Learn to live with less from "summary" of Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism by Fumio Sasaki

Living with less is not about deprivation; it is about liberation. It is about freeing ourselves from the burden of excess possessions that weigh us down physically, mentally, and emotionally. By learning to live with less, we can create more space in our lives for what truly matters. We can focus on experiences rather than things, on relationships rather than possessions. In a world that constantly bombards us with messages that more is better, it can be difficult to embrace the idea of living with less. We are taught to equate success and happiness with the accumulation of wealth and possessions. But this mindset only serves to trap us in a cycle of consumption and discontent. It is a never-ending pursuit of more that leaves us feeling empty and unfulfilled. When we learn to live with less, we discover the true value of simplicity. We realize that we don't need a closet full of clothes or a house full of gadgets to be happy. In fact, the opposite is true. The less we have, the more we appreciate what we do have. We learn to be content with what we have rather than constantly craving more. Living with less also allows us to focus on the things that truly bring us joy. When we declutter our lives and get rid of the excess, we make room for the things that matter most to us. We can prioritize our time and energy on the people and activities that bring us fulfillment and satisfaction. We can let go of the things that no longer serve us and embrace a more intentional way of living.
  1. Learning to live with less is a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. It is about letting go of the things that hold us back and embracing a more meaningful and intentional way of living. It is about finding freedom in simplicity and contentment in the present moment. It is a path to a more fulfilling and authentic life.
