Things That Matter is finally here! I put my heart into it, and I can’t wait to share it with you. Thank you for your support in helping me write it. You can pick up a copy at www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/676394/things-that-matter-by-joshua-becker/
Great to see. Seems like every time I want to pursue something, I’m derailed by others.
Most people resort to religion when they realize they have wasted their lives pursuing the wrong goals or the wrong things. People run after material things, wealth, fame, even lots of children- none of these can give one permanent happiness. The body, the mind are temporary. They change every day and even every minute. Ones focus has to be toward the permanent - a world beyond this egoistic individualistic I. Very difficult to achieve but definitely a worthwhile pursuit for a calm mind without anxiety, fear and selfishness.
It’s amazing how we let the unimportant things take control of our lives. At the end of the day what kind of car we drive or the tag on our clothes or how big our house is…. These things don’t matter. They don’t really bring us joy. In fact they take it away. Now I strive to focus time and energy on moments and experiences with my family. Thank you for your videos. 🥰🥰
Appreciate you taking the time to watch them!
Ok, that LITERALLY brought me to tears!! I've been going through the process of decluttering and also working on some habit changes like waking up each day at a certain time. Decluttering has forced me to feel allot of different ways, mad is #1 but I needed to feel this way to get rid of STUFF keeping me from enjoying life. Realizing the years, decades... wasted, it has been a major Ah Ha moment for me.
same here!!!!
Thanks for sharing your story. Decluttering is definitely a journey, but a worthwhile one. Thanks for the kind words.
Sometimed you need to just let go...
I am re-committing to simplifying and minimizing my possessions this year because we are not guaranteed tomorrow and I want to be fully present for my family.
You've got this!
God’s timing is always perfect! I SO look forward to reading this book as the next step in my journey! Thank you, Joshua, for all that you do. It has made such a huge difference in my days. 🤗
Thanks for the warm words Valery. They mean a lot. I hope you enjoy the book.
I hope my library will have the audiobook version. Love listening to you 😊
Joshua Becker is so inspiring! Happy to get to read his new book soon.
Thanks Heather. I think you'll enjoy the book.
Great video. The background with nature was excellent. Great clips of quality family time. 😁👍
This is so great, Joshua! Thank you for your boldness to be a light for God’s Kingdom, and push back against what the culture says we “need.”
You and Dawn (the Minimal Mom) have made a massive difference in my life. I don’t find it coincidence you’re both Christians. Thank you.
You videos are so thought provoking and so inspiring. Your so smart and insightful!!! Thank you so much for sharing 👏🙏
This is SO true! Thanks for the reminder, Joshua. I have been simplifying and decluttering our home in a big way over the last year. Now it is time to really peel away the dross in how I spend my free time.
Will there be an audiobook with you doing the narration? I would love that ❤️ Thank you for sharing 👍. Stay safe healthy and happy 🇺🇸
Yes indeed, I just recorded it this week as a matter of fact :)
@Joshua Becker That's Awesome 👍. I can't wait. Thanks so much for letting me know. Stay safe healthy and happy 🇺🇸 ✝️ ❤️

I bought your new audio book yesterday. It is so good it’s hard to stop listening. Thank you
Love it ! Great job Joshua you transmitted a beautiful inspirational feeling!
Very well said, thank you!
100 % truth! Now, the action needed to impart these wise word🙏🙏
Life is ever too short!
Can't wait for this to come out - I want to simplify so I can enjoy life rather than spending my free time cleaning and maintain possessions. You are just what we need Joshua, you messages are clear for us all.
Why wait?
Thank you. Tina, Al's wife
I have to buy this book for me. Thank you Joshua for your wisdom
Wow, that is awesome quote, it is not that we have a short time to live but that we waste a lot of it.
Thank you for this video.
This is beautiful! Looking forward to reading. 📚 ❤
Not only is this your best video, Joshua, this is the best video-message I ever seen! No exaggeration! God Bless you & your family. Thank you✝️🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the kind words.

Thanks :)
such wise words..thank you so much for putting this into perspective..i am retiring in 4 days..i am so grateful for what i have!!
Congratulations!
Congratulations on the book. I can think of nobody better suited to give this message. I’ll be honest this isn’t my thing at this point in my life. But it’s an important message for others seeking this guidance in their journey. So good luck with the book and helping others in this expanded portfolio. I just hope you’ll continue bringing your brand of minimalism to the rest of us while doing this as well. Thanks for all you do Joshua.
Thanks so much William.
Ah! You just solved a question I had earlier today. I wondered why the news site 1440 had that name. You answered it when you said we have 1440 minutes in each day.
Thank you! Looking forward to it. I am spending the day volunteering for a fundraising event for lifesaving to provide first aid and advanced resuscitation. Enjoy your weekend.
That's amazing!
I listen to your videos just to get to sleep! Love them all, so interesting and we should all take your advice and stop waisting valuable time and concentrate on important things in life.
Thanks with ALL MY HEART !!!
Thanks for watching.
Hi, I have been following your for years and I have learned a lot from you. My life is better also because of the email I get from your channel. Thank you very much, you really inspire me to become a better human being. I would like to know more about the project you have with the orphans. How did you start? how is it going ? does anyone help you ? I would like to create something like that. looking forwards to hear from you. Best Regards from Italy
I definitely needed this!! 😇 Thank you..
Just said goodbye to my Mom, so this is especially poignant and meaningful. Beautifully said Joshua and I'm really looking forward to reading your new book.
Joshua, this is so, so good, thank you for your ministry to others. GAIL
Dope video ! Also great way of promoting your book !
Thank you 🙏⚘
Beautifully said. So very true. 👍
Good timing as we in Canada face the darkest of days. Thank you.
I shared this channel with people today . I would describe this channel as inspiring . Thanks for being different in a culture who is ruled by material
So glad you find these videos valuable. Appreciate you taking the time to watch them.
I wish that I had redirected my energy and time to things that matter sooner. I recently lost my mother only a couple of weeks ago and though I know she is with the Lord, the separation and loss of my best friend is unbearable. Nothing else truly mattered, but I was so distracted. Now, with deep anguish I only wish for just one more moment with my momma... If anyone is struggling with stress from *things* that seemingly matter, please I encourage you to take time today to figure out what truly does in your life.
So sorry to hear aout your mother Hannah. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Yay! It it comes out on my birthday! So looking forward to it. This trailer literally made me cry Joshua!
Happy birthday Becs!
I always enjoy your videos!! This one really spoke to me. Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks 💕🙏🏼
Thank you very much Joshua . I really appreciate you . You are a good human being and you are helping thousands of people . Thank u again
Wow, such kind words. Thank you Farsaneh. That means a lot.
Congrats on the release! Would love to participate in the book club.
I saw this video and was surprised right away with the filmography, direction, lighting, captioning, etc. I was afraid he was changing up the way his videos are presented, the style, and felt a bit sad. But then I realized this was for his new book! Will definitely look into purchasing this book. Thank you and keep up the great work and we love your original videos and style.
Glad you liked it Jady. I'll keep my usual formatting for most videos. :)
Agree 💯 Dankeschön !
Thanks for this message! Now its time for me to choose for the things that matter in my life and stop wasting time on UA-cam. So thanks for the heads up! If it works out and I'm gonna spend less time on UA-cam, maybe I'll buy your book to fill up the time I will have, if it's for sale in the Netherlands!
On the journey. Can’t wait to read it! Thank you for all you are doing!
So excited for this book! And thankful to Joshua and all the people behind making it a reality. Ready for positive changes!
Live with a purpose.
I watch your videos to keep reminding me of the positive impact one person can have. Thank you!
Thanks Julie!

Thanks Pattee. Lots of good feedback for sure. I’ll definitely do it again. I had a great time.
i don't want to rush time but april can't get here soon enough!
thanks for everything, joshua
i've intentionally cut back on spending money this year on my hobbies while still spending time on them and there's a sense of freedom i didn't expect from not shopping in addition to diving deeper into my interests
That's great when you can strike that balance and actually put more time into your hobbies. I appreciate your words. Looking forward to hearing what you think of the book.
May God Bless you!🙏🏻❤️
Such clarity! Thank you so much, Joshua.
Is it bad wasting time?. Is it bad get distracted in life? I want just to sit and relax and no having the pressure of achieving the highest I can be....I just want to be , pure , natural and get lose in my thoughts surrounded by the ones I love......Of course this will never happen as I have to work to pay my bills!:)
Thank you for sharing
The hardest possessions for me to release are the ones with sentimental value from loved ones. What mindset would make that easier?
Hi Francine, I have a video about that - I'll link it below. Thanks for watching the trailer.

Thanks so much for this Video :)

Good grief. This is the first time a trailer has brought me to tears! How far away is April????
Not far at all now!
Great word. Such truth. Thank you, got to get your book.
Hi joshua,the way u think is really incredible. U r doing really good work. What ever u say regarding minimalism, I just feel to b in sync with that.Just smtym back I saw a video on utube in which some organization ideas were being given, too much stuff, n it reminded me of ur saying first we purchase things n then we purchase organizers to arrange things, I commented that actually there is no need of too much stuff,but probably the channel person got offended, n I thought no need to reply back to her reply, of course everybody has a choice.
Keep carrying on good work, it makes a difference for many
Thanks for the support Roma. It means a lot.
Yes. And Yes. Yes!
Love to you and your family.
Yes…I love it! But how DO we achieve it?
Remove distractions? How we spend our time? We choose well? Put aside lesser pursuits? Hmmm ok. Would love more substance…but that’s not your burden but ours. I appreciate you trying to put this in front of us so we can address it.
We each need a vision in order to sort through the clutter…and we need to know our purpose, ultimate goal and the passion God has in mind for us. What he made us for beyond the larger purpose of glorifying him, helping others, etc…
I’m done chasing after it…and exhausted from getting it wrong…just waiting.
Nope, that's my burden too. I think the path to remove distractions from lesser pursuits depends quite a bit on which distraction it is. The book highlights the distractions I think are most prevalent and provides a way out, but the best approach to removing them depends on the specific distraction to be sure.
Every word is very true.
Looking forward to reading the book! The things mentioned in the video remind me of books by Greg McKeown (Essentialism, Effortless) and Johann Hari (Stolen focus). Excited to experience what your book will be about!!
Thanks Simini! I hope you'll find the book useful.
Powerful message love your content & well done on your new book 🥇🎉🎊👍🏼😀🙏🇮🇱
Oof, this hits me right in the midlife crisis. 🙃 I’d like to read your book but don’t want to cry.
P.S. Are you a Tolkien fan? This year for my birthday I’m going to act like a hobbit and give away as many mathoms as my age. ☺️
This gave me goose bumps !!! Love this so much ❤️
Love this... but cannot ignore that you got a botton down black shirt =)
Thought I should dress up for the occasion. :)
@@JoshuaBecker you look great! :)
I can hardly wait for my book to arrive!
Thanks Suzanne. I hope you'll find it helpful.
I CAN'T WAIT!!
Can’t wait to read it. Thank you.
Thanks Elizabeth.
