Embrace the concept of "less is more." from "summary" of Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism by Fumio Sasaki

The idea of "less is more" may seem counterintuitive in a society that often equates material possessions with success and happiness. However, by embracing this concept, we can discover the true benefits of living with less. Simplifying our lives by decluttering our physical spaces can lead to a sense of clarity and freedom that is difficult to achieve when surrounded by excess. When we have fewer possessions, we are able to focus on what truly matters to us. By letting go of unnecessary items, we can create a more intentional living environment that reflects our values and priorities. This process of elimination can help us to see more clearly what brings us joy and fulfillment, allowing us to cultivate a deeper sense of gratitude for the things that truly matter in our lives. In a world filled with distractions and noise, minimalism offers a way to cut through the clutter and find peace in simplicity. By reducing the number of material possessions we own, we can create a sense of calm and tranquility in our living spaces. This minimalist approach can also extend to other areas of our lives, such as our schedules and commitments, allowing us to focus on what truly brings us happiness and fulfillment. While the concept of "less is more" may initially seem daunting, it is important to remember that minimalism is a journey, not a destination. It is about making intentional choices to simplify our lives and create space for the things that truly matter to us. By embracing this concept, we can cultivate a sense of mindfulness and appreciation for the beauty of simplicity in all aspects of our lives.
