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 really enjoyed hearing your wife laughing. I felt it was heartfelt ❤. As for all the comments, they look at the tree but miss the forest. 😊 Keep up the good work. 🎉
I love the fact that you talk slower than most youtubers, it´s such a relief! Most youtubers stress me out with their fast talking, lots of cuts in the video, music in the background and so on....
I can't even imagine why people on the internet need to tear down others, I think you are setting such a great example. You keep inspiring all us, we are here for it!
Really, if I don't like a video, I move on to the next one. If I really want to make a statement, I push the thumbs down. I don't understand why people waste so much energy being negative. I mean life is so much more enjoyable if you focus on the good and beautiful
@@TheEllaTB constructive critique is helpful. Like if somebody mentiones that every time he wears a striped shirt the picture jitters, the person in front of the camera can chose another outfit. Imagine you make amazing content and people don't consume it, because the jittering goes so much on their nerve and nobody tells you. I stopped going to my physics lessons because the room had echos. It gave me a headache. The professor was great, the topic was great, but the room sucked so much that I prefered to stay absent. Making a critique about stuff that can be easily changed can be very helpful. But I guess, it is an American thing. We Germans like to give and receive critique.
I totally agree: the calm voice is nice! It's nice to relax to. Also, it helps those people who are learning English as a second language. I know of listeners who prefer fast talkers. Instead of telling the UA-cam video maker to speak faster, those listeners just go into the controls and change the video to run at a faster speed.
On “speaking slow”, I appreciate this because I can share with my dad who is learning to speak English, and he really likes that you speak with enough pause that he can learn and understand. So, thanks for that.
He has the typical way of talking like some priests have. If you speak more slow, make longer breaks, it sounds more meaningful. I mean, the only tool a priest has is his voice. It must be trained and it has to sound wise and beyond. A priest has to convince his followers just with his voice that in the end everything will be fine without having any proof. Usually you need training for it and when you believe in what you say, you will be more convincing, too. They are the ones who talk about love and giving, and being nice, etc. And then there is the other kind of priest who always talks as if somebody just destroyed his 2000 piece of puzzle he had nearly solved. They talk about sin and judgement and annihilation. In my opinion the last mentioned are usually the ones who don't believe in God but use the faith of other people to gain money, status and power. I'm glad the priest in my youth was of the first sort.
When someone says, “I wish that you made more videos”, that seems to be a compliment, rather than any type of insult. The viewer obviously enjoys your videos! 😊
Speaking clearly and slowly is what has drawn me in to your message of minimalism. Love your channel; thanks for making decluttering so achievable. Looking forward to all the videos to come.
I just found the channel yesterday - or maybe the day before, but I'm working hard to clean the clutter out of my house so I need all the help I can get. It's hard work :( I'm sure I won't achieve minimalism but if I can find halfway there I'll be doing good!
This really made me laugh, so funny how judgmental people can be! Glad you took it all in good humour. Kim is so nice too, I loved her comments, please have her in more videos (this isn't a complaint ha ha).
The same for me. I am from Romania, I know English well but it s more helpful the way you talk. I undersatand better and it gives me calm, balance and peace.
English is my second language, I like when people speak clearly, thanks! I have perfect graded grey hair from front to back lol. When people comment anything on my hair color, I say: at least I have hair. Thick Hair!
You guys are adorable! Love Kim’s minimalist comments & responses as well as your wonderful heart attitude about the wonkiness of humans. Thanks for all you do and share!
So glad he is taking these lightly! As I would be so sad if he did not have these videos anymore. I love them! They are simple, well made, to the point, and kind. He is always kind in the videos.
You have great eye contact and you are very sincere and motivating! People talking about your hair are jealous! Anyone that speaks about Christianity or Christ is criticized by the world! I love your content! Sweet to see your wife supporting you. Keep up the good work!!
It’s so unfortunate that people feel the need to criticize and pass judgment, but it speaks volumes about them. I am grateful for your channel and I look forward to your posting notifications. My husband and I are currently reading ‘The More of Less’ which we are thoroughly enjoying and discussing. We are slowly beginning our journey into Minimalist living. I appreciate that your videos are so informative, actionable and very motivating. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences in your own journey.
I love that you called people out on this video. These comments are hilarious and ridiculous. I think the people who call you creepy might be uncomfortable with the simplicity of constant eye contact and focus. Personally, I like how it feels like you're talking to me directly. It's refreshing. Your messages are always clear and inspirational. Thank you!
I once saw a guideline for a good zoom-call and they said if you sit to near in front of your camera some people consider this creepy, because it gives you the feeling that the virtual person is invading your personal space. Since different people have different big zones of personal space, people can see this different. I don't care, but I even don't care if a stranger sits next to me in an otherwise empty bus.
Here is my critique: you and your message changed my life! Keep doing what you’re doing because you are really influencing many of us out here in a very positive way.
I look forward to your vids every Friday (despite the creepiness, crazy hair and slow talk 😂). Peeps on social media are ruthless and heartless. You are just FINE! 👍
I have ADHD and my brain goes a million miles a minute. Listening to you is a welcomed change from the fast pace, loud, cluttered environment I often am in. You help me calm down and focus while decluttering, which is already anxiety provoking! Keep speaking calm, it helps with the retention!
Please don’t increase your “speaking speed”, it’s so nice to listen to someone speak clearly, rather than rushing through, I am SO glad I found your channel. I am on a new journey. 👍🏻
If it bothers you that he speaks slowly, you can change the speed in the right bottom corner. I do this all the time. Works perfectly ;) Keep up the good work Joshua. Don't listen to haters.
Yup, "lit" means it is on fire ... And with "lit" being only a 3-letter word, it is perfect for minimalism ... minimalistic word ... 3 letters .... ha ha.
I love the way you speak and deliver your content - it is calming and reassuring. Other faster speakers make me feel to rushed and stressed - so thank you and please don’t change.
Coming soon from Joshua Becker: "De-creepifying life, living less hairy on the sides". Haha, just shake it off. I love your videos! They are concise and straight to the point.
I’ve learned so much from your videos and your style of speaking and calm demeanor makes it easy to understand. I always feel better about myself and my efforts to self improve after listening to what I call your “ life lessons”. And all those comments about your hair...I’m betting these are people who already are thinning and have receding hairlines . Jealousy is an ugly animal. Keep up the good work . Your videos are inspiring.
You know the negative comments of people only reflect what’s inside of them or how they feel. Some people need to tear others down, to make themselves feel good especially when they see others succeed. Your tone is very soothing and not boring at all. Yes, you speak slower than most of those crazy people on UA-cam that think they can act, but yours is the right speed. Keep up the great job you’re doing! 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍 I’m glad you’re calling this people out in public!🙌
I saw you on another channel and I was surprised how funny you were! You have a great, subtle sense of humor with a little mischievous look at times. That's a great quality and I don't see it as much on your channel. You seem more serious. This video was also funny! Let your sense of humor and smile come through. One other thing I like is you promote minimalism not just for the sake of having a self-focused life! But for helping others. Thismissing from other blogs. love your channel and have learned a lot from you and other minimalists.
A very good friend of mine says people who make negative comments about others is jealous. I find that to be true. You're living a wonderful life. Good for you!
Believe or not, yesterday morning I watched a video of you and I literally thanked you in my heart for speaking slowly!!!!!! For my English is my second language and your vocabulary and accent are clear, simple and fantastic. By the way, First time I saw you, I shared your video with my husband, who in return forwarded it to family and friends. Your doing a good job. Of course I don’t agree with you on certain points, but still I find what you do is helpful. My (Salam) to your beautiful Kim As for the negative comments, it would change a lot if someone writes his/ her name before writing a negative comment and then read it out loud and see what he or she would feel like.
I personally think social media has made people ruder in general. I think they just feel bold enough to say horrible things behind a computer screen as opposed to face to face
So great seeing Kim! I also don’t know how people can think negatively towards minimalism or your family. Also these comments had me dying of laughter.
I love your calm, slow speed of delivery. You're an amazing mentor. I discovered you recently and you've been a blessing to me. Love and blessings from Spain.
😂 so funny! I always thought that your delivery and speed of talking are a welcome change. I love how non-arrogant you are. I can hear grace in all your vids. ❤
You know, this makes me feel better about the comments I get! 😆 The “not being judgmental” comments are the worst. I like the pace of your videos- I love your content.
I love your videos, the message is always clear, the content is great, your tone is good and the clarity you provide is mature and serious but most people on UA-cam prefer animations and pop up information to keep the viewer engaged - it appears you're a true minimalist in that sense too - you put enough to sustain a decent count of subscribers. It's inspiring and I've happily forwarded your videos to my friends n family!
From your wife's reaction, I'm assuming you knew that lit was a good thing and just wanted to get that comment in there. 😂🙌 I love when people joke about rude comments. It's the best thing you can do with them. Your content has made my life better. Thank you for starting your blog all those years ago. 👍
Josh - LOVE your channel. I am now embracing minimalism in my life. Thank you! As for the negative comments, I've received alot of hate on UA-cam also...Most of the time, it's just people who are angry at life...and it really is not about you. I've learned to develop a thick-skin and just move on...You have way more fans than enemies here at UA-cam! Thank you to you and your wife for being part of my inspiration to move forward in my life. Blessings!
I am laughing so much ( hair comments). I think your delivery is good. As a former pastor, you have a certain tone and vibe. A vibe that is lit ( lol). Keep up the good work!!! I purchased The More of Less.
Wow, I'm so shocked by the unkind comments. I am reminded of the anonymous feedback that I receive as an assistant professor. Posting anonymously can bring out the worst in people. Personally, I am grateful that you make the effort to produce such helpful videos. Thank you so much!
Negative comments are part of the deal unfortunately. I've learned to get excited when my videos get them. My subscribers would never write them, so when hater comments start rolling in, I know my video is being suggested to new people and helping my channel to grow 😊 Shake it off and enjoy the many wonderful comments instead!
Wow! Well, at least you had fun with the negative comments. I enjoy your videos. I learn something with each one. I read your book and it was helpful. I have been decluttering for 5 years. I'm still at it. Being mindful of what comes into our home. I review drawers, closets, cupboards, etc because there is always something that can be let go.
As for talking slowly and your tone and delivery...what I love about your videos is the echo in your home! What a benchmark 👍🏼☺️. I also feel that your thoughts are so clear and your communication as well - because you are focussing on the important message and not being distracted by what is not important. And gosh, I think this actually is what its all about. You are a born communicator, hair and all.
Haha. So enjoyed your take on all the negativity! Our society thinks everyone cares what they think.....especially if it’s critical! Lots of unhappy people in this world....just keep being you! I find you very inspiring and my hubby AND I would love to have your hair!!!!😊
No negative comment from me! I’ve been watching for awhile now and love your speaking style. It is not ‘cluttered’ but covers the key points precisely. I’m a public speaker and have studied public speaking for years and more UA-camr’s could learn by your example. Keep up the good work!
I have found so much enjoyment watching your videos. I play them so my husband can “overhear you” 🤗 If it was up to me we would not have one thing left in our house😂 You don’t sound like a minister by the way, you sound like a spiritual man and the world needs more like you. 👍👍 from one UA-camr to another!
"Lit" means, it's cool. My 2 kids use this word all the time. Ignore the negative comments. Those people must be very unhappy with their own life, if they enjoy being mean to someone else!!!!
Love your channel, content, delivery, hair, humor! Keep it up! The encouragement many of us need to get rid of the attachment to the stuff and live a life that matters. Thanks!
OH MY LOL THESE MADE ME LAUGH HAHAHA. On a serious note, i binge watched your UA-cam and decluttered my entire home I feel like a weight has been lifted, and because I have more quality time I sit by the kitchen window and love to watch the wildlife in my garden. The free things in life REALLY ARE THE BEST! Thank you Josh, You changed my life in so many positive ways :)
Joshua, I love your hair! My grandfather had the same thick dark hair as you and the hairstyle was similar, so you remind me of him a bit. He was a great person and I miss him every day since he lost his battle with cancer three years ago.
Joshua, we love watching your videos. I love that you speak slowly. It shows a careful consideration for you words. My family started embracing 'Minimalism' a few years back and you have been super helpful! Blessings!! Keep up the great work!! We love your channel!! Just ignore the critics!!
I'm not sure why people feel the need to comment on others looks. Why does it matter? Shouldn't we celebrate being individuals? Regarding speaking slowly, I actually appreciate that in your videos. It sets you apart and provides a different style. I say keep being you, unapologetically.
Hey! Part of the peace I'm getting from starting minimalism is YOU, Joshua. Your calm, peaceful, slow delivery, and specifically slow delivery so we'll understand is just perfect. People want a fast talker? There are lots of snake-oil salesmen out there who talk really fast. They are always selling more STUFF!!! So keep doing what you are doing. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration, materially, and spiritually.
It is your slow paced delivery and ironically ( because in this one you do) no music videos that has made me into a subscribed follower who is changing my life at home for the better. THANK YOU! LOVE THAT DASH OF SILVER IN YOUR HAIR!

So true, It's the way he speaks that caused me to subscribe. So soothing.
Same here
Yes, I've actually had to stop listening to one or two UA-camrs because they stressed me out.
i agree.
Totally agree. In order to take in a new idea, it requires thought & time.
You’re not creepy, and your wife is beautiful. However this was really funny. 😂
I can't even imagine why people on the internet need to tear down others, I think you are setting such a great example. You keep inspiring all us, we are here for it!
Really, if I don't like a video, I move on to the next one. If I really want to make a statement, I push the thumbs down. I don't understand why people waste so much energy being negative. I mean life is so much more enjoyable if you focus on the good and beautiful

Because they have nothing going on in their dreary lives (their fault)?
I agree to this

Because of your calm voice, I got rid of lots of stuff, and that’s a complement. thanks
Compliment*
Haters are everywhere. Please don't let them get to you. Your way(speed) of speaking is so calming. Be the way you are!!
Hurryup I agree it helps me on days I’m feeling really anxious to hear calm, centered people talking about topics I enjoy
I totally agree: the calm voice is nice! It's nice to relax to. Also, it helps those people who are learning English as a second language.

I agree. I was surprised he took that as a negative comment.
Actually, most you tubers speak way to fast. It’s exhausting to listen to them. No one on tv talks that fast. Take a breath! You are fine.
Cupcake Cottage Studio I think those UA-camrs talk fast (usually with fast cuts too) because they don't have confidence in their content.
yeah. i even have to resort to settings and playback speed sometimes.
omg...yes! They give me a headache besides can't understand half of what they are saying. I end up unsubscribing even though I love their content.
Ditto.
Me too!
Your delivery tone is perfect and the way you speak allows me to absorb your precious words. Thank you from the heart♥️
Speaking clearly and slowly is what has drawn me in to your message of minimalism. Love your channel; thanks for making decluttering so achievable. Looking forward to all the videos to come.
When someone says a negative thing about you it is always about what is going on with them. Has nothing to do with you so no worries on your part.
Thanks for reminding me of that! So important!
Sorry, but I can't add a negative comment. I think too highly of you and your approach to minimalism. Thank you for helping me down this path!
I feel the same 😊
I just found the channel yesterday - or maybe the day before, but I'm working hard to clean the clutter out of my house so I need all the help I can get. It's hard work :( I'm sure I won't achieve minimalism but if I can find halfway there I'll be doing good!

I bet all those hair comments were by bald people 😄(( jealousy ))
You guys are great! Keep up the good work !
😂😂😂😂😂

Haha funny comment
Hahaha... that's what I thought also 😂
Ikr. Lol
"I wish you made more videos" is definitely a compliment!!
Being a non-native-english-speaker I love how you talk..
Your hair looks amazing..
Thank you for both compliments.
The same for me. I am from Romania, I know English well but it s more helpful the way you talk. I undersatand better and it gives me calm, balance and peace.

very hilarious video....the best way to ignore criticism is to laugh at it..and you are doing just that !!! Great idea!!!
Yes!
You’re a beautiful couple & you’re inspiring others. Ignore the haters.
😊🙏🔥lit
100% agree
Sounds like people complaining are not getting the point of your videos. Which is hilarious considering you're talking too slow for them. Hahahahahaha
🤣
That's great!
That is hilarious!!!!
Great insight! Ha ha ha
😄😅😂🤣
Delivery and tone is perfect - keep doing what you do, it works well.

I concur with Lisa Hale. Keep up the great work, Joshua and Kim. Keep on being you .... hair and all. ;-)
Your calm voice is REFRESHING!
Keep speaking slowly. I wish more people did.
Robert Linthicum Yes I agree, especially on the phone people tend to speak to fast
Robert Linthicum I agree, plus for those people that want it faster, they can change the speed on the three dots above.
Oh yes! I think so too, everything is rushed these days.
Wise advice 👍 I do agree with that!
Yes!

I love your videos. What a crack up.
I like the slow talking! Helps me follow and concentrate on your decluttering tips.

😂 Your wife’s comments had me laughing out loud
"If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all." Your videos are GREAT!!!
I have ADHD and my brain goes a million miles a minute.
Listening to you is a welcomed change from the fast pace, loud, cluttered environment I often am in.
You help me calm down and focus while decluttering, which is already anxiety provoking!
Keep speaking calm, it helps with the retention!
I love your videos and you’re wife is adorable!

It's not worth your time, or ours, to dwell on the negativity. Take the useful messages you can find and ignore the rest, Joshua🌿

Ignore the negative comments you have so much to offer. Keep doing what you do, it's great 👍❤
I love the speed and simplicity of your delivery. Also the short length of the videos. I've picked up a lot from them. Thank you.
“Your channel is lit” is a compliment. 👍 it is millennial slang for your channel is awesome.
I love your videos. Your wife is so pretty. Forget about negative people, they should try to make a video and see how hard it is. Thanks.
Nothing negative to say. Just discovered your channel and am loving it! Can’t stop - decluttering is underway 😉
So great seeing Kim! I also don’t know how people can think negatively towards minimalism or your family. Also these comments had me dying of laughter.
I like seeing Kim too!

I love your videos, the message is always clear, the content is great, your tone is good and the clarity you provide is mature and serious but most people on UA-cam prefer animations and pop up information to keep the viewer engaged - it appears you're a true minimalist in that sense too - you put enough to sustain a decent count of subscribers. It's inspiring and I've happily forwarded your videos to my friends n family!
Hear Here, Sylvie. Nothing wrong with his appearance or his delivery. I always appreciate his clarity and conciseness,
From your wife's reaction, I'm assuming you knew that lit was a good thing and just wanted to get that comment in there. 😂🙌 I love when people joke about rude comments. It's the best thing you can do with them. Your content has made my life better. Thank you for starting your blog all those years ago. 👍
Yes, correct.
Josh - LOVE your channel. I am now embracing minimalism in my life. Thank you! As for the negative comments, I've received alot of hate on UA-cam also...Most of the time, it's just people who are angry at life...and it really is not about you. I've learned to develop a thick-skin and just move on...You have way more fans than enemies here at UA-cam! Thank you to you and your wife for being part of my inspiration to move forward in my life. Blessings!
I am laughing so much ( hair comments). I think your delivery is good. As a former pastor, you have a certain tone and vibe. A vibe that is lit ( lol). Keep up the good work!!! I purchased The More of Less.
Thank you. I've been a minimalist for more than 2 years now.
Wow, I'm so shocked by the unkind comments. I am reminded of the anonymous feedback that I receive as an assistant professor. Posting anonymously can bring out the worst in people. Personally, I am grateful that you make the effort to produce such helpful videos. Thank you so much!
Negative comments are part of the deal unfortunately. I've learned to get excited when my videos get them. My subscribers would never write them, so when hater comments start rolling in, I know my video is being suggested to new people and helping my channel to grow 😊 Shake it off and enjoy the many wonderful comments instead!
Wow! Well, at least you had fun with the negative comments. I enjoy your videos. I learn something with each one. I read your book and it was helpful. I have been decluttering for 5 years. I'm still at it. Being mindful of what comes into our home. I review drawers, closets, cupboards, etc because there is always something that can be let go.
As for talking slowly and your tone and delivery...what I love about your videos is the echo in your home! What a benchmark 👍🏼☺️. I also feel that your thoughts are so clear and your communication as well - because you are focussing on the important message and not being distracted by what is not important. And gosh, I think this actually is what its all about. You are a born communicator, hair and all.
Haha. So enjoyed your take on all the negativity! Our society thinks everyone cares what they think.....especially if it’s critical! Lots of unhappy people in this world....just keep being you! I find you very inspiring and my hubby AND I would love to have your hair!!!!😊
It's interesting your channel , but your hair it's to complicated.
No negative comment from me! I’ve been watching for awhile now and love your speaking style. It is not ‘cluttered’ but covers the key points precisely. I’m a public speaker and have studied public speaking for years and more UA-camr’s could learn by your example. Keep up the good work!
These made me laugh! And your wife's laid back responses were so perfect. 😁 Keep producing great videos and changing mindsets and homes!
I have found so much enjoyment watching your videos. I play them so my husband can “overhear you” 🤗 If it was up to me we would not have one thing left in our house😂
You don’t sound like a minister by the way, you sound like a spiritual man and the world needs more like you.
👍👍 from one UA-camr to another!
Thanks for that :)

Actually I wish my minister spoke like you. I go to church to learn and feel good. So, I think it's a compliment.
I thought your picture looked familiar and then I read your name! I enjoy your channel! Blessings to you both!
I love his hair! I can't believe people are saying mean things about it. They have to be jealous!
Autumn Spring I totally agree!! Lol
Lol!! You apologize for butchering rude people's names. You are a hoot my man!!
I think it's sad that people would rather pay attention to your hair than to your message. They probably got Fs in school too for not listening
your speed when you talk is perfect !
"Lit" means, it's cool.
My 2 kids use this word all the time.
Ignore the negative comments.
Those people must be very unhappy with their own life, if they enjoy being mean to someone else!!!!
I think your delivery and tone are perfect. Your info is so helpful. Comments about personal appearance are uncalled for.
Love your channel, content, delivery, hair, humor! Keep it up! The encouragement many of us need to get rid of the attachment to the stuff and live a life that matters. Thanks!
OH MY LOL THESE MADE ME LAUGH HAHAHA. On a serious note, i binge watched your UA-cam and decluttered my entire home I feel like a weight has been lifted, and because I have more quality time I sit by the kitchen window and love to watch the wildlife in my garden. The free things in life REALLY ARE THE BEST! Thank you Josh, You changed my life in so many positive ways :)
LOL!! I for one LOVE your video's!! Happy to see your a Godly man. Keep up the good work!!!
Joshua, I love your hair! My grandfather had the same thick dark hair as you and the hairstyle was similar, so you remind me of him a bit. He was a great person and I miss him every day since he lost his battle with cancer three years ago.
The way you talk is great...I can fully understand everything you say in your videos....God bless you and your family!
Joshua, we love watching your videos. I love that you speak slowly. It shows a careful consideration for you words.
My family started embracing 'Minimalism' a few years back and you have been super helpful!
Blessings!! Keep up the great work!! We love your channel!!
Just ignore the critics!!
I'm not sure why people feel the need to comment on others looks. Why does it matter? Shouldn't we celebrate being individuals?
Regarding speaking slowly, I actually appreciate that in your videos. It sets you apart and provides a different style. I say keep being you, unapologetically.
Hey! Part of the peace I'm getting from starting minimalism is YOU, Joshua. Your calm, peaceful, slow delivery, and specifically slow delivery so we'll understand is just perfect. People want a fast talker? There are lots of snake-oil salesmen out there who talk really fast. They are always selling more STUFF!!! So keep doing what you are doing. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration, materially, and spiritually.
Love your channel, your Becker Method, your clear & concise speech & your “coiffed” hair with white streaks! Haters will be haters!
Thanks A. Kim!
It is your slow paced delivery and ironically ( because in this one you do) no music videos that has made me into a subscribed follower who is changing my life at home for the better. THANK YOU! LOVE THAT DASH OF SILVER IN YOUR HAIR!
