Whats one book has changed your life?
Selfishly looking for recommendations to add to my list 📚☕🙏

Even at 60 years old and being retired, I’m finding your videos so beneficial. Thank you!

I’ve been called selfish with my time, but my time is so valuable to me! I’m not going to waste it doing social activities that mean nothing to me. It’s hard turning people down, but you’ve got to protect your time. Like you said, you’re not turning down the person, you’re just turning down the activity.

I'm 59 and was at a fork in my road. Worked for the man my whole life and hardly did anything I really wanted to do. I watched and keep watching your videos and wished I had heard all of this a lot sooner but still feel fortunate to absorb this now. I have made some concrete decisions going forward because it's not too late to edit my goals and focus on the things I really want to do, which is to really live.

Everyone's ultimate goal is self discover/awareness. Go inward, Gabe. Love and light xxx🙏

0:24?! Can we please talk about awesome this shot is!? I started watching your videos for the productivity lessons and stayed because of your dry sense of humor and dope camera shots. Always inspiring me for my channel. Love your videos man! Keep 'em coming!

That winter/snow road footage was beautiful.

I’ve been a practicing minimalism for the last year. I stumbled on your videos yesterday and love them. There has been something I have gleaned from all of them.

You are one of the nicest people on You Tube!!! I hope you continue to be blessed and do well!!

[MarkFarfan]

I'm much newer to essentialism and minimalism that you are, but I'm going all in on it!

two of the books that have really changed the way I look into the world and into myself is "The power of now" by Eckhart Tolle and "The four agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz.

[ReSprout]

*Your Money or Your Life* and *The 4-Hour Work Week* were important books for me. Oddly, I don't think it was individual specific messages they each had, but the general philosophy they both shared: mainstream culture is broken, you will not be fulfilled living a lifestyle of consumerism or overwork (respectively), and the only way to escape either is to take drastic and wildly unconventional action. And most importantly, those actions were ok, and they had been successfully taken by others before me. When I began explaining to friends and family why I was working half-time, paying off my mortgage at triple speed, and renting out my house while everyone I knew was doing the exact opposite of all this (working overtime, taking out home equities, selling their homes and upgrading), these are the books that backed me up with encouragement. And where I'm at today financially is a direct result of these books and many others like it.

i have learnt to say NO over the years. it really set me free.

[teresastorms]

I'm about halfway through Essentialism. It's a good read, and makes so much sense!!

[catherineg.]

It's a great book indeed ! You're videos are getting more and more beautiful. Watching from Paris, I appreciate these video breaks among the american landscapes and homes, with all that wood everywhere ! You're lucky to have discovered minimalism/essentialism at your young age. It would have saved me a lot of worries and useless efforts if I had known about it earlier... Go on with your work, and less but better and better !

[impactingothers]

Geez finally another good book that understands me. I'm on the same page with everything in " essentialism" so far.

Love how I'm watching this video nearing Jan 4 2022, my birthday! On time :)

Love love love 'The Art of Frugal Hedonism: A Guide To Spending Less While Enjoying Everything More' ~ It's a short book, but always inspiring. I read it at least twice a year...
