The Minimalists Tickets

The first hour had them both telling their stories, which I have to imagine most people there had read or heard plenty of times in some form. They are good speakers but that's about all I can say about that. May have been interesting/useful to some people who never heard any of it before, but not sure how many that would have been. The serious followers probably got into it even though it wouldn't have been new. People in between were probably bored like me. Maybe if it was shorter that would have been ok. The second hour was Q&A they recorded for a podcast. Something like the first 3 questions asked got long answers, then they did short "twitter format" answers to more. That format sounds like a good idea appropriate for the subject, but in reality it's just gimmicky. Some of those later questions could have used longer answers, more than some of the earlier ones that did get long answers. And they sometimes spent so much time carefully composing their "twitter" answers they could have just given a longer and better one in the same amount of time. OTOH, most people asking questions spent way too long rambling. That would have been a good and interesting use of twitter format - only take questions that were phrased in 140 characters or less to force people to get to their point. Then give an appropriate length answer - do the twitter thing when it made sense, say more when there was more to be said. Might have also been good for people to submit questions via twitter so they could have selected a few really good questions that asked something new and interesting, instead of whatever the first people in line happened to ask.

Even though I've been following them long enough to have listened to all the podcasts and watch their documentary and several essays on their blog site, I still learned something new about them. And their message is always inspirational to me. Great show, good laughs, and an important message. I'll be looking forward to all the podcasts from their live tour! Thanks Minimalists :)

Great experience! Learned a lot and a thoroughly awesome evening. Biught the VIP pkg so got to sit with The Minimalists and a small group for 45min before the show. Loved it!!

We could not sit through this show. No new content, they just read from their badly written book and skirted audience questions. There are many contradictions in their "stories." Found it interesting they avoided any personal questions that didn't align with their usual content. They seem big on pushing how they donate all their excess money to charity but somehow it doesn't seem authentic. They don't seem to want to discuss their lifestyles currently, just the last decade of their lives where they quit their corporate jobs and are somehow happier.

This was just a poor review of the documentary. The question and answer portion was silly. Boring

Josh and Ryan were entertaining, as usual. I wasn't sure what to expect from a live show, but it was pretty much like their podcasts. I enjoyed the live Q&A the most.

The Minimalists share their story and tips for living an intentional life. They offer practical wisdom for transitioning your life to include minimalist principals no matter your level of interest. They are fun to be with, many laughs were had and we left with new inspirations, and the best part was their signature "hug" after the show. Even our teenage daughters had a great time! I highly recommend an evening with the minimalist.
