Publisher's Summary
The bestselling phenomenon from Japan, with irresistible appeal to fans of Marie Kondo, that argues there is happiness in a minimalist life
Fumio Sasaki is not an enlightened minimalism expert or organizing 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 minimizing 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 realized by anyone, and Sasaki’s humble vision of true happiness will open your eyes to minimalism’s potential.

Goodbye things helped me get rid of my things
Great listen! He unpacks a lot of the hesitations I’ve had about getting rid of things and reminded me of the benefits. Worth it to listen!

Exactly what I was looking for!
This little book has been extremely helpful in understanding why we always want more and how to start letting things go. The author gets to the emotional, psychological issues that make minimizing difficult and also offers helpful tips for getting rid of things. I've listened to it so many times already, and it has helped me a lot.

Minimalism
This book is really well done. I would recommend this to anyone who has any interest in minimalist lifestyle.
This book really made me sit back and think about stuff I have been holding on for that I haven’t even used for years. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Definitely a "life changing" book.
Very relatable and doesn't come off preachy. Also concise and straight to the point. I love this so much I'm thinking of gifting the book to friends and family.

Worth Reading
The principles were great. I love the simplicity and subtle repetitiveness of the writing style. You're easily able to follow along and remember what's being said.
The reason I took away one star was because near the end of the book I was getting a bit frustrated, asking "well, what DO you do?". However, he did sum it up nicely by saying, and I'm paraphrasing, "minimalism is different for everyone. You need to find what works for you".
Overall, it's definitely worth the read. It makes you think about your possessions, and give you a positive outlook on things you can change to make your life easier.

Excellent book, very practical. Well read.
I bought this book looking for some helpful and practical tips to start my minimalist journey. I was blown away with how much the author related this concept to happiness, gratitude and other virtues. The narrator does excellent work and seems to have a true interest in the subject. Well done!
