I thought that was inspiring and what a sense of freedom it gives you. I also like the extreme minimalism that he was heading toward.Well, really though, I’m not a fan of Apple product (due to many of their business ethical issue), but I have to admit he’s right about the minimalist style in Apple product. Even though I do not like (nor dislike) these people, I like how he described the benefits of minimalism in how Jobs and Messi work. He clearly a Steve Jobs and Lionel Messi fan.I like the idea that minimalism is simply enough for you, whatever your definition may be. Sasaki described minimalism at individual level, and set no standard for anyone.I just want to point out a few things I love about this book: Some other readings that may be complimentary to this book (which I will review at a later time): The Art of Discarding by Nagisa Tatsumi, and The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. In the book, Sasaki described his minimalism journey, and provide tips of how to get there. I won’t go much into details about the summary, it’s right below here as I copied from Goodreads. There is something very genuine from the tone of the book. Since then, I have also read other books about minimalism, but my conclusion is that this one is simply the best. I listen to it all the way to work and sometimes during my free time, when I’m not busy cleaning up my clutter and minimizing. Since then, I probably have re-read it dozen of times. This book certainly has become one of my most read books. I don’t know how that book has changed his life, but it has certainly changed mine. Couple of months ago, a member of my online book group posted images of his empty house and wrote a review about the book Goodbye Things by Fumio Sasaki.
