Goodbye, things : the new Japanese minimalism

Sasaki, Fumio, 1979-2017
Book
Fumio Sasaki is not an enlightened minimalism expert or organising guru like Marie Kondo--he's just a regular guy who was stressed out and constantly comparing himself to others, until one day he decided to change his life by saying goodbye to everything he didn't absolutely need. The effects were remarkable: Sasaki gained true freedom, new focus, and a real sense of gratitude for everything around him. In Goodbye, Things Sasaki modestly shares his personal minimalist experience, offering specific tips on the minimising process and revealing how the new minimalist movement can not only transform your space but truly enrich your life. The benefits of a minimalist life can be realised by anyone, and Sasaki's humble vision of true happiness will open your eyes to minimalism's potential.
