  • There are both commendable and excessive concepts presented in this audiobook, 'Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism'. For instance, the notion of embracing the present moment is beneficial, but it may not be as effective when it comes to preparing for retirement. It is crucial to consider long-term planning for satisfactory outcomes. Considering our consumerist society in America, if we were to adopt approximately 50% of the author's suggestions, we would likely experience improvements.
  • I had mixed expectations going into this book, but as I reached the end, I couldn't help but come to the conclusion that I'm not fond of the author. It seems like he's struggled with alcoholism and has a history of mistreating women. Surprisingly, he decides to declutter his life and only purchase items in neutral colors like white, gray, and tan. To make matters worse, he admits to using the same towel for drying both his plates and his private parts! Instead of buying books solely for the purpose of impressing others, he shifts his focus to purchasing Apple products in the name of minimalism. However, it feels like he's missed the mark on true minimalism. It seems like he's simply replaced one kind of excessive shopping with another, just with a different set of criteria.
  • This book is definitely one of my top reads/listens. The author's thoughts are well-structured and incredibly logical, making complete sense. The ideas presented are also very current and relevant.
