Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that my new book, Things That Matter, is finally here. I put my heart into it, and I can’t wait to share it with you. You can pick up a copy at www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/676394/things-that-matter-by-joshua-becker/

I’ve been reading your new book, of course I knew I would like it! I have been following your ways for a few years now! I am so Happy I found your channel! I have been removing a lot of things I have been hanging on for so long because I had a hard time letting go. The more I let go of things the more I want to keep on going. The most important things I have let go are toxic relationships! Lots of clothing giving to programs to allow others to use what I no longer need, most things are gently used!

As I age, I let go of many more stored possessions. I'm in my 70s and probably am not going to need skis or heavy power saws henceforth! I have found younger folks who will help me clean out my storage buildings and are delighted to take these things off my hands for personal use or to add to their flea marketing sales. I don't recall ever regretting giving these things away or needing them afterwards.

4:07 - I was hyperinsulinemic, and EVERY doctor and nutritionist wanted to ADD medicines and this food and that food. Pro tip: I subtracted FOOD! I used to always eat a pretty good portion of meat, and I would then eat "all day long" and eat cookies and drink a 500 ml Mexican Coke (I mention the country because the Cokes from country to country have different formulae), &c. So, along with subtracting refined carbs and sugar, I subtracted TWO meals per day, and some days I subtract a day or two from my week of eating. This subtraction then subtracted my insulin levels and blood glucose. In a mere three months of "sticking to it"; I have reversed my Type 2 diabetes, lost 11 kgs, and sleep apnea. I feel kind of bad because I did ADD more sleep to my life, but that's a good thing! Thanks Joshua ... partly your videos of minimalist forced me to see that even food could be minimalised as well. God bless the Becker family forever!

In the 1990's I took a class from some really smart Russian scientists on problem solving. In their system the first step was called "trimming". Can this problem part or issue be eliminated all together was their question. I've used this step in 100's of meetings working in a manufacturing business. Some of the best advice I had in my life, including my personal life. Add to that advise is to solve the root cause of problems rather than treating symptoms and you can improve almost any bad situation.

Algebra comes from the Arabic word "جبارة" or "jabara" ... "al jabr", which means "to consolidate". So even in the 9th century, a mathematician in Bagdad was finding a way to simplify elaborate squared functions like solving triangles, &c. The idea of turning tirangles into 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 gave rise to sundials and eventually our clocks, which are nothing more than a "timing device" and gears (circular levers). Simple, simple, simple!

This was great to hear. I think societal peer pressure pushes us to always be comparing our lives to others, which in turn leads to the "additions" constantly. It's eye opening to look at subtraction as a way to find the peace and gratitude in your life, which is what you are really seeking when you constantly need to add things to your life.

I needed to hear this. Hopefully, I can apply these principles. The clutter makes me feel overwhelmed at times, yet I continue to buy items that I don’t even remember I’ve purchased. 🤷🏼♀️ The joy of ‘the find’ is always short lived. I admire the simplicity of a minimalist lifestyle. Just so far from making this my reality.
@lindabourcet1349

As you are decluttering you will find that the joy of removing items is as real and more long-lasting than the joy of the find. It is like the joy of having a fit and healthy body rather than that overstuffed feeling when eating more than you should.
