Goodbye, Things: On Minimalist Living

Fumio is preaching to the choir here - I am a work in progress minimalist and many things he talked about in this book I already practise. Still, I managed to take a few new tips from the book. His thoughts about how minimalism helped him be content with the lot in his life and thus helped him stop comparing himself to others was a revelation. I am definitely not there yet, but it gives me hope that I will get there. It's the section about how minimalism transforms your mindset that I found most inspiring.

Fumio's brand of minimalism may seem extreme to many (five shirts only? No books? Not gonna happen to this gal, that's for sure) but he takes pains to say that we create our own brand of minimalism.

Really inspiring book. Fumio is great at explaining how and why minimalism has made him so much happier. and I agree!
