Today, after decluttering I took a break and decided to watch a video. Luckily, I was able found an interesting one on YouTube, it’s called “Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism” uploaded by JapanSocietyNYC.
The video is a recording of a lecture or presentation given to an audience introducing the ideas behind Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism, a book about the minimalism experience and reflections of Fumio Sasaki. The presentation was organized, precise, and informative, the author (who was also the presenter) poses simple everyday questions and shows us data to back up his own answers to these questions.
Here are a few points that was discussed in the video:
- Having more time, meaning of time
- Having more freedom
- Better relationships
- Obsessed with throwing things away
- Ease in moving to places
- Success v.s. satisfaction
It was definitely motivating to me listening to his view on minimalism and his experience on that lifestyle. Here’s a quote from the author, Fumio Sasaki: “I’ve let go of a lot of things; but the one thing that I’ve let go that is most important is the idea [of] ‘that money or fame is the most important thing’.”
