,359
... of happiness, joy and usefulness.

46
00:03:44,442 --> 00:03:47,487
 The second car comes because we get sick of the first one. 

47
00:03:47,570 --> 00:03:50,240
 And, as humans, we were programmed to become dissatisfied. 

48
00:03:51,866 --> 00:03:53,243
 It's an addiction, really. 

49
00:03:55,328 --> 00:03:59,082
 And we are encouraged to keep addiction 

50
00:03:59,332 --> 00:04:00,917
 through technology and information. 

51
00:04:04,212 --> 00:04:05,922
 American culture has ... 

52
00:04:06,047 --> 00:04:07,423
CONSULTANT - SUSTAINABLE CLOTHING

53
00:04:07,507 --> 00:04:09,259
... for the most part, caused this blindness.

54
00:04:10,176 --> 00:04:15,306
 There is definitely this illusion of how our lives should be. 

55
00:04:15,848 --> 00:04:19,936
 Whether through advertising, or your Instagram, 

56
00:04:20,019 --> 00:04:23,940
 or Facebook feed, it's this illusion 

57
00:04:24,023 --> 00:04:25,650
 that our lives should be perfect. 

58
00:04:27,193 --> 00:04:30,196
It is natural to use the lives of other people,

59
00:04:30,863 --> 00:04:32,282
And even imaginary lives, you know ...

60
00:04:32,365 --> 00:04:33,366
NEUROCIENTISTA PHD

61
00:04:33,449 --> 00:04:36,494
... the confections we see in advertisements, as a criterion.

62
00:04:37,662 --> 00:04:40,832
 You open a Vanity Fair or Esquire and see 

63
00:04:40,915 --> 00:04:44,168
 very sexy and glamorous lives. 

64
00:04:44,711 --> 00:04:47,463
And then the projects for most people seem to become:

65
00:04:47,547 --> 00:04:51,175
"How can I get that or how close to that will I get?"

66
00:04:52,135 --> 00:04:54,679
 There can be a lot of frustration 

67
00:04:54,762 --> 00:04:56,180
 for trying to live that way. 

68
00:04:56,264 --> 00:04:59,475
 And many of us see no other alternative to live like this. 

69
00:05:03,313 --> 00:05:05,356
The advertisement polluted ...

70
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,025
PHD AND SOCIOLOGIST ECONOMIST

71
00:05:07,108 --> 00:05:08,443
... and infiltrated the culture.

72
00:05:08,526 --> 00:05:09,861
 It's in our movies. 

73
00:05:11,070 --> 00:05:12,780
 It's on our television shows. 

74
00:05:13,448 --> 00:05:14,657
 It's in our books. 

75
00:05:15,158 --> 00:05:16,951
 You are in our doctors' offices. 

76
00:05:17,035 --> 00:05:18,953
 You're in the taxis. 

77
00:05:19,579 --> 00:05:23,583
 You're in the bar, sitting next to you, the person you're thinking about 

78
00:05:23,666 --> 00:05:26,586
 be having a relaxed conversation may have been 

79
00:05:26,669 --> 00:05:28,921
Placed there by a beverage company.

80
00:05:29,505 --> 00:05:30,673
Hydrate the Rush

81
00:05:32,967 --> 00:05:34,260
 It's been a slow evolution. 

82
00:05:34,343 --> 00:05:36,888
 This is not something that just happened yesterday. 

83
00:05:37,805 --> 00:05:41,726
 It's something that's been sold to us by the last, let's say, 100 years, 

84
00:05:41,809 --> 00:05:45,938
 slowly and always, for those who want to make lots of money. 

85
00:05:46,022 --> 00:05:49,233
 That's what I call a nice car. 

86
00:05:49,776 --> 00:05:51,652
They want us to believe that ...

87
00:05:51,736 --> 00:05:53,112
ENOUGH AUTHOR 

88
00:05:53,196 --> 00:05:54,906
... we need these things.

89
00:05:56,407 --> 00:05:59,160
 With each passing year, there is more encouragement, 

90
00:05:59,243 --> 00:06:01,037
 more pressure, more options, 

91
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,998
 More media, more noise and noise. 

92
00:06:04,791 --> 00:06:07,043
And by uncomplicating, simplifying and enabling ...

93
00:06:07,126 --> 00:06:08,336
DIRECTOR AND PHOTOGRAPHER

94
00:06:08,419 --> 00:06:10,088
... people know they have the option,

95
00:06:10,171 --> 00:06:15,426
Is this alarm clock that is very valuable

96
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:16,886
In a very critical time now.

97
00:06:27,563 --> 00:06:29,607
 My life has reached a point 

98
00:06:29,690 --> 00:06:33,611
 where I no longer knew what was important. 

99
00:06:36,906 --> 00:06:41,661
So, at some point as I approached age 30,

100
00:06:41,994 --> 00:06:44,288
I noticed something different in my best friend.

101
00:06:44,372 --> 00:06:45,832
In their twenties.

102
00:06:46,332 --> 00:06:49,335
 Josh, he seemed happy for the first time 

103
00:06:49,418 --> 00:06:52,338
 in a long time type, really happy, in ecstasy. 

104
00:06:53,589 --> 00:06:56,384
But I did not understand why, because we both worked

105
00:06:56,467 --> 00:06:57,677
In the same corporation.

106
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,847
We both spent our twenties climbing the corporate ladder together,

107
00:07:01,180 --> 00:07:03,808
And he had been as unhappy as I was.

108
00:07:05,309 --> 00:07:07,145
 So I did what any best friend would do. 

109
00:07:07,228 --> 00:07:09,063
 I took it to lunch for something really good ... 

110
00:07:09,188 --> 00:07:12,483
 I think we went to the Subway. And I sat down with him 

111
00:07:12,567 --> 00:07:14,444
 and asked a question. 

112
00:07:16,028 --> 00:07:17,405
Why the hell are you so happy?

113
00:07:18,948 --> 00:07:23,703
He spent the next 20 minutes talking about something called minimalism.

114
00:07:28,416 --> 00:07:30,626
 Before I discovered minimalism, 

115
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:34,088
 I think my life was like with that of any other person. 

116
00:07:34,964 --> 00:07:36,257
 I had many things. 

117
00:07:37,633 --> 00:07:42,638
 Hundreds, thousands of books, DVDs, VHS, 

118
00:07:43,139 --> 00:07:45,683
 cupboards full of expensive clothes. 

119
00:07:46,392 --> 00:07:51,397
 All these things that I had brought into my life without question. 

120
00:07:52,857 --> 00:07:54,275
But when I began to detach myself,

121
00:07:54,358 --> 00:07:56,486
I began to feel freer, happier, lighter.

122
00:07:56,611 --> 00:07:58,070
THE MINIMALISTS

123
00:07:58,154 --> 00:08:02,617
And now, as a minimalist, every thing I have serves a purpose,

124
00:08:03,075 --> 00:08:04,368
Or brings me joy.

125
00:08:06,245 --> 00:08:09,957
I have a bed, a chair, and a radio.

126
00:08:10,041 --> 00:08:13,461
And I have some furniture in my dining room.

127
00:08:13,544 --> 00:08:15,671
I have some appliances in my kitchen.

128
00:08:16,547 --> 00:08:18,758
I do not have any excesses.

129
00:08:21,010 --> 00:08:23,304
Everything I see around

130
00:08:23,387 --> 00:08:26,474
I have to justify myself, not to anyone else,

131
00:08:26,891 --> 00:08:30,561
But justify to me: "Does this add value to my life?"

132
00:08:30,686 --> 00:08:33,397
And if not, I must be willing to undo it.

133
00:08:39,612 --> 00:08:43,783
Ryan and I just wrote a book about our last five years,

134
00:08:43,866 --> 00:08:48,579
From those corporate guys in a suit and tie, to minimalists.

135
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,208
And now we'll hit the road for ten months this year

136
00:08:52,583 --> 00:08:55,002
And promote this book.

137
00:08:55,086 --> 00:08:57,171
But in fact pass a message on which we believe,

138
00:08:57,255 --> 00:09:02,260
A simple message of living more free with less.

139
00:09:02,718 --> 00:09:04,053
I'm gonna need a jacket.

140
00:09:06,305 --> 00:09:08,224
We'll see where the journey will take us.

141
00:09:20,653 --> 00:09:23,656
INTERACTIVE MUSIC FILM

142
00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:27,493
He then presented it as a 12-minute lecture with 8 minutes of reading.

143
00:09:27,577 --> 00:09:28,786
-Right. -Yes.

144
00:09:28,869 --> 00:09:29,954
Cool because only

145
00:09:30,037 --> 00:09:32,206
I do not want to feel rushed in the lecture, that's all.

146
00:09:32,665 --> 00:09:33,791
Right.

147
00:09:33,916 --> 00:09:37,670
CEDO IN THE TURN, JOSHUA AND RYAN PERFORMED A LECTURE IN SOUTH.

148
00:09:37,753 --> 00:09:41,340
THEY HOPE THAT THAT TAKES THE HISTORY OF THEM TO A LARGEST PUBLIC.

149
00:09:42,216 --> 00:09:44,010
-Ready? "I was born soon."

150
00:09:44,093 --> 00:09:45,219
Nice.

151
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,347
Hello, thank you for coming.

152
00:09:48,431 --> 00:09:52,727
My name is Ryan Nicodemus and this is Joshua Fields Millburn.

153
00:09:53,102 --> 00:09:56,814
And together we run a website called theminimalists.com.

154
00:09:58,691 --> 00:10:01,652
 So today, Josh will read something from our book, 

155
00:10:01,736 --> 00:10:03,696
 but first let me tell you a story about how 

156
00:10:03,779 --> 00:10:05,197
 we become the Minimalists. 

157
00:10:07,074 --> 00:10:09,994
We were never expelled, as long as a person appears ...

158
00:10:10,077 --> 00:10:12,163
"That's all that matters. -I feel very good.

159
00:10:12,371 --> 00:10:15,207
We had events where only two people showed up,

160
00:10:15,458 --> 00:10:17,501
 and that was amazing, 

161
00:10:17,585 --> 00:10:20,588
 because we had to spend time with two people and add value 

162
00:10:20,671 --> 00:10:22,131
 their lives in a different way. 

163
00:10:22,798 --> 00:10:24,050
-I'm an embrace, man. -Right.

164
00:10:24,133 --> 00:10:25,551
Thanks for coming, man.

165
00:10:26,344 --> 00:10:28,220
Thanks for coming and attending the lecture, man.

166
00:10:28,304 --> 00:10:29,889
-Cool. Thank you. -It's our pleasure.

167
00:10:29,972 --> 00:10:31,807
Did you forget your Kindle and badge in there?

168
00:10:32,016 --> 00:10:33,267
Yes thanks.

169
00:10:43,819 --> 00:10:46,739
 From the day I was born 

170
00:10:46,947 --> 00:10:51,410
 by the second grade, when my parents divorced, 

171
00:10:51,911 --> 00:10:57,875
I had perfect parents.

172
00:10:59,460 --> 00:11:01,253
 When my mother left my father, 

173
00:11:01,796 --> 00:11:04,799
 it just got really bad. 

174
00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:10,971
 In high school, we had a lot of people at home. 

175
00:11:12,056 --> 00:11:16,060
And then I discovered that they were there smoking crack.

176
00:11:16,894 --> 00:11:18,437
They produced crack.

177
00:11:19,563 --> 00:11:23,234
 In the eighth grade, SWAT invaded our home,

178
00:11:23,317 --> 00:11:25,653
 and arrested my mother for selling drugs. 

179
00:11:27,988 --> 00:11:31,784
It was the drug that beat my mother.

180
00:11:34,328 --> 00:11:36,789
 Josh had a childhood very similar to mine. 

181
00:11:39,417 --> 00:11:41,168
 My first memories of my father 

182
00:11:41,293 --> 00:11:43,838
 They are of him erasing a cigarette on my mother's chest. 

183
00:11:45,756 --> 00:11:50,136
Soon after she left my father, she began to drink.

184
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,932
 My greatest fear was to be taken away from her. 

185
00:11:55,474 --> 00:11:59,395
 When she was sober, she was a phenomenal mother. 

186
00:12:01,021 --> 00:12:02,773
 I think she kind of felt trapped. 

187
00:12:03,941 --> 00:12:06,444
My mother always complained about money.

188
00:12:06,527 --> 00:12:09,029
She had no money.

189
00:12:10,781 --> 00:12:13,200
 I remember growing poor. 

190
00:12:14,869 --> 00:12:19,039
 And I remember thinking when I graduated from high school: 

191
00:12:19,999 --> 00:12:24,003
"I want to start a path that will take me somewhere

192
00:12:24,086 --> 00:12:26,964
Rather than difficulties. "

193
00:12:28,757 --> 00:12:31,552
Eight hundred yards, turn left onto San Pedro Drive.

194
00:12:31,927 --> 00:12:36,098
We're on our way to NPR for a radio interview.

195
00:12:36,432 --> 00:12:38,476
They are our people. Our demographics.

196
00:12:38,976 --> 00:12:39,810
How are you ?

197
00:12:39,894 --> 00:12:42,563
- You're looking for Rick Daniels. -I think so.

198
00:12:42,646 --> 00:12:44,523
-You are the Minimalists. -Yes, we are.

199
00:12:44,857 --> 00:12:45,858
How are you ?

200
00:12:45,941 --> 00:12:47,985
- I'm Scott. - I'm Ryan. I'm a hug, man.

201
00:12:48,068 --> 00:12:50,196
-Nice to meet you. -Thank you for inviting us.

202
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:51,489
Joshua.

203
00:12:53,157 --> 00:12:56,410
 I think the moment I woke up was when I was showing colleagues 

204
00:12:56,494 --> 00:12:58,913
 how to sell cell phones to five year olds. 

205
00:12:59,330 --> 00:13:00,873
 I thought, "What am I doing?" 

206
00:13:01,665 --> 00:13:05,294
This mentality of achieving a better promotion,

207
00:13:05,377 --> 00:13:07,838
Get a better house, a better car,

208
00:13:08,005 --> 00:13:12,468
Get a better salary, be able to pay expensive bills at the bar.

209
00:13:12,843 --> 00:13:16,096
And to do that he had to sell cell phones to five-year-olds.

210
00:13:16,764 --> 00:13:18,182
There's a model out there.

211
00:13:18,265 --> 00:13:19,934
You can call it American Dream,

212
00:13:20,017 --> 00:13:22,144
Or accompany the Joneses, or whatever.

213
00:13:22,645 --> 00:13:24,813
It's just a mold. It is not the mold.

214
00:13:25,940 --> 00:13:27,274
 And when we realize this, 

215
00:13:27,358 --> 00:13:31,779
 I think we can create our own template that works for us. 

216
00:13:37,284 --> 00:13:39,870
 The American Dream has a long history 

217
00:13:40,371 --> 00:13:45,167
 which began as a concept that really was more about opportunity. 

218
00:13:48,629 --> 00:13:50,422
 The US is a land of opportunity 

219
00:13:50,506 --> 00:13:54,552
 where a person can start from the bottom work hard and do well. 

220
00:13:55,844 --> 00:14:00,432
There is no doubt that what it means to have achieved

221
00:14:00,558 --> 00:14:03,602
Or have achieved the American Dream in the United States

222
00:14:03,686 --> 00:14:07,314
Has increased tremendously in material terms.

223
00:14:07,856 --> 00:14:10,651
 One hundred thousand dollars or more of income per year 

224
00:14:10,734 --> 00:14:13,821
 has become more and more a standard desire 

225
00:14:13,904 --> 00:14:16,740
 in society, because that is portrayed 

226
00:14:16,824 --> 00:14:18,325
 as normal on TV, 

227
00:14:19,827 --> 00:14:22,079
A six-figure income.

228
00:14:25,499 --> 00:14:28,335
 Beginning around the mid of the 1990s, 

229
00:14:28,419 --> 00:14:32,006
 Americans entered a fever of consumerism probably 

230
00:14:32,089 --> 00:14:34,091
 unprecedented in the history of mankind. 

231
00:14:34,174 --> 00:14:38,971
AVERAGE DOMESTIC EXPENSES

232
00:14:39,054 --> 00:14:42,224
 And much of this has to do with the cheapness of the products

233
00:14:42,308 --> 00:14:44,602
 originating mainly from China. 

234
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,693
 Whether talking about clothes, electronics, 

235
00:14:53,777 --> 00:14:55,696
 all kinds of household goods. 

236
00:15:00,868 --> 00:15:03,037
Things are cheaper, but more available.

237
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,580

 LIFEEDITED FOUNDER

00:15:05,956 --> 00:15:07,291
There are big stores that sell everything.

240
00:15:09,376 --> 00:15:11,420
 We end up accumulating a lot of things. 

241
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,882
 So much so that even if you have 

242
00:15:14,965 --> 00:15:16,550
 about three times the space per person 

243
00:15:16,634 --> 00:15:19,720
 we used to have in the 50's, so much more space ... 

244
00:15:20,721 --> 00:15:23,766
We have so many things that we need more space than that,

245
00:15:23,849 --> 00:15:28,437
 and then there is a storage industry of 2.2 billion square meters ... 

246
00:15:29,813 --> 00:15:31,231
Which is ridiculous.

247
00:15:33,776 --> 00:15:35,402
 And we have people 

248
00:15:35,819 --> 00:15:39,740
 living in huge houses. And if you really repair, 

249
00:15:39,823 --> 00:15:42,409
 People do not use the space they have. 

250
00:15:42,868 --> 00:15:45,162
A study was carried out which showed a heat map of, type,

251
00:15:45,245 --> 00:15:46,956
Where people moved in their homes ...

DIR.LIFEEDITED COMMUNICATION 

253
00:15:48,499 --> 00:15:50,000
Over a normal day.

254
00:15:50,084 --> 00:15:52,586
A family of four, in a middle house.

255
00:15:52,670 --> 00:15:56,048
 And what was discovered is that people used, perhaps, 

256
00:15:56,131 --> 00:15:58,884
 forty percent of their space. 

257
00:15:59,301 --> 00:16:00,719
No one used the dining room.

258
00:16:01,053 --> 00:16:02,429
No one uses the living room.

259
00:16:02,513 --> 00:16:04,306
There was a large balcony.

260
00:16:04,390 --> 00:16:06,058
Nobody used the balcony.

261
00:16:06,141 --> 00:16:08,018
You know, I'm not saying that's how everyone lives.

262
00:16:08,102 --> 00:16:10,896
Some people use dining rooms, but it creates this big void.

263
00:16:10,980 --> 00:16:14,066
 you need to fill, so people play lots of crap in their homes,

264
00:16:14,149 --> 00:16:15,234
 things you do not need. 

265
00:16:19,989 --> 00:16:21,365
 We are living our lives 

266
00:16:21,448 --> 00:16:22,741
 according to the space we have 

267
00:16:22,825 --> 00:16:25,411
 instead of creating our space to fit our life. 

268
00:16:28,205 --> 00:16:31,375
It's so easy to choose wrong, and you're done.

269
00:16:31,458 --> 00:16:33,460
With three dining tables in the same house.

ARCHITECT

271
00:16:34,628 --> 00:16:38,465
Well, you need to run around enough to eat at three tables at once.

272
00:16:39,258 --> 00:16:45,472
Nothing is more responsible than living in the smallest place you can.

273
00:16:49,727 --> 00:16:56,066
 We probably sell or donate, say, at least 90 percent of our things. 

274
00:16:57,109 --> 00:17:00,779
 You can not take all your things to a small house. 

275
00:17:03,282 --> 00:17:04,908
I wasted two hours a day commuting ...

276
00:17:04,992 --> 00:17:05,868
PLAINTIFF:

277
00:17:05,951 --> 00:17:10,372
... and then staying in a cubicle, ten to twelve hours a day.

278
00:17:10,456 --> 00:17:13,000
She had been very fat. I was unhappy.

279
00:17:13,459 --> 00:17:16,462
And I kept thinking, "What's wrong with me?

280
00:17:16,545 --> 00:17:18,881
I should be happy. I have all these things.

281
00:17:19,089 --> 00:17:21,258
 A beautiful house, a great husband. 

282
00:17:22,051 --> 00:17:24,053
 And Logan was kind of like, "Well, 

283
00:17:24,553 --> 00:17:27,056
 you could probably quit your job 

284
00:17:27,139 --> 00:17:31,060
 if we simplified and moved to a smaller place. 

285
00:17:31,393 --> 00:17:33,479
And I would say, "What the hell are you talking about?

286
00:17:33,562 --> 00:17:35,481
I do not want to get rid of my things. "

287
00:17:36,148 --> 00:17:39,359
 I found a video on YouTube, saw the little houses, 

288
00:17:39,443 --> 00:17:40,444
 and I was thrilled. 

289
00:17:45,282 --> 00:17:46,408
Hi, Earl.

290
00:17:47,201 --> 00:17:48,410
What's up, dude?

291
00:17:51,413 --> 00:17:54,166
 I think the most important thing for me, at least at the beginning, 

292
00:17:54,249 --> 00:17:56,668
 was the financial side of things. 

293
00:17:57,503 --> 00:18:00,297
 When we saw our budget and the values, 

294
00:18:00,589 --> 00:18:03,467
 I was like, Let's just try. 

295
00:18:04,093 --> 00:18:07,387
If I loathe the smaller apartment, we can always go for a bigger one. "

296
00:18:10,182 --> 00:18:13,185
 I think there is this element of accessibility, 

297
00:18:13,352 --> 00:18:16,605
 simplicity and sustainability that simply does 

298
00:18:16,688 --> 00:18:19,191
 small houses look like the perfect solution 

299
00:18:19,274 --> 00:18:21,819
 for a problem that we have not yet resolved, 

300
00:18:22,444 --> 00:18:24,363
That is: how are we going to work?

301

DESIGNER SMALL HOUSES

302
00:18:25,531 --> 00:18:26,782
... for our whole life.

303
00:18:26,865 --> 00:18:29,618
For one to enjoy life with a little work here and there?

304
00:18:31,829 --> 00:18:34,456
 For a long time when people were wanting

305
00:18:34,540 --> 00:18:37,209
 buy the first home, they looked at their budgets 

306
00:18:37,292 --> 00:18:39,670
 and said: "How much money do I need to spend?" 

307
00:18:39,878 --> 00:18:44,675
 "I have $ 500,000, I will buy what $ 500,000 can buy."

308
00:18:45,050 --> 00:18:48,887
 And the big mistake was that these people 

309
00:18:48,971 --> 00:18:51,014
They did not have $ 500,000.

310
00:18:51,223 --> 00:18:55,018
They had a loan that guaranteed them that amount.

311
00:18:56,270 --> 00:18:59,273
And, of course, after a few years of people buying houses

312
00:18:59,356 --> 00:19:01,358
Who, in fact, were not buying,

313
00:19:01,441 --> 00:19:04,194
They only hoped to buy it someday,

314
00:19:04,653 --> 00:19:06,321
The real estate market collapsed.

315
00:19:06,405 --> 00:19:09,408
We fall 1.7 percent here, a loss of 37 points or more.

316
00:19:09,491 --> 00:19:11,285
Apple shares are plummeting today.

317
00:19:11,368 --> 00:19:13,829
We are down three or four percentage points

318
00:19:13,912 --> 00:19:15,330
On average in these markets.

319
00:19:15,414 --> 00:19:16,832
Let's talk about speed

320
00:19:16,915 --> 00:19:18,792
With which we see this market deteriorate.

321
00:19:18,876 --> 00:19:23,505
It was Wall Street's worst day since the 1987 crisis.

322
00:19:23,589 --> 00:19:27,050
This may be the worst recession in decades.

323
00:19:27,134 --> 00:19:30,304
And it means that life, as most Americans know, is about to change.

324
00:19:30,387 --> 00:19:32,264
In some cases, dramatically.

325
00:19:32,347 --> 00:19:34,850
I think where that left us,

326
00:19:34,975 --> 00:19:41,064
On the verge of a recession, it was a great

327
00:19:41,148 --> 00:19:44,902
 to buy a house of their own. 

328
00:19:48,322 --> 00:19:50,449
The vision that really came withLifeEdited 

329
00:19:50,532 --> 00:19:53,952
It's simply, "Hey, I think we need to take a step back here."

330
00:19:55,454 --> 00:19:58,123
 We are basically a company focused on a mission. 

331
00:19:58,582 --> 00:20:01,960
The mission of doing more with less.

332
00:20:03,462 --> 00:20:05,797
 Then the prototype apartment fromLifeEdited

333
00:20:05,881 --> 00:20:10,677
 started with me buying a 40 square meter land in New York

334
00:20:11,345 --> 00:20:15,140
And launching a very aggressive program.

335
00:20:15,349 --> 00:20:17,184
 What I was wanting was a lot. 

336
00:20:20,604 --> 00:20:24,650
 Living at home for a couple, being able to sit down for dinner 

337
00:20:24,733 --> 00:20:28,820
 to 10 or 12, to be able to receive guests in a civilized way. 

338
00:20:30,197 --> 00:20:33,700
 And be able to work from home with some kind of desk. 

339
00:20:35,369 --> 00:20:40,916
 Very quickly, I realized that a small place made a lot more sense

340
00:20:40,999 --> 00:20:44,378
With respect to the environment, but also made more sense in other respects.

341
00:20:46,255 --> 00:20:49,549
 One of the things we really want to do is design houses based 

342
00:20:49,633 --> 00:20:54,054
 in A, how people live, and B, what really matters: 

343
00:20:54,137 --> 00:20:56,139
Creating more social houses, you know, houses that actually

344
00:20:56,223 --> 00:20:57,849
Approach people from one another.

345
00:20:59,226 --> 00:21:01,436
 It was an incredible experience, 

346
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,439
 why change a space of 110 square meters, 

347
00:21:04,523 --> 00:21:06,191
I've never felt more at peace in my life.

ILLUSTRATOR AND DESIGNER

349
00:21:07,985 --> 00:21:09,569
 There are less things to worry about. 

350
00:21:09,653 --> 00:21:11,488
 Our overhead was lower. 

351
00:21:11,989 --> 00:21:14,032
 That's when I started saying: 

352
00:21:14,116 --> 00:21:17,369
"You know, thisLifeEdited thing,this philosophy,

353
00:21:18,203 --> 00:21:20,205
Maybe there's something in it. "

354
00:21:21,498 --> 00:21:23,709
 A beautiful future for us 

355
00:21:24,084 --> 00:21:27,546
 would be to do a very good financial development,

356
00:21:28,380 --> 00:21:30,173
 had a much lower cost, 

357
00:21:30,632 --> 00:21:33,593
 and had many developers copying what we do. 

358
00:21:33,927 --> 00:21:38,890
So that this spread and we began to change the way we live as Americans

359
00:21:38,974 --> 00:21:42,769
And change that philosophy of how much bigger, better.

360
00:21:44,021 --> 00:21:46,356
I think we just started to re-examine the meaning

361
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,401
To succeed in life.

362
00:21:49,484 --> 00:21:51,486
 But it's not that white fence anymore. 

363
00:21:51,570 --> 00:21:52,904
 It's not that McMansion anymore. 

364
00:21:52,988 --> 00:21:55,157
 I think people are starting 

365
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,200
 to notice that may have fallen into a trap, 

366
00:21:58,285 --> 00:22:02,581
And who may have more control over their options

367
00:22:02,706 --> 00:22:04,041
Than they thought they had.

368
00:22:11,673 --> 00:22:14,009
 We're sharing a recipe. 

369
00:22:14,092 --> 00:22:16,136
 You know, we're not here trying to convert. 

370
00:22:16,219 --> 00:22:18,764
 We're not trying to convert anyone to minimalism. 

371
00:22:19,139 --> 00:22:21,016
 But I want to share a recipe and see 

372
00:22:21,099 --> 00:22:24,811
 if there are ingredients that are valuable for other people, 

373
00:22:24,895 --> 00:22:28,648
 to apply these ingredients in their own lives. 

374
00:22:30,525 --> 00:22:32,527
There is this basic dissatisfaction,

375
00:22:32,611 --> 00:22:36,031
And I think it starts to manifest in our things.

376
00:22:36,114 --> 00:22:38,200
And what I'm discovering as we travel,

377
00:22:38,283 --> 00:22:40,035
 and we talked to so many people, 

378
00:22:40,410 --> 00:22:44,706
 is that everyone is looking for meaning for their lives. 

379
00:22:49,044 --> 00:22:50,712
We're at the Tucson Book Festival.

380
00:22:50,879 --> 00:22:52,672
 We are getting ready, sign some books ... 

381
00:22:53,673 --> 00:22:56,301
 and then, shortly after, we will give our talk. 

382
00:22:59,805 --> 00:23:02,682
Dude, look at all these people waiting for us to sign the books.

383
00:23:04,893 --> 00:23:06,436
Let's stay out here.

384
00:23:07,354 --> 00:23:09,147
It does not seem like it's us.

385
00:23:09,314 --> 00:23:10,899
If a person comes,

386
00:23:11,566 --> 00:23:14,069
So let's go ahead and stay there.

387
00:23:15,821 --> 00:23:16,988
Right.

388
00:23:17,781 --> 00:23:19,116
-How are you? -I love your things.

389
00:23:19,199 --> 00:23:21,326
Thank you. I'm a hug, man. I will hug you.

390
00:23:21,451 --> 00:23:25,372
Yes, I follow you on Facebook and you will speak on this afternoon.

391
00:23:25,497 --> 00:23:26,623
What time will it be?

392
00:23:27,207 --> 00:23:28,708
 At 7:00 p.m. 

393
00:23:28,792 --> 00:23:29,835
THEATER GALLAGHER

394
00:23:30,961 --> 00:23:32,754
 Imagine a life with less. 

395
00:23:33,839 --> 00:23:38,301
Less things, less clutter, less stress,

396
00:23:38,426 --> 00:23:41,471
Debt and dissatisfaction.

397
00:23:41,555 --> 00:23:43,682
A life with fewer distractions.

398
00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:46,143
 Now imagine a life with more. 

399
00:23:46,434 --> 00:23:49,563
 More time, more meaningful relationships, 

400
00:23:50,272 --> 00:23:53,692
More growth, contribution and contentment.

401
00:23:55,318 --> 00:23:57,445
 It's funny because people will surely come to us 

402
00:23:57,529 --> 00:24:00,282
 and will speak, like: "I'm not a minimalist like you." 

403
00:24:00,365 --> 00:24:03,368
I have a collection of books and I love books.

404
00:24:03,451 --> 00:24:07,539
And I have a great, beautiful library and I love the smell of the books.

405
00:24:07,622 --> 00:24:09,749
I love turning the pages. I love what you make me feel.

406
00:24:09,833 --> 00:24:11,459
I love lending them to my friends.

407
00:24:11,543 --> 00:24:13,670
And then talk about them. "

408
00:24:14,087 --> 00:24:16,631
And I say, "Hey, keep your books."

409
00:24:17,340 --> 00:24:19,801
 "It seems like you value your books a lot." 

410
00:24:20,135 --> 00:24:22,512
And that's what I'd say about any kind of collection.

411
00:24:23,555 --> 00:24:25,348
If you get a book or whatever, that's fine.

412
00:24:25,432 --> 00:24:26,933
Just minimize it later.

413
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,146
But I'd like to get a hug from you too, you know,

414
00:24:31,229 --> 00:24:34,608
We are big huggers. They are free and transferable.

415
00:24:34,691 --> 00:24:36,484
Get one of us later.

416
00:24:50,457 --> 00:24:52,000
 I was 27 years old. 

417
00:24:52,834 --> 00:24:56,963
 I was director of operations of 150 retail stores. 

418
00:24:57,422 --> 00:24:59,925
 It was December 23, 2008, 

419
00:25:01,426 --> 00:25:04,387
I got a call from my mother.

420
00:25:05,972 --> 00:25:08,016
 I emailed because I was in a meeting. 

421
00:25:09,142 --> 00:25:12,812
 At 7:00 PM, looking at a flood of e-mails, 

422
00:25:13,730 --> 00:25:17,734
 I noticed that I had a lot of voice messages. 

423
00:25:19,444 --> 00:25:23,531
An era of my mother, she was sober for a while,

424
00:25:23,782 --> 00:25:26,076
But I could tell by the message that she had drunk.

425
00:25:29,079 --> 00:25:30,497
 In her voicemail, 

426
00:25:30,997 --> 00:25:34,292
 She simply said, "Honey, it's me." 

427
00:25:35,460 --> 00:25:36,753
 Can you call me back? 

428
00:25:40,674 --> 00:25:44,052
She told me the doctors had found something.

429
00:25:48,556 --> 00:25:52,018
And she discovered that she had stage four lung cancer.

430
00:25:53,186 --> 00:25:56,273
 She underwent chemo and radiotherapy, 

431
00:25:56,731 --> 00:25:59,734
 but in stage four, you can not usually escape. 

432
00:26:00,735 --> 00:26:03,613
I went to the hospital. My mother was still in bed.

433
00:26:05,573 --> 00:26:08,118
It was the first time I cried in my adult life.

434
00:26:09,703 --> 00:26:11,830
 I sobbed wildly. 

435
00:26:12,330 --> 00:26:13,957
 I kept saying I was sorry. 

436
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,168
 I did not even know at the time why I said that. 

437
00:26:17,252 --> 00:26:19,838
 It was simply the only thing I could say. 

438
00:26:21,506 --> 00:26:24,301
 I really wanted to spend more time with her.

439
00:26:33,893 --> 00:26:37,314
"My mother's death still surrounds me.

440
00:26:38,106 --> 00:26:42,902
And now, in the same month, my six-year marriage ends.

441
00:26:45,613 --> 00:26:47,657
But even while Rome is burning,

442
00:26:47,741 --> 00:26:51,619
There is still time for some shopping at IKEA.

443
00:26:52,662 --> 00:26:55,790
See? When I left the house earlier in the week, loading

444
00:26:55,874 --> 00:26:59,544
My many belongings in large packages, boxes

445
00:26:59,669 --> 00:27:03,214
And in giant backpacks, my first impulse

446
00:27:03,298 --> 00:27:07,594
Was, of course, to buy the things I

447
00:27:08,303 --> 00:27:10,263
I still needed it for my new home.

448
00:27:11,097 --> 00:27:13,558
 You know, just the basics. 

449
00:27:14,267 --> 00:27:17,812
 A shower curtain, towels, a bed, and, 

450
00:27:17,896 --> 00:27:20,565
 I need a sofa and a matching leather chair, 

451
00:27:20,648 --> 00:27:26,029
 and an armchair, a lamp, a table with chair, 

452
00:27:26,112 --> 00:27:27,822
 and another lamp there. 

453
00:27:28,323 --> 00:27:30,283
 Of course, I can not forget the shelf 

454
00:27:30,367 --> 00:27:33,578
 that matches the small table and the wardrobe for the bedroom. 

455
00:27:33,661 --> 00:27:37,082
 I need a coffee table and a couple of small tables, 

456
00:27:37,374 --> 00:27:40,377
 and a support for the TV that i still need to buy. 

457
00:27:41,628 --> 00:27:42,921
And now that I think about it,

458
00:27:43,004 --> 00:27:47,342
I'm going to want my apartment to be my style, you know,

459
00:27:47,801 --> 00:27:49,052
In my own way.

460
00:27:49,552 --> 00:27:52,680
So I need certain decorations to decorate everything my way.

461
00:27:53,306 --> 00:27:56,101
But wait, what is my style anyway?

462
00:27:56,601 --> 00:27:58,561
 And these stainless steel frames 

463
00:27:58,645 --> 00:28:00,522
 express this type of style? 

464
00:28:01,064 --> 00:28:03,900
 This Matisse sketch replica accurately captures

465
00:28:03,983 --> 00:28:07,112
 my aggressive temper, but professional? 

466
00:28:08,029 --> 00:28:09,614
How aggressive am I exactly?

467
00:28:11,324 --> 00:28:14,494
 What coffee maker defines me as a man? 

468
00:28:15,245 --> 00:28:17,705
 The fact that I am doing these questions

469
00:28:17,789 --> 00:28:22,127
 to be a "male man"? 

470
00:28:23,420 --> 00:28:26,256
 How many plates, and cups, and saucers does a man have? 

471
00:28:26,756 --> 00:28:29,050
 I think I need a dinner table too, right? 

472
00:28:29,134 --> 00:28:32,804
 And a mat for the entrance, and a bath mat. 

473
00:28:32,887 --> 00:28:34,806
And that business, that business.

474
00:28:34,889 --> 00:28:37,142
That looks like a rug, only longer?

475
00:28:38,017 --> 00:28:39,310
Yes, a mat.

476
00:28:40,145 --> 00:28:41,730
I'll need one, too.

477
00:28:42,731 --> 00:28:48,403
And I'm going to need ... Damn, what else do I need? "

478
00:28:59,998 --> 00:29:02,876
 My name is Sam Harris. I am an author and a neuroscientist, 

479
00:29:02,959 --> 00:29:06,713
And I'm interested in how our growing understanding

480
00:29:06,796 --> 00:29:10,967
About ourselves can scientifically, and should, and really

481
00:29:11,050 --> 00:29:13,428
Should change our conception

482
00:29:13,511 --> 00:29:15,680
Of what it means to live a good life.

483
00:29:16,848 --> 00:29:22,020
 Gratifying desires in a very materialistic way 

484
00:29:22,228 --> 00:29:24,606
 is really an interesting phenomenon. 

485
00:29:25,815 --> 00:29:28,860
 You can have this thing you were obsessed about. 

486
00:29:29,819 --> 00:29:32,572
 But then a new version is released, 

487
00:29:32,655 --> 00:29:35,533
 which is more modern and has dozens of improvements. 

488
00:29:36,284 --> 00:29:37,869
 When it comes to the new, modern, 

489
00:29:37,952 --> 00:29:39,871
 the most desired status symbols, 

490
00:29:39,954 --> 00:29:43,416
You can bet consumers will wait long hours in line for one.

491
00:29:47,712 --> 00:29:50,131
 And now you no longer care for what you have. 

492
00:29:50,215 --> 00:29:53,092
 In fact, the one you have is source of dissatisfaction. 

493
00:29:54,928 --> 00:29:58,306
I think we are confused about what will make us happy.

494
00:29:58,473 --> 00:30:02,560
 Many people think that material possessions are really

495
00:30:02,644 --> 00:30:03,978
 at the heart of everything, 

496
00:30:04,062 --> 00:30:07,649
 and they expect that satisfying every wish as they arise 

497
00:30:07,732 --> 00:30:11,069
 will in some way provide a satisfying life for them. 

498
00:30:14,322 --> 00:30:15,406
Faculty of Social Work

499
00:30:15,490 --> 00:30:17,992
It is clear that, as human beings ...

500
00:30:18,076 --> 00:30:19,661
PHD. COMPULSIVE ACCUMULATION

501
00:30:19,744 --> 00:30:22,372
... we have strong attachment initially

502
00:30:22,455 --> 00:30:25,166
In our lives for the people who are taking care of us.

503
00:30:26,084 --> 00:30:29,754
 And sometimes it seems that this attachment is redirected 

504
00:30:29,838 --> 00:30:34,050
 for objects, as if they were as important as people. 

505
00:30:35,343 --> 00:30:38,179
I'm not sure if we have such a good relationship like this.

506
00:30:38,263 --> 00:30:39,347
With things.

507
00:30:47,605 --> 00:30:49,440
Give me that box!

508
00:30:50,191 --> 00:30:51,609
Get off of me!

509
00:30:51,693 --> 00:30:53,486
Why are you being so aggressive?

510
00:30:53,570 --> 00:30:54,821
____You are scaring me!

511
00:30:58,992 --> 00:31:02,996
 I was talking with author and sociologist Juliet Schor. 

512
00:31:03,204 --> 00:31:04,914
And I said: "The problem of our society ...

513
00:31:04,998 --> 00:31:06,124
AUTHOR OFNO IMPACT MAN 

514
00:31:06,207 --> 00:31:07,542
... is to be too materialistic.

515
00:31:09,419 --> 00:31:12,088
 And she actually said that if we think in some ways, 

516
00:31:12,297 --> 00:31:14,048
 we are not materialistic enough. 

517
00:31:16,634 --> 00:31:20,305
 We are very materialistic in the sense of everyday. 

518
00:31:20,555 --> 00:31:23,516
And we are not too materialistic

519
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,184
In the real sense of the word.

520
00:31:25,476 --> 00:31:27,812
 We need to be true materialists, 

521
00:31:27,896 --> 00:31:29,981
 we really care about material goods. 

522
00:31:30,523 --> 00:31:34,569
 Instead, we are in a world where material goods are 

523
00:31:34,777 --> 00:31:37,363
 very important for their symbolic meanings, 

524
00:31:37,739 --> 00:31:40,992
How they position us in the status system,

525
00:31:41,075 --> 00:31:44,287
Based on what the advertisement or the media says about them.

526
00:31:50,376 --> 00:31:56,257
The status quo in the fashion industry is now driven by short fashion.

527
00:31:56,925 --> 00:31:59,093
 Maybe when our moms bought clothes 

528
00:31:59,177 --> 00:32:01,888
 or our grandparents, there were four seasons in the year. 

529
00:32:02,263 --> 00:32:03,765
Or maybe even two.

530
00:32:03,848 --> 00:32:05,767
You are dressed for cold or for warmth.

531
00:32:05,850 --> 00:32:09,729
 Now we work on a cycle of 52 stations per year. 

532
00:32:18,613 --> 00:32:21,199
 They want you to feel out of fashion 

533
00:32:21,282 --> 00:32:23,701
Week after week so you can buy something new

534
00:32:23,785 --> 00:32:24,953
next week.

535
00:32:26,621 --> 00:32:28,247
 There have even been reports 

536
00:32:28,331 --> 00:32:32,293
 of great fashion retailers getting rid of all clothing

537
00:32:32,377 --> 00:32:35,964
 a week, pricking them with scissors, destroying them, 

538
00:32:36,047 --> 00:32:37,924
 and leaving everything on the side of the street 

539
00:32:38,007 --> 00:32:41,010
 so nobody could resell them or even use them. 

540
00:32:42,470 --> 00:32:47,558
 They want consumers to buy as fast as possible. 

541
00:32:50,103 --> 00:32:51,646
The era of short-lived fashion,

542
00:32:51,729 --> 00:32:54,065
In which we produce clothing with abusive work

543
00:32:54,148 --> 00:32:55,775
So that we do not pay the labor cost

544
00:32:55,858 --> 00:32:57,819
 and we do not pay the ecological cost 

545
00:32:57,902 --> 00:33:00,488
 of these things, reduced both the price of clothing 

546
00:33:00,571 --> 00:33:04,325
 what used clothes practically lost the value. 

547
00:33:05,535 --> 00:33:08,621
 I like to think rice and beans cost more than used clothing. 

548
00:33:09,497 --> 00:33:14,419
In historical terms, it's a world turned inside out.

549
00:33:15,044 --> 00:33:17,672
 And this represents the economy 

550
00:33:17,755 --> 00:33:22,385
 of an extreme and deep unsustainability. 

551
00:33:23,761 --> 00:33:27,598
To a scholar of such things, it is breathtaking and terrifying.

552
00:33:30,018 --> 00:33:32,353
 The short fashion was what happened to the clothing

553
00:33:32,437 --> 00:33:35,106
 and then expanded to the consumer goods sector. 

554
00:33:35,857 --> 00:33:37,900
 Almost everything from home right now 

555
00:33:37,984 --> 00:33:40,903
 becomes a fashion object, 

556
00:33:40,987 --> 00:33:44,991
 and this was simply a dramatic transformation. 

557
00:33:45,950 --> 00:33:48,828
If you think about the concept of fashion,

558
00:33:48,911 --> 00:33:52,707
It incorporates the idea that you can

559
00:33:52,790 --> 00:33:55,668
 throw things away not when they no longer serve, 

560
00:33:55,752 --> 00:33:57,587
 but when they do not have plus that social value 

561
00:33:57,670 --> 00:33:59,881
 or are no longer in fashion. 

562
00:34:02,508 --> 00:34:04,594
I think people buy because they are ...

563
00:34:04,677 --> 00:34:05,845
AUTHOR OFZEN HABITS 

564
00:34:05,928 --> 00:34:08,097
... trying to fill that emptiness within them.

565
00:34:08,181 --> 00:34:10,016
 I know this because it was me. 

566
00:34:10,933 --> 00:34:12,977
 But no matter how many things we buy, 

567
00:34:13,061 --> 00:34:14,896
 or how many different fads we try, 

568
00:34:14,979 --> 00:34:17,148
We do not become a more complete person.

569
00:34:17,231 --> 00:34:18,316
We keep looking.

570
00:34:18,399 --> 00:34:20,193
 This hunger is never satiated. 

571
00:34:21,611 --> 00:34:24,197
 I think the reason is in fact 

572
00:34:24,530 --> 00:34:27,617
 that you can never have enough of what you really do not want. 

573
00:34:28,076 --> 00:34:30,203
In other words, deep down, we really

574
00:34:30,286 --> 00:34:33,498
We do not want more things, more toys, more cars.

575
00:34:33,581 --> 00:34:36,167
We want what they will bring to us.

576
00:34:36,709 --> 00:34:38,252
 We want to feel complete. 

577
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,338
 We want to feel satisfied. 

578
00:34:43,007 --> 00:34:46,511
 This irrational consumption, the same thing 

579
00:34:46,636 --> 00:34:49,222
Which is not making us happy, is also causing

580
00:34:49,305 --> 00:34:51,390
The degradation of our habitat.

581
00:34:51,974 --> 00:34:55,937
 We can have 350 parts per million carbon dioxide 

582
00:34:56,020 --> 00:34:57,688
 in the atmosphere. 

583
00:34:57,772 --> 00:35:00,608
We are approaching 400 parts per million.

584
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:04,278
 This is being caused by burning oil, natural gas, coal,

585
00:35:04,403 --> 00:35:08,157
 of all the fuels we use to fuel our consumer economy, 

586
00:35:08,241 --> 00:35:10,952
 to feed the industries who do the things we do not need. 

587
00:35:11,494 --> 00:35:15,873
This is real, and we really need to do something about it.

588
00:35:16,749 --> 00:35:18,459
 We will never be able 

589
00:35:18,543 --> 00:35:21,879
To achieve improvements in the environment

590
00:35:21,963 --> 00:35:26,008
That we seek, if we continue to wait for our lives to be the same.

591
00:35:26,134 --> 00:35:27,635
 We'll have to give up a lot. 

592
00:35:27,718 --> 00:35:29,262
FRENESI BLACK FRIDAY INVADING DURING NIGHT

593
00:35:34,058 --> 00:35:36,686
The secret is that many of these things will not be needed.

594
00:35:46,279 --> 00:35:49,115
About four years ago or more

595
00:35:49,198 --> 00:35:50,658
Who technically have no home,

596
00:35:50,741 --> 00:35:53,661
But I go to new countries and rent apartments,

597
00:35:53,744 --> 00:35:56,455
So it's from house to house.

598
00:35:56,539 --> 00:35:58,040
Or maybe full of houses.

599
00:35:58,124 --> 00:36:01,377
I simply have many houses, not just in one place,

600
00:36:01,460 --> 00:36:03,713
not for long. It's always interesting.

601
00:36:03,796 --> 00:36:05,882
 Go on a date or something and need to explain: 

602
00:36:05,965 --> 00:36:07,466
 "Yes, I do not have a home." 

603
00:36:08,384 --> 00:36:10,052
Maybe I should not start with that.

604
00:36:15,016 --> 00:36:17,643
 When I began to reduce the number of things in my life,

605
00:36:17,727 --> 00:36:19,562
 and started to get rid of basically everything 

606
00:36:19,645 --> 00:36:22,690
That did not fit in these bags, I went and took pictures of everything ...

607
00:36:22,815 --> 00:36:23,774
ENTREPRENEUR, TRAVELER IN COMPREHENSIVE TIME

608
00:36:23,858 --> 00:36:25,526
... that I had in the world and I counted.

609
00:36:26,152 --> 00:36:30,156
 As a result, I discovered that I had 51 things in the whole world. 

610
00:36:32,491 --> 00:36:35,077
 I started living this way about four years ago. 

611
00:36:35,244 --> 00:36:37,288
 I was managing a studio. 

612
00:36:37,413 --> 00:36:40,041
I've always wanted to travel the world,

613
00:36:40,124 --> 00:36:42,668
And had never left the country.

614
00:36:42,835 --> 00:36:45,963
And that was kind of a sign of my failure in many ways.

615
00:36:46,923 --> 00:36:50,885
 So I started a blog, I left my career in Los Angeles behind, 

616
00:36:51,052 --> 00:36:52,845
 and started looking for something new, 

617
00:36:53,012 --> 00:36:55,806
 Something a little different, and something a bit more aligned 

618
00:36:55,890 --> 00:36:58,267
With what I wanted from my life.

619
00:36:58,351 --> 00:37:01,646
And now I carry everything I own in my back,

620
00:37:01,729 --> 00:37:03,981
As well as a hermit crab or a turtle.

621
00:37:05,566 --> 00:37:07,443
 I was able to get rid of everything 

622
00:37:07,526 --> 00:37:11,364
 that I had and that did not fit in a carry-on, 

623
00:37:11,447 --> 00:37:13,908
 what a great decision and not something 

624
00:37:13,991 --> 00:37:15,910
 I've waited since the beginning. 

625
00:37:16,702 --> 00:37:19,247
I realized quickly that I would not need so much.

626
00:37:19,330 --> 00:37:23,626
And I came to the conclusion that everything I left behind

627
00:37:23,709 --> 00:37:25,795
Would probably be left behind forever.

628
00:37:30,633 --> 00:37:35,346
What did this, after all, know that this path had been trodden,

629
00:37:35,429 --> 00:37:39,267
The direction in which I was going, and these people, men and women

630
00:37:39,475 --> 00:37:41,519
Successful, with all that money and prestige,

631
00:37:41,602 --> 00:37:44,605
And all this professional history,

632
00:37:45,147 --> 00:37:46,524
 they were not happy. 

633
00:37:47,316 --> 00:37:50,486
 They are very successful, but not in an absolute sense. 

634
00:37:50,569 --> 00:37:53,197
 Your dollars and cents indicate success. 

635
00:37:53,281 --> 00:37:55,908
 It seemed much more likely that I could find something, 

636
00:37:55,992 --> 00:37:58,786
 find a definition of success that would really take me

637
00:37:58,869 --> 00:38:02,790
 to a place where I would be equally successful and very happy. 

638
00:38:05,543 --> 00:38:09,422
 It seems that money can buy happiness in a way. 

639
00:38:10,715 --> 00:38:15,845
 In world surveys, for people of less than $ 70,000 per year, 

640
00:38:16,012 --> 00:38:18,806
 add greater material well-being 

641
00:38:18,889 --> 00:38:22,268
Is correlated with psychological well-being.

642
00:38:23,019 --> 00:38:26,022
 But when you begin to overcome this difficult limit to reach, 

643
00:38:26,272 --> 00:38:28,065
 Money does not buy happiness. 

644
00:38:28,733 --> 00:38:31,110
You can make more money, but you will not be happier.

645
00:38:31,694 --> 00:38:33,654
 Jim Carrey has a phrase that says: 

646
00:38:33,738 --> 00:38:35,906
 "I wish all to become rich and famous, 

647
00:38:35,990 --> 00:38:38,075
 so they realize that this is not the answer. "

648
00:38:38,909 --> 00:38:41,287
 The first answer is always this. 

649
00:38:41,620 --> 00:38:44,373
"Well, it's easy for Jim Carrey to say, he's rich and famous, right?"

650
00:38:44,457 --> 00:38:46,042
 CLUTTERFREE WITH KIDS AUTHOR 

651
00:38:46,125 --> 00:38:49,211
And I think, "Wait, who else could say that?"

652
00:38:50,087 --> 00:38:53,591
 I would need to be someone rich and famous to say: 

653
00:38:53,674 --> 00:38:55,593
 "Not worth it." 

654
00:38:57,428 --> 00:38:59,930
 We all need to have our basic needs met. 

655
00:39:00,598 --> 00:39:02,058
Have a house, food on the table ...

656
00:39:02,141 --> 00:39:03,351
AUTHOR,YOU CAN BUY HAPPINESS 

657
00:39:03,434 --> 00:39:04,435
... you know, have security,

658
00:39:05,019 --> 00:39:07,146
 It is very important to recognize this, 

659
00:39:07,229 --> 00:39:09,273
 Because not everyone has these things. 

660
00:39:10,441 --> 00:39:11,525
ENOUGH AUTHOR 

661
00:39:11,609 --> 00:39:15,196
You think that more money will give you more security.

662
00:39:16,322 --> 00:39:18,199
 The problem is that you do not necessarily 

663
00:39:18,282 --> 00:39:20,910
 has control over earning more. 

664
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,538
One thing you have control of is spending less.

665
00:39:25,164 --> 00:39:28,084
You have the control of having less,

666
00:39:28,250 --> 00:39:31,087
And by having less, you automatically

667
00:39:31,379 --> 00:39:33,547
Use what you have better.

668
00:39:34,715 --> 00:39:37,176
 It's not much of a financial gain for me ... 

669
00:39:37,259 --> 00:39:38,260
DESIGNER SMALL HOUSES

670
00:39:38,344 --> 00:39:41,305
... it is about financial freedom, which is the ability

671
00:39:41,389 --> 00:39:45,184
 Get up in the morning and enjoy the day properly. 

672
00:39:46,644 --> 00:39:51,357
One part of why we consume one thing is that we work so long,

673
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,152
And many people do not find satisfaction in their jobs.

674
00:39:55,694 --> 00:39:58,364
 And they need somehow to say to themselves 

675
00:39:58,614 --> 00:40:00,741
 it paid off, that this is 

676
00:40:00,825 --> 00:40:04,537
 more than a few numbers in the bank account. 

677
00:40:05,329 --> 00:40:09,083
There is more. There is more to life than accounts, money and work.

678
00:40:13,170 --> 00:40:14,338
 How do you win? 

679
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,425
You win by the traditional nicknames of success.

680
00:40:17,550 --> 00:40:18,467
EX-BROKER WALL STREET

681
00:40:18,551 --> 00:40:20,928
You win by how many zeros are on your paycheck.

682
00:40:21,387 --> 00:40:24,306
 I remember sitting at Barnes and Noble's, 

683
00:40:24,390 --> 00:40:25,975
 deciding what grade to take, 

684
00:40:26,058 --> 00:40:28,269
 and all I was doing was flipping through a book.

685
00:40:28,352 --> 00:40:31,897
 It was a book that showed the career and potential income through time. 

686
00:40:32,106 --> 00:40:34,650
 That's when I focused on finance and accounting. 

687
00:40:35,484 --> 00:40:39,280
My entire life began to revolve around winning, with a capital "V".

688
00:40:39,363 --> 00:40:43,617
My whole life was based on being the guy who would be respected.

689
00:40:44,452 --> 00:40:47,079
 I've had a series of jumps since I was in my 20s, 

690
00:40:47,163 --> 00:40:48,581
 what brought me here in 2008. 

691
00:40:48,664 --> 00:40:51,041
 I was earning a very high salary of six digits. 

692
00:40:51,125 --> 00:40:52,293
 I had my office. 

693
00:40:52,751 --> 00:40:57,756
 And on December 31, 2007, my boss called me into his office, 

694
00:40:58,174 --> 00:41:00,593
 and said he would give me a promotion. 

695
00:41:00,968 --> 00:41:02,511
And that was it. That's what changed everything.

696
00:41:02,636 --> 00:41:04,513
He said I'd be a partner at the firm.

697
00:41:04,638 --> 00:41:07,808
And everything I've always worked for

698
00:41:09,727 --> 00:41:11,854
I was getting along well then.

699
00:41:11,937 --> 00:41:14,482
You know, in banking terms, I had the treasure.

700
00:41:14,565 --> 00:41:18,068
And I remember hearing that man say that,

701
00:41:18,152 --> 00:41:22,072
And it was a kind of ethereal moment

702
00:41:22,156 --> 00:41:24,116
Where I was watching it happen, you know?

703
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,702
I was almost ... I left his room,

704
00:41:26,785 --> 00:41:30,164
And went back to mine, and just shut the door

705
00:41:30,247 --> 00:41:31,874
And I began to cry,

706
00:41:32,833 --> 00:41:37,087
Because I had realized that I had totally fallen into a trap.

707
00:41:37,171 --> 00:41:40,341
And that I would never be able to turn away

708
00:41:40,508 --> 00:41:42,384
Of that amount of money.

709
00:41:42,718 --> 00:41:46,805
And any dream I had of living a purposeful life

710
00:41:46,889 --> 00:41:50,726
And meaning, and be an adventurer,

711
00:41:50,809 --> 00:41:53,854
And someone who would take risks of truth, and live a life

712
00:41:53,938 --> 00:41:56,065
Conscious, with free will, was gone.

713
00:41:58,150 --> 00:42:00,819
 When you see your pre-defined life, 

714
00:42:00,903 --> 00:42:04,823
 and recognizes that this is nothing that ... 

715
00:42:04,907 --> 00:42:06,075
 Why am I doing this? 

716
00:42:06,283 --> 00:42:08,827
 The guy who is offering me the firm does not want to be like him. 

717
00:42:08,953 --> 00:42:10,371
 I'm not jealous of his life. 

718
00:42:11,747 --> 00:42:14,333
Maybe none of this is for me to begin with.

719
00:42:14,416 --> 00:42:16,377
And maybe, if I do not leave now,

720
00:42:16,585 --> 00:42:19,755
 I'll be that guy for the rest of my life. 

721
00:42:21,298 --> 00:42:25,261
 I just took the elevator, I went down 28 floors and that was it. 

722
00:42:25,469 --> 00:42:28,222
 And since then, decided that this life would be mine 

723
00:42:28,305 --> 00:42:32,560
And it would be free and extravagantly mine.

724
00:42:32,726 --> 00:42:33,686
You know?

725
00:42:35,854 --> 00:42:37,481
Ready? Here it is.

726
00:42:37,565 --> 00:42:38,983
Nevada.

727
00:42:47,199 --> 00:42:48,325
That's it!

728
00:42:48,409 --> 00:42:50,703
We're back, Nevada!

729
00:42:52,913 --> 00:42:54,957
Yes. That was great.

730
00:42:57,001 --> 00:42:58,335
WELCOME TO Fabulous LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

731
00:42:58,419 --> 00:43:00,087
All these people are waiting,

732
00:43:00,170 --> 00:43:02,256
And I'm not sure where they should be.

733
00:43:02,339 --> 00:43:04,091
I'm thinking ... Want to take a look here?

734
00:43:04,174 --> 00:43:05,342
Of course, we can do that.

735
00:43:05,884 --> 00:43:09,013
 We are struggling to find seats for approximately 30 people. 

736
00:43:09,471 --> 00:43:13,309
 This is the most disorganized night of touring, so far. 

737
00:43:13,392 --> 00:43:15,811
We're in Las Vegas. You know.

738
00:43:16,312 --> 00:43:20,774
And the space that we rent here, you know the reason there, is not ready,

739
00:43:20,858 --> 00:43:23,152
Even though we paid rent space.

740
00:43:23,902 --> 00:43:26,030
 Fortunately, there are wonderful people here 

741
00:43:26,155 --> 00:43:27,448
 who are helping us a lot. 

742
00:43:28,532 --> 00:43:30,034
Somehow, we'll make it work.

743
00:43:30,159 --> 00:43:31,118
Yes.

744
00:43:32,786 --> 00:43:33,996
Thank you very much.

745
00:43:36,081 --> 00:43:40,586
It is funny. I used to think that being rich was making $ 50,000 a year.

746
00:43:41,795 --> 00:43:44,131
So when I started up the corporate ladder, young man,

747
00:43:44,214 --> 00:43:46,383
I quickly started earning $ 50,000.

748
00:43:47,134 --> 00:43:49,595
But I did not feel rich. Something had gone wrong.

749
00:43:49,678 --> 00:43:51,263
I needed to go back to the draft,

750
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,933
And found that it had not been corrected for inflation.

751
00:43:56,185 --> 00:43:59,188
Okay, so we can pontificate just for this time.

752
00:43:59,271 --> 00:44:01,357
We're really here to help, as Ryan said,

753
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,235
Then we would like to do what we call questions and attempts to answer.

754
00:44:05,319 --> 00:44:06,403
MORADOR DE LAS VEGAS

755
00:44:06,904 --> 00:44:09,490
You are dedicated, creative, innovative.

756
00:44:09,573 --> 00:44:12,409
You have a sincere desire for humanity,

757
00:44:13,202 --> 00:44:17,998
The same people the Wall Street wolves fear.

758
00:44:18,082 --> 00:44:20,376
And to me, you are removing yourselves from the war.

759
00:44:20,876 --> 00:44:23,003
If you're really talking about minimalism,

760
00:44:23,087 --> 00:44:26,590
The total minimalist is a hermit, a recluse, or a monk.

761
00:44:26,674 --> 00:44:28,884
And for me, that will not change the world.

762
00:44:28,967 --> 00:44:32,596
Do you understand what I say? You are the only threat to the system.

763
00:44:34,515 --> 00:44:36,558
You're right, there are two sides to the spectrum.

764
00:44:36,892 --> 00:44:40,270
I think we should rather be in the middle of it, right?

765
00:44:40,437 --> 00:44:42,731
Because I do not think there is anything wrong with consumerism.

766
00:44:43,482 --> 00:44:45,484
The problem is compulsory consumerism.

767
00:44:45,609 --> 00:44:48,195
Buy things because that's what you should do.

768
00:44:48,278 --> 00:44:49,905
That is what propaganda tells us to do.

769
00:44:49,988 --> 00:44:53,033
Or is this the magic model of happiness,

770
00:44:53,117 --> 00:44:54,701
And then, when you get it, you realize

771
00:44:54,785 --> 00:44:57,246
That does not make you as happy as you thought.

772
00:44:58,205 --> 00:45:00,124
Yes, it was a great comment, thank you very much.

773
00:45:00,207 --> 00:45:03,419
We're trying to destroy these Wall Street wolves. I'm serious.

774
00:45:03,502 --> 00:45:04,878
-Amen. Give me a hug. -Yes.

775
00:45:04,962 --> 00:45:06,046
Thank you very much.

776
00:45:06,130 --> 00:45:09,508
I tell you, your personality and your conviction,

777
00:45:09,591 --> 00:45:13,137
And answering all the questions, this charism,

778
00:45:13,220 --> 00:45:16,515
They were connecting with people, as you can see.

779
00:45:25,649 --> 00:45:27,651
It's about 4:30.

780
00:45:27,734 --> 00:45:28,735
Yes.

781
00:45:28,819 --> 00:45:32,197
And we'll be on TV.

782
00:45:37,953 --> 00:45:39,246
 Good morning, 5:23 am. 

783
00:45:39,329 --> 00:45:42,749
 Many of us want to buy the latest handsets.

784
00:45:42,833 --> 00:45:45,836
 But this morning, I'm joining two men 

785
00:45:45,919 --> 00:45:48,422
 who took what they call from a simpler path 

786
00:45:48,505 --> 00:45:51,717
 and are living a life of minimalism. 

787
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:52,801
 Hello. 

788
00:45:52,885 --> 00:45:55,929
Hello, we are here for the 5 o'clock time and for the 6 o'clock time,

789
00:45:56,013 --> 00:45:57,723
Josh and Ryan with the Minimalists.

790
00:45:59,141 --> 00:46:03,103
 I was living the American Dream and realized it was not my dream. 

791
00:46:03,187 --> 00:46:05,063
 I looked at all the things I had in life 

792
00:46:05,147 --> 00:46:07,191
 When my mother died and my marriage ended, 

793
00:46:07,274 --> 00:46:09,526
 both things in the same month then kind of questioned 

794
00:46:09,610 --> 00:46:11,028
Which really was important.

795
00:46:11,111 --> 00:46:12,988
What things really added value to life?

796
00:46:13,071 --> 00:46:14,615
And I realized that many things

797
00:46:14,698 --> 00:46:18,076
That I had bought to be happy, did not actually do this job.

798
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,662
All right, good luck to you. Take care.

799
00:46:20,746 --> 00:46:22,956
Do not exaggerate. Do not buy anything today, right?

800
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:23,999
Amen.

801
00:46:24,082 --> 00:46:26,752
Good luck with that. We'll be back in a few moments.

802
00:46:27,503 --> 00:46:29,129
Well that's. 5h30, the last ...

803
00:46:38,847 --> 00:46:41,642
 Minimalism is not a radical lifestyle. 

804
00:46:41,892 --> 00:46:47,314
Yes, I totally believe in quality instead of quantity. Right?

805
00:46:47,397 --> 00:46:50,359
I'd rather have a good sweatshirt

806
00:46:50,817 --> 00:46:55,656
Than a closet full of sweatshirts I do not like to wear.

807
00:46:55,739 --> 00:46:57,115
I do not have many clothes now,

808
00:46:57,199 --> 00:47:00,994
But all the clothes I have are my favorite clothes.

809
00:47:02,746 --> 00:47:06,291
 Let's take a look at what I selected for ten months of travel. 

810
00:47:07,584 --> 00:47:11,505
I'm wearing my only jeans, I have some jackets.

811
00:47:12,005 --> 00:47:17,594
I have a short sleeve social shirt, some T-shirts,

812
00:47:17,928 --> 00:47:19,221
A hairdryer

813
00:47:19,555 --> 00:47:22,099
Every good minimalist has a hair dryer.

814
00:47:23,183 --> 00:47:27,145
And lots of underwear. Here's a secret with briefs.

815
00:47:27,604 --> 00:47:31,525
You must have an intermediate color.

816
00:47:31,608 --> 00:47:34,987
It's how you differentiate the dirty ones

817
00:47:35,237 --> 00:47:38,407
Of the ones that are clean ... wearing the red underwear.

818
00:47:39,783 --> 00:47:40,951
Bag of hygiene products.

819
00:47:42,077 --> 00:47:44,329
Everyone needs a bag of those, of course.

820
00:47:44,454 --> 00:47:48,834
I also have a laptop, but that's all for ten months.

821
00:47:55,382 --> 00:47:59,011
We do not really have a plan, which is basically our story.

822
00:48:02,598 --> 00:48:07,394
 In 2010, when I was really getting into this cleaning process 

823
00:48:07,477 --> 00:48:09,605
And simplification, I thought about the place ...

824
00:48:09,730 --> 00:48:10,772
FOUNDER OF PROJECT 333

825
00:48:10,856 --> 00:48:14,860
... in my house that had more things, and was my closet.

826
00:48:17,029 --> 00:48:22,409
So I decided to create a minimalist fashion challenge,

827
00:48:22,576 --> 00:48:25,662
To use less than I had.

828
00:48:26,747 --> 00:48:29,833
 So in Project 333, the challenge for me 

829
00:48:29,916 --> 00:48:33,420
 was to use 33 items for three months. 

830
00:48:33,503 --> 00:48:39,051
 And the 33 items include clothing, jewelry, accessories, 

831
00:48:39,134 --> 00:48:40,552
 and shoes. 

832
00:48:41,303 --> 00:48:43,722
And that's where I lose people.

833
00:48:45,223 --> 00:48:48,894
 For me it was a great way to really see what I needed, 

834
00:48:49,144 --> 00:48:52,481
 what I was using, and whether it would make any difference. 

835
00:48:53,482 --> 00:48:55,567
 And then I worked with advertising. 

836
00:48:55,651 --> 00:48:57,778
He had many clients who needed to see daily.

837
00:48:57,861 --> 00:48:59,613
I went to sales meetings,

838
00:48:59,696 --> 00:49:03,075
And during those first three months, no one noticed.

839
00:49:03,659 --> 00:49:06,411
 The story was shown by the Associated Press, 

840
00:49:06,536 --> 00:49:08,497
 because many people were writing about it, 

841
00:49:08,580 --> 00:49:10,374
 and putting it into practice and trying. 

842
00:49:10,457 --> 00:49:14,419
In this video, I'll tell you more about how I plan my 333 Project.

843
00:49:14,503 --> 00:49:15,796
Project

844
00:49:18,382 --> 00:49:20,258
 And I thought, "Wow, that's it, 

845
00:49:21,259 --> 00:49:23,053
 and they did not even notice. 

846
00:49:23,679 --> 00:49:27,057
So I spent that year

847
00:49:27,140 --> 00:49:30,477
Until leaving the job, without anyone really knowing

848
00:49:30,644 --> 00:49:33,063
That I was using only 33 items.

849
00:49:34,690 --> 00:49:37,150
 I practice this thing called Project 333, 

850
00:49:37,234 --> 00:49:40,487
And that kind of helps me keep my organization simple.

851
00:49:40,654 --> 00:49:43,782
I changed from a giant cabinet I had,

852
00:49:44,116 --> 00:49:46,785
I do not know, I had about 100 dresses, to have now

853
00:49:46,868 --> 00:49:50,497
This tiny wardrobe and be able to share

854
00:49:50,580 --> 00:49:52,207
A closet with Logan.

855
00:49:52,290 --> 00:49:53,875
And that made a big difference,

856
00:49:53,959 --> 00:49:56,169
I just do not care

857
00:49:56,253 --> 00:49:58,714
With what I am going to wear in the morning, because all things

858
00:49:58,797 --> 00:50:02,217
In my wardrobes they are wonderful. At least I think they are.

859
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,929
 There's something about not being prepared 

860
00:50:06,012 --> 00:50:07,597
 for all moments, which actually 

861
00:50:07,681 --> 00:50:10,475
 helps you interact with your community. 

862
00:50:11,309 --> 00:50:14,312
 Being pregnant, for example, is a very limiting period. 

863
00:50:14,396 --> 00:50:16,148
I had social events to go

864
00:50:16,231 --> 00:50:18,817
And I would tell David, "Let me see if I can find a dress."

865
00:50:18,900 --> 00:50:21,695
And I thought, "Oh, my God, this is out of style."

866
00:50:21,778 --> 00:50:24,364
Two months to go. The event is next week.

867
00:50:24,448 --> 00:50:26,867
What am I going to do? So I called some of my friends.

868
00:50:26,950 --> 00:50:30,370
"Hey, do you guys have some dresses that I can borrow?"

869
00:50:30,454 --> 00:50:32,664
But in the past, I definitely

870
00:50:32,748 --> 00:50:34,750
Would buy whatever I needed,

871
00:50:34,833 --> 00:50:36,668
Because it's what you do.

872
00:50:36,752 --> 00:50:39,546
You prepare for your situation.

873
00:50:39,629 --> 00:50:42,007
The beauty of it is that it becomes very communal.

874
00:50:42,090 --> 00:50:43,508
Our friends ask us for things.

875
00:50:43,592 --> 00:50:46,845
We become close to people because of it.

876
00:50:50,182 --> 00:50:52,392
 Mark and I were married in 2005, 

877
00:50:52,476 --> 00:50:56,980
And a year later, I began to feel very bad.

878
00:50:57,063 --> 00:51:01,234
He had bouts of dizziness, tingling, and fatigue.

879
00:51:02,277 --> 00:51:04,321
 The following year was very bad, 

880
00:51:04,404 --> 00:51:07,157
And in July, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

881
00:51:07,866 --> 00:51:11,828
And at first we were terrified.

882
00:51:11,912 --> 00:51:14,372
Was difficult. It was a difficult time.

883
00:51:14,915 --> 00:51:17,876
 I say immediately, my answer was not 

884
00:51:17,959 --> 00:51:20,212
 that I had to simplify. I learn slowly. 

885
00:51:20,295 --> 00:51:25,634
So I decided that I really had to work hard to prove that I was okay.

886
00:51:25,717 --> 00:51:27,803
And then, I worked harder.

887
00:51:28,345 --> 00:51:29,596
I exercised more.

888
00:51:29,679 --> 00:51:32,557
I really forced my body during that first month

889
00:51:32,974 --> 00:51:34,893
And I felt terrible.

890
00:51:34,976 --> 00:51:38,855
In any disease or infirmity, one of the major factors,

891
00:51:38,939 --> 00:51:42,067
One of the things that contribute to these things, in a negative way

892
00:51:42,150 --> 00:51:43,777
Is the stress in your life.

893
00:51:43,860 --> 00:51:46,071
 As we get rid of these things in our lives, 

894
00:51:46,154 --> 00:51:49,491
 material things, and all the excesses with which we are accustomed, 

895
00:51:49,866 --> 00:51:51,284
 Good things happen. 

896
00:51:52,619 --> 00:51:57,165
Since then, I have not had what I would consider a relapse.

897
00:51:57,541 --> 00:52:01,962
I'm in better health than I was before I was diagnosed.

898
00:52:02,754 --> 00:52:05,131
 People always tell you, or at least they told me

899
00:52:05,215 --> 00:52:08,301
 that in the early stages of EM you need to listen to your body. 

900
00:52:08,593 --> 00:52:11,096
Listen to my body? I can not even hear my family.

901
00:52:11,179 --> 00:52:13,223
I do not know how I'm going to listen to my body.

902
00:52:13,557 --> 00:52:16,434
 And as soon as I started removing these things, 

903
00:52:16,685 --> 00:52:19,354
I was able to finally realize

904
00:52:20,021 --> 00:52:25,277
Which I had sacrificed for being constantly busy with my work.

905
00:52:37,622 --> 00:52:39,624
 We have this ability to focus, 

906
00:52:40,375 --> 00:52:44,546
But we are living in a context where we are constantly

907
00:52:44,629 --> 00:52:47,841
Moving from one stimulus to another, in search of

908
00:52:47,966 --> 00:52:51,052
 of the sensation of the dopamine, where we feel sensation of reward 

909
00:52:51,136 --> 00:52:54,055
 with the incoming email, with the next re-sent, 

910
00:52:54,139 --> 00:52:56,766
 or the next thing that comes to our phone. 

911
00:52:59,477 --> 00:53:01,938
I think it's a price we pay for it.

912
00:53:02,647 --> 00:53:04,816
 This really became a problem. 

913
00:53:04,900 --> 00:53:06,401
 There is a Nokia study that shows 

914
00:53:06,484 --> 00:53:09,779
That an average person checks the phone on average about 150 times a day.

915
00:53:17,412 --> 00:53:20,832
 You walk the streets in any metropolis ... They are focused on the devices. 

916
00:53:20,916 --> 00:53:22,626
 We're all in the Matrix. 

917
00:53:23,460 --> 00:53:26,212
And it's easier not to think and just read the news,

918
00:53:26,296 --> 00:53:29,215
Update your social media and consume.

919
00:53:30,884 --> 00:53:33,136
 Because you can do whatever you want, 

920
00:53:33,219 --> 00:53:36,222
You can potentially do anything you want.

921
00:53:36,306 --> 00:53:37,724
ENOUGH AUTHOR 

922
00:53:37,807 --> 00:53:39,476
But to do everything you want,

923
00:53:39,559 --> 00:53:42,812
 You need to sacrifice things that really matter. 

924
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,733
 When it comes to overhead, the best way to solve this is 

925
00:53:46,816 --> 00:53:48,193
Is off.

926
00:53:49,277 --> 00:53:50,862
Seriously, just hang up.

927
00:53:59,537 --> 00:54:05,877
It was shocking to realize that most of my life was an illusion.

928
00:54:08,213 --> 00:54:10,590
 I came here on ABC News when I was 28 years old.

929
00:54:10,674 --> 00:54:13,259
 I was a very ambitious young man. 

930
00:54:13,927 --> 00:54:17,681
And the way I found to make up for my insecurity

931
00:54:17,764 --> 00:54:23,478
As for me being a beginner, it was really plunging into work

932
00:54:23,561 --> 00:54:24,854
And become addicted to work.

933
00:54:25,230 --> 00:54:27,899
 And after September 11, I applied to travel 

934
00:54:27,983 --> 00:54:30,068
 to cover the conflicts. 

935
00:54:30,568 --> 00:54:31,945
 We were lucky this week 

936
00:54:32,028 --> 00:54:35,615
 to have our reporter Dan Harris on a trip organized by the Taliban. 

937
00:54:35,907 --> 00:54:38,201
 We arrived at night, a winding journey 

938
00:54:38,284 --> 00:54:42,872
 by a single bumpy road to a city under attack. 

939
00:54:42,956 --> 00:54:46,001
 I spent a lot of time in Iraq and Afghanistan 

940
00:54:46,084 --> 00:54:49,796
 without really thinking much about the psychological consequences. 

941
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,050
And when I came home from a long trip in Iraq,

942
00:54:54,134 --> 00:54:55,468
I went into depression.

943
00:54:56,177 --> 00:54:57,971
 And so, I did something really stupid,

944
00:54:58,054 --> 00:55:00,807
 which was to start self-medicating with recreational drugs. 

945
00:55:01,349 --> 00:55:03,143
According to my doctor, it was enough

946
00:55:03,226 --> 00:55:06,646
To trigger a panic attack when I was live on TV.

947
00:55:06,730 --> 00:55:09,190
Let's talk now to Dan Harris, who has the news.

948
00:55:09,274 --> 00:55:10,191
Dan?

949
00:55:10,275 --> 00:55:11,484
News on health now.

950
00:55:11,568 --> 00:55:13,278
One of the most prescribed remedies in the world

951
00:55:13,361 --> 00:55:15,196
Can provide a great bonus.

952
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,991
Research shows that users of cholesterol-lowering drugs,

953
00:55:18,074 --> 00:55:20,368
Called statins for at least five years,

954
00:55:20,452 --> 00:55:23,038
May also reduce the risk of cancer.

955
00:55:23,121 --> 00:55:27,042
But it is still too early to prescribe statins to fight cancer.

956
00:55:27,792 --> 00:55:30,795
This is the news. We'll be back with Robin and Charlie.

957
00:55:34,507 --> 00:55:37,552
 Raised the level of adrenaline in my brain which, according to my doctor,

958
00:55:37,635 --> 00:55:40,096
 made me lose my mind on Good Morning America 

959
00:55:40,180 --> 00:55:41,681
 in front of five million people. 

960
00:55:43,016 --> 00:55:46,269
5.09 million people, according to Nielsen.

961
00:55:46,936 --> 00:55:50,774
 That moment threw me on a strange road 

962
00:55:50,857 --> 00:55:53,777
Which in the end led me to this thing that I never thought

963
00:55:53,860 --> 00:55:56,780
That it was useful to someone, which was meditation.

964
00:56:05,330 --> 00:56:07,749
 We ruminate on the past and future 

965
00:56:07,916 --> 00:56:11,795
In a way that prevents us from actually connecting

966
00:56:11,878 --> 00:56:16,466
With the present moment, in a way that values ​​it as being good enough.

967
00:56:17,884 --> 00:56:22,764
 Meditation is a technique to find wellness 

968
00:56:22,847 --> 00:56:26,768
 in the present moment, before anything happens. 

969
00:56:30,522 --> 00:56:34,734
 You can be happy and satisfied simply by being aware 

970
00:56:34,818 --> 00:56:36,945
 the sensation of breathing. 

971
00:56:41,241 --> 00:56:45,245
 Very rarely are we totally dedicated to one thing. 

972
00:56:45,328 --> 00:56:47,330
 We are interrupting ourselves, or allowing ourselves

973
00:56:47,413 --> 00:56:50,083
Be interrupted by a series of information

974
00:56:50,166 --> 00:56:53,253
And what would, in any other context,

975
00:56:53,336 --> 00:56:54,712
Considered as distractions,

976
00:56:54,796 --> 00:56:58,174
Today we think of them as necessary parts

977
00:56:58,258 --> 00:56:59,467
Of our daily lives.

978
00:57:01,010 --> 00:57:03,555
 If I leave my phone in my pocket and it is in vibration mode, 

979
00:57:04,055 --> 00:57:06,349
Unconsciously, I'll move when it vibrates.

980
00:57:06,432 --> 00:57:10,437
And I even move when it did not vibrate but I thought it vibrated.

981
00:57:10,979 --> 00:57:13,064
And that ruins a conversation.

982
00:57:13,148 --> 00:57:16,568
Like, those nanoseconds of distraction,

983
00:57:16,901 --> 00:57:19,571
 I think they have a very damaging effect. 

984
00:57:20,488 --> 00:57:24,033
 Everywhere I look, are small constant movements. 

985
00:57:26,744 --> 00:57:29,205
This anticipation of novelty

986
00:57:29,289 --> 00:57:32,459
 has the effect of turning us into laboratory mice

987
00:57:32,542 --> 00:57:34,419
 that simply are pressed. 

988
00:57:35,545 --> 00:57:39,382
 Meditation is a great antidote to this. 

989
00:57:42,093 --> 00:57:44,345
 The people here on ABC News asked me 

990
00:57:44,429 --> 00:57:45,680
 "Why are you meditating?" 

991
00:57:46,097 --> 00:57:48,141
 In other words: "What's wrong with you?" 

992
00:57:48,224 --> 00:57:49,642
 What happened to you? 

993
00:57:50,101 --> 00:57:51,769
After a while, I began to respond:

994
00:57:51,853 --> 00:57:53,897
"It's because it makes me ten percent happier."

995
00:57:53,980 --> 00:57:58,318
And I could see the expression on their faces change, from contempt

996
00:57:58,401 --> 00:58:02,155
And skepticism for one of interest, "That sounds reasonable."

997
00:58:02,238 --> 00:58:03,323
"I would like this."

998
00:58:04,824 --> 00:58:07,410
 One of the best advice I've ever had 

999
00:58:07,494 --> 00:58:10,038
 in all my life was that of a teacher of meditation 

1000
00:58:10,121 --> 00:58:11,456
 named Joseph Goldstein. 

1001
00:58:12,165 --> 00:58:14,876
 I was asking him about the utility of concern. 

1002
00:58:14,959 --> 00:58:16,920
 In a specific context, I was asking 

1003
00:58:17,003 --> 00:58:19,797
 It made sense to worry about missing a flight. 

1004
00:58:19,881 --> 00:58:21,424
 And I was arguing about it: 

1005
00:58:21,508 --> 00:58:24,802
 "Look, you Buddhists are always saying what thoughts are just thoughts. 

1006
00:58:24,886 --> 00:58:27,305
That they do not necessarily have connection with reality,

1007
00:58:27,388 --> 00:58:31,100
But the fact is that if I miss the flight, I'll be screwed. "

1008
00:58:31,476 --> 00:58:34,521
And he said, "You are unquestionably right,

1009
00:58:34,646 --> 00:58:38,149
But there is a certain amount of concern that makes sense

1010
00:58:38,233 --> 00:58:39,984
And a certain dose that does not.

1011
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,905
 Then, on the seventeenth time worrying about missing the flight 

1012
00:58:43,988 --> 00:58:46,533
 and think of all possible branches of it, 

1013
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,077
 Ask yourself a simple question: 

1014
00:58:49,369 --> 00:58:50,495
 'Is this concern useful?' "

1015
00:58:51,579 --> 00:58:54,832
For a guy who spent his whole life worrying and thinking

1016
00:58:54,916 --> 00:58:58,795
That my concern was the advantage I had,

1017
00:58:58,878 --> 00:59:02,715
Because I knew that I would be more anxious and compulsive

1018
00:59:02,799 --> 00:59:04,175
That my competitors,

1019
00:59:04,259 --> 00:59:07,262
I realized that there is a certain amount of concern

1020
00:59:07,345 --> 00:59:10,181
Which is what I call constructive anguish,

1021
00:59:10,348 --> 00:59:13,810
And there's useless rumination that just makes you miserable.

1022
00:59:14,727 --> 00:59:18,398
 It's not that I'm watching all the time. 

1023
00:59:18,481 --> 00:59:21,943
You know, I still do a lot of stupid things,

1024
00:59:22,193 --> 00:59:24,279
And if my wife was here, she would tell you

1025
00:59:24,362 --> 00:59:26,281
That 90 percent is still stupid.

1026
00:59:26,531 --> 00:59:30,410
There is simply no doubt that I am an idiot in many respects,

1027
00:59:30,493 --> 00:59:32,954
 But I'm less stupid and less stupid, 

1028
00:59:33,079 --> 00:59:36,082
 and full of ideas, more focused and calmer. 

1029
00:59:45,008 --> 00:59:46,884
 We are on the road all year, 

1030
00:59:47,051 --> 00:59:51,889
 And just when I start thinking if we can, 

1031
00:59:52,015 --> 00:59:57,478
If we make a difference, Today Show calls us

1032
00:59:57,937 --> 00:59:59,731
And invites us to go on the air.

1033
01:00:00,732 --> 01:00:02,025
 Now we have an opportunity 

1034
01:00:02,108 --> 01:00:06,946
 share this with millions of people, which is the maximum. 

1035
01:00:07,363 --> 01:00:10,283
Dude, we're late, so we have to go.

1036
01:00:10,658 --> 01:00:12,076
The entrance is ...

1037
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,120
What is the address? Is it 35?

1038
01:00:14,203 --> 01:00:16,748
Yes, but you'll see things from the Today Show armed.

1039
01:00:16,831 --> 01:00:18,124
Right there, there it is.

1040
01:00:19,208 --> 01:00:22,712
-Are you sure it's here? "Yes, down the stairs."

1041
01:00:22,795 --> 01:00:23,921
We're in this together.

1042
01:00:28,635 --> 01:00:31,095
 From NBC News, 

1043
01:00:32,055 --> 01:00:33,848
 this is Today. 

1044
01:00:35,391 --> 01:00:37,393
With Black Friday, Cyber ​​Monday,

1045
01:00:37,477 --> 01:00:39,604
Christmas shopping and stuffed stocks,

1046
01:00:39,687 --> 01:00:41,230
It may seem that the holidays

1047
01:00:41,314 --> 01:00:43,983
Are more about more and less about what really matters.

1048
01:00:44,067 --> 01:00:46,986
Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus

1049
01:00:47,070 --> 01:00:48,780
 see things differently. 

1050
01:00:48,863 --> 01:00:51,783
 They are what they call ... The Minimalists. 

1051
01:00:52,075 --> 01:00:53,534
In a hypothetical world,

1052
01:00:53,868 --> 01:00:58,456
What if one of you falls in love with a maximalist who likes things?

1053
01:00:58,665 --> 01:00:59,707
What would you do?

1054
01:00:59,791 --> 01:01:02,043
That is an excellent question. My girlfriend,

1055
01:01:02,126 --> 01:01:03,920
I do not think she would consider herself minimalist.

1056
01:01:04,003 --> 01:01:05,963
She has about 20 pairs of shoes.

1057
01:01:06,047 --> 01:01:07,048
Not bad.

1058
01:01:07,131 --> 01:01:09,759
It's nothing compared to what I have. Hello?

1059
01:01:09,842 --> 01:01:13,721
But what I will say is that she and I have very similar values ​​and beliefs.

1060
01:01:14,138 --> 01:01:15,932
We respect each other. We love.

1061
01:01:16,015 --> 01:01:17,767
"We love each other." -Great lifestyle,

1062
01:01:17,850 --> 01:01:19,519
Is a great subject for Today.

1063
01:01:19,602 --> 01:01:22,021
-Nice to meet them. -The last book of Minimalists,

1064
01:01:22,105 --> 01:01:24,440
 All That Remains,is in stores.

1065
01:01:24,524 --> 01:01:25,900
 What a concept. 

1066
01:01:30,822 --> 01:01:32,615
 Last night's event was incredible. 

1067
01:01:32,699 --> 01:01:35,743
 We showed up, the shop owner had placed 30 chairs outside.

1068
01:01:35,827 --> 01:01:37,537
 I asked him to add more chairs. 

1069
01:01:37,620 --> 01:01:40,623
 And he said, "Are you sure that you will need more chairs?" 

1070
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:44,293
Ken Burns came here and filled all the seats.

1071
01:01:44,377 --> 01:01:45,753
I put 60 chairs in all.

1072
01:01:45,837 --> 01:01:48,423
And I said, "I think we'll have about 50 or 60 people."

1073
01:01:48,548 --> 01:01:50,299
Go ahead and bring the rest of the chairs.

1074
01:01:50,550 --> 01:01:53,970
And we ended up having about 120, 150 people.

1075
01:01:54,053 --> 01:01:58,224
 People were squeezed between the shelves. 

1076
01:01:58,641 --> 01:02:00,560
Thanks for coming to support us, man.

1077
01:02:00,643 --> 01:02:02,228
Thank you for everything you do.

1078
01:02:02,311 --> 01:02:04,897
I think your story came on time.

1079
01:02:05,398 --> 01:02:06,399
It's destiny.

1080
01:02:06,482 --> 01:02:08,109
You are my inspiration.

1081
01:02:08,317 --> 01:02:10,778
Wonderful, thank you so much for this. I'm happy to help.

1082
01:02:10,862 --> 01:02:12,196
Thanks for coming, brother.

1083
01:02:12,697 --> 01:02:15,074
 We see more, more and more people coming, 

1084
01:02:15,158 --> 01:02:17,869
It's great to see this message spreading.

1085
01:02:18,786 --> 01:02:21,789
 We are on our way to Los Angeles. 

1086
01:02:22,248 --> 01:02:24,167
It will be our biggest event so far.

1087
01:02:24,250 --> 01:02:27,295
 We expect the largest audience, and really think 

1088
01:02:27,378 --> 01:02:30,298
 that Los Angeles is a city that really can take advantage of this message. 

1089
01:03:14,175 --> 01:03:18,763
 Cars, houses and salaries of six digits. It may sound like a dream life. 

1090
01:03:18,846 --> 01:03:21,891
 Joshua Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus are on a world tour 

1091
01:03:22,183 --> 01:03:26,395
And are here to explain why anyone would give up these things.

1092
01:03:27,104 --> 01:03:29,148
 Opening a hand was really very difficult. 

1093
01:03:29,232 --> 01:03:31,651
 I'd like to say that it was as easy as renting a truck 

1094
01:03:31,734 --> 01:03:34,153
 and throw away all my stuff, but it was a process. 

1095
01:04:00,555 --> 01:04:05,852
I like to see how it's spreading like a fire, in a good way.

1096
01:04:05,935 --> 01:04:07,395
It's like a good disease.

1097
01:04:15,444 --> 01:04:16,946
An amazing study

1098
01:04:17,029 --> 01:04:20,032
Shows that a large number of children under the age of four

1099
01:04:20,116 --> 01:04:23,077
 have access to a mobile device, and some of these children 

1100
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,372
 started using them before they were one year old. 

1101
01:04:26,831 --> 01:04:28,249
 We are building an environment 

1102
01:04:28,332 --> 01:04:30,501
 more interesting and more competitive for the consumer. 

1103
01:04:30,585 --> 01:04:34,130
 That means adjusting the signals that tell us about your interests, 

1104
01:04:34,213 --> 01:04:37,049
 and making sure we can control the message they will receive. 

1105
01:04:37,425 --> 01:04:38,843
 The Toronto Marketing Executive 

1106
01:04:38,926 --> 01:04:40,636
 wrote a review in Globe and Mail 

1107
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,180
Saying it's time to stop advertising children.

1108
01:04:44,015 --> 01:04:47,476
 Advertising for children has been around for a long time. 

1109
01:04:47,852 --> 01:04:52,106
What has changed, however, is the amount of this advertisement and the vehicle

1110
01:04:52,189 --> 01:04:54,442
 where these advertisements come from. 

1111
01:04:55,651 --> 01:04:57,486
 Historically, companies 

1112
01:04:57,570 --> 01:05:00,656
 who have products aimed at children focused on advertising in mothers,

1113
01:05:00,740 --> 01:05:03,618
In making mothers wish to buy things for their children.

1114
01:05:04,285 --> 01:05:08,456
 What happens is that companies have decided to take the focus away from mothers 

1115
01:05:08,789 --> 01:05:10,416
 and focus directly on children. 

1116
01:05:12,627 --> 01:05:15,838
 I do not know the three most common words in American households. 

1117
01:05:16,047 --> 01:05:19,383
I do not know if it's "I love you" or "I want it".

1118
01:05:20,301 --> 01:05:23,137
 Five thousand ads that we see every day, 

1119
01:05:23,220 --> 01:05:25,348
 Since we were born. 

1120
01:05:25,806 --> 01:05:28,809
And they all tell us, "Hey, this is how your life should be."

1121
01:05:28,976 --> 01:05:31,312
It should be based on accumulating more things

1122
01:05:31,395 --> 01:05:33,981
Or about focusing on yourself.

1123
01:05:35,483 --> 01:05:39,111
If you have recently gone to a children's store,

1124
01:05:39,528 --> 01:05:41,572
Is quite incredible.

1125
01:05:41,656 --> 01:05:45,409
 All you could dream about was thought. 

1126
01:05:46,494 --> 01:05:48,746
The advertisers realized that there is this big market.

1127
01:05:48,829 --> 01:05:50,164
AUTHOR OFMINIMALIST PARENTING 

1128
01:05:50,247 --> 01:05:52,917
There are parents who want to give their children the best,

1129
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:56,003
 and really work hard at it. 

1130
01:05:56,712 --> 01:06:00,675
IN 1983, COMPANIES SPENT 100,000,000 DOLLARS IN ADVERTISING FOR CHILDREN

1131
01:06:00,758 --> 01:06:04,845
IN 2006, THE COMPANIES SPENTED 17,000,000,000 DOLLARS

1132
01:06:04,929 --> 01:06:08,766
There is a problem, both process and content,

1133
01:06:08,891 --> 01:06:11,185
And the content problem is huge.

1134
01:06:11,811 --> 01:06:16,190
 The products that are advertised for children are junk. 

1135
01:06:16,399 --> 01:06:18,317
 Welcome to Mutant Mania Fight. 

1136
01:06:18,401 --> 01:06:20,695
 One hundred and twenty new characters for you to collect. 

1137
01:06:20,778 --> 01:06:22,530
 The secret is your flexible column! 

1138
01:06:23,155 --> 01:06:26,701
 It's a garbage culture. It's the food that hurts them. 

1139
01:06:26,784 --> 01:06:30,997
 They are stupid toys, that are gender and violent. 

1140
01:06:32,707 --> 01:06:36,502
I do not see a justification for subjecting children to this,

1141
01:06:36,752 --> 01:06:39,755
There is no positive social benefit in this.

1142
01:06:40,464 --> 01:06:42,258
 There is simply a negativity, 

1143
01:06:42,341 --> 01:06:44,760
 and is the political power of advertising 

1144
01:06:44,844 --> 01:06:47,722
 and the companies that produce the advertisements, which prevents us

1145
01:06:47,805 --> 01:06:49,265
 to do something about it. 

1146
01:06:55,521 --> 01:06:58,607
 I heard someone say, "There is a another word for minimalism, 

1147
01:06:58,691 --> 01:06:59,984
 it's called: be single. 

1148
01:07:00,860 --> 01:07:02,903
Yes, I understand how people think

1149
01:07:02,987 --> 01:07:06,532
Which is very easy if you are not married and do not have children.

1150
01:07:07,408 --> 01:07:11,662
How do I explain my own example of being married?

1151
01:07:11,746 --> 01:07:15,458
And have six children, which is totally anti-minimalist and very ironic?

1152
01:07:16,417 --> 01:07:21,213
 How do I have this minimalist lifestyle with these kids and restrictions? 

1153
01:07:22,757 --> 01:07:27,053
 Jaqueline and I are not so restrictive about, type: 

1154
01:07:27,136 --> 01:07:28,846
 "You have five toys." 

1155
01:07:29,263 --> 01:07:32,099
No, man. You can only have one truck. You can not have three trucks. "

1156
01:07:32,183 --> 01:07:35,269
When I was a kid, I did not have a GI Joe.

1157
01:07:35,352 --> 01:07:37,480
 I had about 100 GI Joes. 

1158
01:07:38,314 --> 01:07:41,650
We have received things well in our lives, but certainly with the intention

1159
01:07:41,734 --> 01:07:47,740
To think about what we are doing instead of simply consuming.

1160
01:07:48,491 --> 01:07:51,118
 When you live with other people 

1161
01:07:51,202 --> 01:07:55,039
 and it's a family, you can not just make unilateral decisions. 

1162
01:07:55,164 --> 01:07:58,167
"Okay, now let's get rid of everything and toss the TV out of the house."

1163
01:07:58,501 --> 01:08:00,086
There will be a mutiny.

1164
01:08:01,754 --> 01:08:05,049
 This is a bit frustrating, because you can not do it your way. 

1165
01:08:05,508 --> 01:08:08,052
 But it is also a very interesting experiment 

1166
01:08:08,135 --> 01:08:10,888
How you can progress as a group

1167
01:08:10,971 --> 01:08:12,848
And learn about it as a group.

1168
01:08:20,940 --> 01:08:24,276
 Early on, when we decided to live with less, 

1169
01:08:25,027 --> 01:08:28,239
We knew beforehand that minimalism would simply

1170
01:08:28,322 --> 01:08:31,742
Be the way we wanted it to be.

1171
01:08:32,952 --> 01:08:35,121
 I remember going through the process of getting rid of things 

1172
01:08:35,204 --> 01:08:38,457
 and finally say, "Okay, Sam." Let's go to your toys 

1173
01:08:38,541 --> 01:08:41,085
 and we'll get rid of things that you no longer need. 

1174
01:08:41,168 --> 01:08:44,421
 And we did not have any problems. 

1175
01:08:46,090 --> 01:08:50,928
My daughter is seven and she is very different.

1176
01:08:52,179 --> 01:08:55,349
 She loves every doll she has. 

1177
01:08:55,891 --> 01:09:00,437
It collects stones, branches and a lot of things

1178
01:09:00,521 --> 01:09:03,691
That she finds, and clings to them.

1179
01:09:05,067 --> 01:09:07,361
 You know, as parents, we need to set some limits, 

1180
01:09:07,444 --> 01:09:10,114
 but in the end, we let her choose what she wants. 

1181
01:09:11,782 --> 01:09:14,243
 I think he certainly is 

1182
01:09:14,326 --> 01:09:15,953
On a different level ...

1183
01:09:16,078 --> 01:09:17,163
CO-FOUNDER THE HOPE EFFECT

1184
01:09:17,246 --> 01:09:18,539
... of minimalism than me.

1185
01:09:19,206 --> 01:09:21,876
 He wanted to get rid of more things than I wanted to get rid of, 

1186
01:09:21,959 --> 01:09:24,086
 and then comes the appointment. 

1187
01:09:26,172 --> 01:09:31,343
His side of the wardrobe looks a lot smaller than mine.

1188
01:09:31,427 --> 01:09:33,387
And we deal well with it.

1189
01:09:34,305 --> 01:09:35,764
You know, I think one of the lessons

1190
01:09:35,848 --> 01:09:38,434
That we learned on this whole journey

1191
01:09:38,517 --> 01:09:41,562
 Our children are watching us. 

1192
01:09:42,146 --> 01:09:45,482
 And we can tell them how we want them to be like people, 

1193
01:09:45,566 --> 01:09:48,194
But, man, they absorb much more simply

1194
01:09:48,277 --> 01:09:50,571
Observing the way we live.

1195
01:09:52,740 --> 01:09:54,950
 This is the countercurrent of consumerism. 

1196
01:09:55,034 --> 01:09:59,413
Removing a little of those things provided a safe environment

1197
01:09:59,496 --> 01:10:02,208
Where they are able to become what they most want,

1198
01:10:02,291 --> 01:10:04,877
 instead of what the world will try to convince them to be. 

1199
01:10:09,048 --> 01:10:10,132
good Evening

1200
01:10:10,966 --> 01:10:15,012
It is clear that the real problem of our nation

1201
01:10:15,804 --> 01:10:20,226
Is much deeper than gasoline lines

1202
01:10:20,309 --> 01:10:24,355
Or lack of energy, deeper still than inflation and recession.

1203
01:10:25,981 --> 01:10:29,318
 In a nation that prided itself on hard work, 

1204
01:10:30,653 --> 01:10:34,365
 strong families, united communities, 

1205
01:10:36,033 --> 01:10:40,788
 many of us now tend to revere comfort 

1206
01:10:42,122 --> 01:10:43,415
 and consumerism. 

1207
01:10:45,751 --> 01:10:51,757
 The identity of a person is no longer defined by what it does, 

1208
01:10:53,634 --> 01:10:56,011
 but for what it has. 

1209
01:10:59,765 --> 01:11:05,229
But we find that owning things and consuming things

1210
01:11:06,230 --> 01:11:10,693
It does not satisfy our desire for purpose.

1211
01:11:12,152 --> 01:11:16,740
 We learned that accumulating material goods is not able to fill 

1212
01:11:16,824 --> 01:11:21,370
 the emptiness of lives devoid of faith or purpose. 

1213
01:11:23,998 --> 01:11:28,252
This is not a message of happiness or reaffirmation,

1214
01:11:28,919 --> 01:11:33,257
But it's the truth, and it's a warning.

1215
01:11:37,803 --> 01:11:39,471
 We think we need these things, 

1216
01:11:39,555 --> 01:11:42,057
 because we were told that we need these things. 

1217
01:11:43,267 --> 01:11:47,062
 Society has told us that we need these things. 

1218
01:11:50,858 --> 01:11:55,195
It has been so slowly, a small thing, that has just arrived

1219
01:11:55,279 --> 01:11:57,573
And suddenly it becomes what you do.

1220
01:12:00,367 --> 01:12:04,455
 This is really of an ideal based on values. 

1221
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:08,334
 You want to get the most benefit 

1222
01:12:08,417 --> 01:12:12,004
 and get the maximum value with exactly what you need. 

1223
01:12:14,882 --> 01:12:16,759
Having too little will not give you this,

1224
01:12:16,842 --> 01:12:19,428
And having too much will not give you that either, right?

1225
01:12:21,972 --> 01:12:26,769
Having the balance, having enough, that's what you are looking for.

1226
01:12:32,608 --> 01:12:34,943
 If I had to review the American Dream, 

1227
01:12:35,235 --> 01:12:39,490
 it would be more about how to unite in community. 

1228
01:12:40,532 --> 01:12:43,410
 It would be more about a society 

1229
01:12:43,494 --> 01:12:45,913
Where there would be less inequality and more justice,

1230
01:12:45,996 --> 01:12:47,956
In which everyone had a chance,

1231
01:12:49,333 --> 01:12:53,420
 and was responsible for the planet and the environment. 

1232
01:12:53,962 --> 01:12:56,006
For me, that would be an American Dream.

1233
01:12:58,759 --> 01:13:00,844
 When you talk about not consuming, 

1234
01:13:00,928 --> 01:13:03,847
 people think you are trying to get something out of them. 

1235
01:13:06,308 --> 01:13:07,810
 But the great truth is that 

1236
01:13:07,893 --> 01:13:10,104
I think this movement is about

1237
01:13:10,187 --> 01:13:12,481
To seek a life that is good for ourselves

1238
01:13:12,564 --> 01:13:14,191
And good for the people around us.

1239
01:13:27,162 --> 01:13:28,622
 We are in Los Angeles now. 

1240
01:13:29,748 --> 01:13:33,043
 We are here for our biggest event. 

1241
01:13:33,710 --> 01:13:35,879
What we're trying to do is show people

1242
01:13:35,963 --> 01:13:41,051
That there is a different way of living.

1243
01:13:43,512 --> 01:13:45,222
 The people we bring into our lives, 

1244
01:13:45,305 --> 01:13:46,974
 we should always be with those 

1245
01:13:47,057 --> 01:13:50,144
 that share the same values ​​and that's what minimalism is all about. 

1246
01:13:50,227 --> 01:13:51,812
 It's about living with purpose. 

1247
01:13:52,563 --> 01:13:55,482
So every choice I make, every relationship, every thing,

1248
01:13:55,566 --> 01:13:57,943
Every dollar I spend, I'm not perfect, of course,

1249
01:13:58,026 --> 01:14:00,779
 but I constantly wonder: "Is this adding value to me?" 

1250
01:14:00,863 --> 01:14:02,865
 Am I being logical with this decision? 

1251
01:14:03,490 --> 01:14:04,491
 Go watch them tonight 

1252
01:14:04,575 --> 01:14:06,076
 at The Last Bookstore in LA, 7 pm 

1253
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:07,911
 Thanks, Joshua and Ryan for coming. 

1254
01:14:07,995 --> 01:14:09,288
SPRING ARTISTS SET

1255
01:14:10,873 --> 01:14:13,459
 I did not realize that at the time, 

1256
01:14:13,542 --> 01:14:18,505
 but I was very focused on my ideal of success. 

1257
01:14:19,465 --> 01:14:23,969
My idea of ​​success was to make more money.

1258
01:14:24,970 --> 01:14:27,431
 Consumer relationships were a priority. 

1259
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,226
 I did not pay any attention to the people closest to me, 

1260
01:14:33,145 --> 01:14:35,564
Including my mother.

1261
01:14:37,065 --> 01:14:40,861
 The great meaning of this message, the great reason we share it, 

1262
01:14:40,944 --> 01:14:45,991
 is to help people overcome this appetite for more things, 

1263
01:14:46,283 --> 01:14:49,912
 because it is a very destructive path to follow. 

1264
01:14:50,496 --> 01:14:54,708
I literally used people to sell cell phones.

1265
01:14:54,791 --> 01:14:59,087
 I used people to get bigger and better customers. 

1266
01:14:59,671 --> 01:15:03,592
 And what I love in my life right now is that I can be genuine. 

1267
01:15:04,134 --> 01:15:06,053
 And that there is no manipulation. 

1268
01:15:07,179 --> 01:15:08,889
 It's a great, great pleasure 

1269
01:15:08,972 --> 01:15:13,977
 Present Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, the Minimalists. 

1270
01:15:22,319 --> 01:15:26,031
 Imagine a life with less, a life of passion, 

1271
01:15:26,114 --> 01:15:29,952
Free from the traps of the chaotic world around them.

1272
01:15:31,119 --> 01:15:35,624
 Well, what you are imagining is a conscious life. 

1273
01:15:36,458 --> 01:15:42,005
 It is not a perfect life, it is not even an easy life, but it is a simpler one. 

1274
01:15:43,799 --> 01:15:45,217
 What I discovered with minimalism 

1275
01:15:45,342 --> 01:15:48,178
Is that it's a way of saying, "Let's stop the madness."

1276
01:15:49,137 --> 01:15:52,099
 You do not need these things. Type, will not solve. 

1277
01:15:52,474 --> 01:15:53,725
That is not the answer.

1278
01:15:54,184 --> 01:15:55,686
 There is a growing movement, 

1279
01:15:55,894 --> 01:15:59,106
And I do not think it will stop.

1280
01:15:59,523 --> 01:16:01,191
 Now I'm surrounded by people 

1281
01:16:01,275 --> 01:16:04,695
 who are inspired and creating a great impact and social change. 

1282
01:16:04,903 --> 01:16:07,239
The depth of my relationship

1283
01:16:07,322 --> 01:16:10,242
Is beyond anything I could ever imagine.

1284
01:16:10,325 --> 01:16:13,370
 When you realize that this life is yours, 

1285
01:16:13,453 --> 01:16:16,331
And that is his only, and when it stops

1286
01:16:16,456 --> 01:16:21,712
Of being esoteric nonsense, when it is not more hippie romanticism,

1287
01:16:21,795 --> 01:16:23,547
 when the pragmatism of this truth 

1288
01:16:23,630 --> 01:16:27,467
 goes right into your bones, and you realize that's it, 

1289
01:16:28,427 --> 01:16:30,220
 everything changes. 

1290
01:16:30,929 --> 01:16:33,599
 I do not know where you are on your journey, 

1291
01:16:33,682 --> 01:16:37,311
 Where you are in your life, or where you are going on this journey, 

1292
01:16:37,394 --> 01:16:40,022
But we are very grateful to be here with us tonight.

1293
01:16:40,147 --> 01:16:42,357
So if I could give one last statement,

1294
01:16:43,150 --> 01:16:46,737
 one thing to take with you after all, this would be: 

1295
01:16:47,904 --> 01:16:53,744
 Love people and use things, because the opposite never works. 

1296
01:16:54,244 --> 01:16:55,996
 Thank you so much for coming.
