I accidentally ate my cat

I had to read one of their books for my English class, and it was incredibly repetitive, like I get it, you don’t like having stuff

It was so minimal it was zero.

Maybe try ✨Buddhism✨

Ok I'm not trying to brag or look upity here but is anyone else not concerned over material goods like at all? I mean I definitely don't want to be stressed over necessities but if that's covered I don't want anything else other than maybe 2 sugary drinks (like boba tea) a month. Like I don't want clothes or decor or furniture or to eat out or anything rlly. And if something starts to break, like my computer or phone or shoes, I wait till they're completely 100% unusable. (Again, not bragging, this legit doesn't matter and I can't imagine why someone would care if others cared about materials, like that doesn't make sense to me. Just wondering if others have the same relationship w material items too).

Not them trashing ikea, when I know damn well where they bought those dim lights

The bearded guy looks like a long-haired Metroman.

Damn, I always fill my voids with drugs, sex, and Club Penguin

Their book looks soo interesting and I would love to buy it! But that would be another possession and I don't need more of those in my life

have you been working out Drew? Looking good!! :)

Why would you get rid of pants, doing laundry every isn’t fun.

Guy should get minimal with that forehead he's sporting.

totally the cadence of an evangelical youth pastor

These people ruined the ideology/philosophy of Minimalism...

I myself am a minimalist, and I just want to let you all know that these two guys are right in the sense that we have a consumerism problem, and minimalism does help a little just like vegans does its part to help animals. But their cult-like approach is off putting. Research minimalism outside of these guys, and if you dig it then cool, if not then oh well. I use minimalism as a way to help ME, and it's definitely not for everyone. I never liked owning a lot of things, so it was a natural step for me to give up what I felt was junk. But that's what I was comfortable with. I also think minimalism is a broad spectrum. There's people who don't use furniture. There's others who have plenty of furniture but it is all used and serves a purpose. I have little to no things in my apartment, but I have wall shelves with pictures of my girlfriend and pets because minimalism to me isn't the elimination of things, but giving space to the things you value most. First and foremost the "minimalist" journey is for the benefit of you. If you want to make a change go for it, but if you want 5 closets stuffed with clothes and 8 throw blankets on your 3 couches then go for it. :)

I hate that one guys hair. The skinny one with that pompadour.

Micheal reeves been drugged out pf his mind explaining the hedonic treadmill has more sense than whatever they say.

Basically, two rich guys, who chose to be minimalists, tell people, that you feel happy with less stuff. Tell that someone, who is really poor. Ah, and by the way, rich people are more happy overall, there are studies proving that.

"Action Items" is a common business term. I had no idea you were such a businessperson.

It's matt and ryan from supermega

Your 'sponsored' segments have got to be the longest on youtube. "Oh he's talking about his sponsor, but should I stick around? I mean we're only 3/4ths into the runtime - surely there's more video after he's done talking about the sponsor...right?" Nope

I love your shirt

They’re so minimalist the only subjects of their videos are white American southerners 🤔

SIGH-Another day, another scam in 🇺🇸!!!

Money isn't important, it doesn't make you happy. So just give it all to us!

no one is gonna talk about how churches actually do that and call them testimonies ?

Gaping void in his life, lmao.

It always seems strange to see recovered addicts who make it their life's work to talk about their addiction. I get wanting to help people, at at some point you should probably move on

Ugh there're too many lamps :(

Drew, where can I get that shirt?

Hey drew my friend had that shirt!

Why does the one guy look like extreme drew 💀

"Memories are in our heads not the objects" this is true, but you've got to remember that the objects can remind you about the memories if you forget. Imagine that you're 70 and you still have your pokemon cards, but you havent thought about pokemon for 50 years. Imagine how amazing it would be to be reminded of that thing by finding that object when you clean up. I agree that unnecessary stuff is bad, but sometimes stuff can be very good to keep.

Clearly the people in the comment section didn't understand the true meaning of minimalist. 🥱

6:02 Sooo ... Steve Harvey?

F that I want a huge castle with tons of fandoms stuff in it.

Guys this is just the beginning of fight club

Bro this just makes me think about school presentations

宇宙人👽Tシャツ

This is for rich people to feel good about throwing away all their stuff so that can buy new stuff.

They even have the "American conman" look.

The ted talk grift is a easy game. Adopt the manurisms and easy to understand learning point, then charge 50k for each fifteen minute talk for Execs around the world.

the first guy looks like drew tell me im wrong

My uncle watched this documentary and started acting like this for about a month before he went bought new stuff to replace what he got rid of lmao

These guys are just marketers... Selling the same product over and over again. They are what they hate.

I'm def a little bit minimalist just cause me and my husband especially him are very stingy but like we don't really have any decorations or anything fancy we just don't but stuff we don't need but man I couldn't take it as extreme as some ppl

The guy that first came up looks like the bare minimum requirements of being a Steve Bushemi look-alike.

my teeth are cold ok bye

Cigarettes used to make me throw up so I literally just stopped. But vaping helped until that started to make me sick.

The Minimalists would probably just put their kids on ADHD drugs.

Sounds like you're being indoctrinated into a cult to me!! Holy shit, sounds like a church sermon up the ass.

They should have been so minimalistic that the documentary is just 10 seconds of them saying minimalism good stuff bad.

They're so minimalist they say the same shit over and over

I'm dying this guy looks like Drew left in a dehydrator

I could never get behind the whole minimalism thing. I like things. My Yu-Gi-Oh collection and my clothes and my various trinkets and photo walls and plushies make me happy and I'm tired of feeling ashamed or like I have to apologize for liking material things.

There's been plenty of minimalism in India for a long time.....and it sucks!

There's been plenty of minimalism in India since a long time.....and it sucks!

I made a video on this too! fitop.info/build/videot/Zn6Xc6WXpt6Zrn0 These minimalist cult people messed with my head. I also made it really long as a preventive measure.

"There was a g a p i n g v o i d in my life, and I filled that void withe literal hot hair and a sense of superiority."

Minimalism creeps me out. I feel uncomfortable with just how plain and empty everything looks after cleaning my room (even worse now when I live in an apartment that is too big and I can't afford alot of furniture. the place is only big due to weird circumstances also it's cheap for it's size but I still struggle w/ money -god I want a roommate it's so empty here I'm so lonely- )

We live in a society... based

These guys are like “This one weird trick will solve all your problems!” And then they go on to say how they are more enlightened than everyone else because they shop less.

all i learned is to fill the void with nothing

The dude on the left in the video thumbnail is what you would look like after 8+ years of meth, piss jugs and big rigs

i turned nihilism into a religion

there's nothing i can enjoy more than drew ranting about a subject i know nothing about

1:21 - the guy on the left actually looks a bit like David Miscavige....!

GOD, I CAN'T STAND DAVE RAMSEY. I live in Tennessee and the entire Econ curriculum for highschoolers revolves entirely around what that man has to say. No shit -- my whole semester of senior econ was just watching Dave shame us for our financial choices, love God, and spend two hours explaining one very basic concept.

0:29 a... minimalist definition?

Less clutter in your home gives you more happiness? Color me surprised

I DO spend more money on shoes than on higher education...... I should have refused the scholarship and PAID!!! I feel so ashamed

You should make a video about Dave Ramsey, the guy in this documentary who says "I want it, I want it now". Dude's the platonic ideal of a guy who used to be poor, got rich, completely forgot what it was like to be poor, and now makes a living telling poor people how to get rich. Some of his advice includes: - Don't do anything that would get you a credit score (don't get a house until you can buy one in cash, same for a car, don't get a credit card, etc) - Before anything else, get $1500 and lock it away for emergencies (not actually a terrible idea but he seems genuinely unable to understand that many people don't have hundreds of dollars just laying around) - You Too Can Be Rich If You Stop Buying Starbucks Every Day

There is a saying that can relate to this: "Those who say that money can't buy happiness, never had any.”

I took a buzzfeed quiz that told me I was susceptible to cult manipulation, and it’s absolutely true.

“It’s like if you went to church and the sermon was about how the pastor became successful”. Bruh that’s exactly what those jet plane seed faith televangelists do.

That’s why Moses wasn’t allowed into the land of milk and honey. Too many fidget spinners.

Things are not things, but the things are the true things.

The fucking privilege of being able to choose to have nothing

I always tell myself that I will not be loved if I do not buy a certain toothpaste

3:30 My niece actually saw a Dawn Power Wash commercial today and immediately asked me if that's what I use. Now I'm supposed to wonder if that was a moment of devaluation?

to become a true minimalist ,you have to remove all non-vital organs from your body.

Matt d'avella is crying in the corner😂😂

Hell yeah, give us nothingggg

9:40 he has a blender, isn’t that what teeth are for?

Would love to see these minimalists go to a war zone or financially impoverished zone and convince people that actually they're leading lives of pure bliss without possessions...

Minimalism is like veganism. A good cause with the most insufferable vocal minority. The people who practice it (but don’t make it their main personality trait) are good people.

The worst thing is that it's not even true, at least not for everyone. I have a lot of "stuff", a lot of things that make me happy because they are nice to use or even to look at - some both. Also, a lot of things can help you bring back beautiful memories - so yeah, they make you happy. I really appreciate the things I have. Another thing: this whole concept makes me feel bad in a way for people who have no choice - people who have nothing like homeless people, refugees, all kinds of poor people around the world.

Him calling his mom “mom” to other people instead of “my mom’ has infuriated me since I was a child

They showed this doc to us several times at an iop center for substance abuse treatment hahaha

Imagine making two whole documentaries with the same stuff, and the FIRST one is BETTER than the second one. That’s the definition of a money grab when you aren’t even adding to your first message.

"By their own logic they should be cutting things out of their life that don't add any additional value but... that's not what they're doing... at ALL."

Those documentaries are actually just very long commercials, so you would buy their books to get the solution.

Little did Drew know... He was looking at a future version of himself.

6:47, damn I was at least expecting them to change their wording lol

Lmao it actually does sound like slam poetry XD

Ooh, I think I bought a pair of shoes when I was in college. I feel so bad.

drew gooden vs evil drew gooden who stole his monologue from the spongebob squarepants movie

ok im a minimalist but i absolutely hate these kinds of attitudes in docs like this. it's so fuckin annoying. that woman really said "i will not be loved if i dont have this toothpaste. my children will not value me if i dont have this dish soap." no honey, we just dont want you to be dirty. and btw, if people want things, it's ok to have things. you dont need to shame them. it's all about moderation, like all else in life.

Minimalism for me is a good way to keep my messy behaviour in check, it stops me from becoming messy, having poor hygiene and dropping self care. That's just a tool I use to keep my life somewhat stress free, I also do like owning the same shirts lol it makes getting dressed easy (as a man no one cares what I wear, as long as it's clean and I don't smell!)
