    At 55 years old, YesTheory has inspired me to do more, be more, travel and explore the world more. But most of all, it has taught me to give more. Since watching this channel, I have sold/donated everything I owned, left my job and set out to BE in the world. For the past three years, I have traveled to more than 30 countries; I have danced in Ibiza, ran a marathon on the Great Wall of China, walked for 40 days across Spain on El Camino de Santiago, trekked the Sahara in North Africa on camel back, donated my time and expertise in the medical field, as well as built houses for the homeless in Mexico (where I now live)... . And when people ask me what I hope to BECOME in this world... my answer is always: YES!

    I almost never comment--I'm one of those weirdos who observes quietly, but I'm compelled to add this note, despite the possibility of it not being seen by those behind Yes Theory and Seek Discomfort. I'm not within what I assume is your target demographic. I'm in my 40s. While I openly admit, I haven't been a follower for years (I only found your channel last year), the direction you've been heading opens up the possibilities to so many people. Your stories and challenges transcend culture, ethnicity, and the (often foolish) boundaries we humans create. You've inspired millions of people, including me, by simply transforming ideas into action. On behalf of the millions of people you've touched, thank you for what each of you does--in front of the camera and those behind the scenes. We need this, now more than ever. Here's to each one of us: may we achieve our dreams and goals one by one. Cheers!

    For me, one of the hardest things about becoming an adult was realising nothing lasts forever and everything is transient. Eventually this helped me learn acceptance, but it was a harsh reality at first. Everything is always ok in the end. love your channel and your guys' attitude to life. You're all very human. Sending you all the very best.

      As a teenager i was sold on that “forever” lie. In my late 20s, I too began to learn that there’s no such thing. In my 30s I was fairly lost but became busy and built a career, corrected some bad decisions and mistakes. In my 40s I realised I have always had this sense of not fitting in anywhere. Born on a land that I have zero cultural association with, from ancestry that I have zero connections with. Spending a decade researching my family history, only to meet brick walls very early on in as soon as one century.
      My acceptance of everything in one basket is that the world will still turn in what is an inconsequential series of events and experiences. Good or bad. In a thousand years no one here will remember you, and anything you did will be forgotten. So I have accepted that my existence is a perfect accident, and that we all drift through our lifetime until we cease to exist.

    Life isn’t about fighting change, it IS change, and one of the things I most like about Yes Theory, and you Thomas, is that consistent openness to leap into these new chapters and not get stuck in the past.
    Entering this new phase requires letting go of how things were but I don’t see it as a loss. I see it as creating space for all of the beautiful memories and experiences to come...
    So welcome to Paris bro!!! So excited about this new chapter. Paris is a moveable feast.

      For me this is the best. While I joined with the "old" Yes Theory even before you even had 500k subscribers, It was never because of the content itself. But the energy, and emotional intelligence that you could feel. In fact, as you say, while Thomas is saying they have changed, it's not an artificial change. It's part of life, and growth. And Yes Theory just keeps getting better and better.
      Also, it was because of Yes Theory I got recommended to your channel, which is absolutely incredible. Hope to see more collabs between you guys, specially now that you are neighbours ;)

    Thanks so much for telling your story. I'm 52 years old and I'm changing my whole life up right now, and I'm extremely excited about it! These last 8-9 years in Seattle have been very challenging and in the last three years I was in the room twice in one year when my dad, and then my mom, passed away. After my mom passed, two weeks later, pandemic lockdowns happened, and I felt so much the same as you. I struggled for connection. I yearned to travel, and yet, I wasn't able. I'm grateful that I was safe and doing something I loved.
    But now, at 52, with most of my family gone, I have the opportunity to return to Germany, where I was born. Even though I am American, I'm going with confidence that I will find the job that I need. I'm leaving in 2-3 weeks for London, where I will be going to school for one month on a intensive course to teach English as a 2nd language so that when I land in Berlin later this year, I'll be able to find work. Last Friday I quit my job of six years, in a career field that I have been in for over 30. I'm reinventing myself, I'm giving everything up. I'm starting fresh, and I absolutely cannot wait. Thanks for your story, I am encouraged that other people are also shooting for the stars after these last few challenging years. Cheers my brother, I can't wait to see what you all have coming next!

      Look at the company's financials, check to see what their level of debt is, look for press releases, earnings releases and any news pertinent to the company. Also research the people who own it the company.
      Aside from that, pay attention to the trade volume. Numbers increase when a stock is about to blow up. Examine trends on the graphs as well

    This feels so special. I began watching you guys when I was 15, feeling so overwhelmed with joy, excitement and inspiration as I say what life had to offer through your videos. Still in high school, I didn’t feel like I could accomplish that, that I couldn’t grab the joy of life like you did. After my mom’s passing in summer before I started university, I made one promise: to feel as inspired and joy-filled with life again once, just once, like how I talked to my mom with so much inspiration after watching that first ever video of you guys. I just finished my bachelors in university, went solo travelling to South America on or five months (currently watching this from Bolivia before flying back home to on Thursday), turned 22 on this trip and for the first time in years I felt that same excitement and inspiration for life. After years of watching all your videos, I took the leap of faith: solo travelling is not something to be afraid of and strangers are only friends you haven’t met yet. I can now proudly say, all of that is true and travelling gives you some of the best inspiration, joy and happiness, that I wasn’t able to feel for almost 4 years after my moms passing. Thank you for giving me faith in myself that everything will be all right, that change is beautiful and seeking discomfort leads to the best memories and proudest moments. I love you guys, I’m so glad that I was able to grow into an adult with this channel and that you’re also still growing and changing.

      JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

      @@naan2580 Wanna know something interesting? While it's true that all animals have an instinct for self-preservation (without which life could not continue), it's only humans who carry a conceptual idea of death. But the funny thing is that the word "death" and its attached meaning only exists because of the limitations of our senses and their narrow spectrum of perception. Like how our eyes can't perceive infrared waves. What's cool though, is that practices like meditation that have existed for thousands of years teach techniques to shut down one's senses and withdraw from the external reality of form and sound, to return to space and silence.
      When one's senses are withdrawn, consciousness begins to expand. And what you realize is that death is an illusion of the physical reality.
      To put it simply, Islam is a religion. And religion requires belief and faith. Both of which are blind. I prefer to be gnostic instead.

      Ehh, I think what concerned a lot of people was that their content felt more soulless for a while - maybe not soulless, but not Yes Theory. They were videos that any youtuber could have and had done. Specifically, a good example would be the "we're spies today" episode where they learned "how to be spies." Was a fun video, but felt like any channel could have done that video. I love these guys and I'm really excited for what they're going to do next, there was just a period where it felt like (and it seems Thomas basically said this) they were kind of just creating content to create content and see what was liked. I really hope they do mature their content and do the more human videos they used to.
      And there are absolutely many videos that feel quintessentially yes Theory, like their visit to the country that doesn't technically exist and met an old woman who took them in as her grandsons, so beautiful.

    I'm leaving America after living here for 5 years and going back to my home country, the Philippines. Like Thomas, America had been a country of opportunity and growth but I'm yet to go adventuring somewhere I can call home -- it might be the Philippines, or somewhere else. I don't know yet. I'm on a student visa here in the States and it's expiring soon. I prayed that my company would sponsor me but it didn't seem like it was happening so I was resigned to just accepting the fact that I had to go back to the Philippines. I'm not too excited about it but this video gave me the courage to look at things from a different point of view. I hope that I can look back in hindsight and be thankful for the unanswered prayer of being able to stay in the States. Thank you Thomas and the rest of the crew!

    I have a similar origin story to your's, though mine outdates your's by over 3 decades. I was born in Japan to a Japanese mom, and American dad back in January of 1960. My native tongue is Japanese, but at almost age 7 my father was transferred to work in Hawai'i. In over 56 years I have never had the funds to return there. I attended college here from 2019 thru 2021 earning a degree in architectural engineering & CAD, and during this time in college I won a scholarship to attend a university in Tochigi, Japan (my mom's home prefecture) during the summer of 2020. Covid hit in March of that year, and all scholarships were canceled. That was my one and only chance to go back to the country of my birth. I am almost 63 now, and I figure if I work real hard for the next 5 years I may be able to visit Japan one last time. I have something to work for, and to look forward to. I am a recent subscriber, but you have become an inspiration to me. Best wishes to you from Kailua, Hawai'i.

      Hi there, I have no idea about your financial situation, and apologies if this information isn't useful to you, but I wanted to mention that Japan can be done very cheaply and I don't know if a lot of people realise that. ... last time I went I spent $250 on accommodation for two weeks (Hotel backpackers Toyo in Osaka - private room with aircon, shared bathrooms) and less than $500 on flights from Australia (no idea where you're based of course) by hitting up the Jetstar flight specials. Airline points is always another option, which can be gathered over time for basically nothing but planning and time. I think a lot of people think they need ten thousand or something to visit. But a meager trip done in the right way can often be done for less than you might think.
      I hope you can get there more often than just once more in your life!

It is indeed unbelievable how long 7 years is and how much can happen in that timespan. I too have lost my grandfather with whom I had an amazing relationship and very coincidentally I too have just bought my first appartment (in Brussels, so if you are not far off, would love to grab a coffee). We might not have taken the same path in our lives, but we have shared similar struggles and have undergone the same learning experiences in getting older. And it is refreshing to see this portrayed in this video. In that sense, I think I feel more connected to this channel now, than ever before.
