"Inspiring in its straightforwardness and sincerity . . . I don't
think it would be possible to read Goodbye, Things without taking a
look at your own home (and life) with a new set of eyes. . . . In
the end, what matters is the thoughtfulness the book inspires."
*Janel Laban - Apartment Therapy*
"In his new book, Goodbye, Things, Fumio Sasaki shares the lessons
he learned by going minimalist. . . . For Sasaki, minimalism isn't
about how little you have, but how it makes you feel. Sasaki
credits his minimalist lifestyle with helping him lose weight,
become extroverted and proactive, and above all, feel happy and
grateful for what he has."
*Heeseung Kim - Cosmopolitan*
"Makes the case for radical minimalism . . . treat each of
[Sasaki's] 70 tips as an opportunity to reevaluate how you use and
why you keep the things in your home."
*Jenny Xie - Curbed*
"Take your spring cleaning to the next level with Goodbye, Things
by Fumio Sasaki. A best-seller in Japan, this book uncovers why we
want to own more than we need, what this mentality does to our
well-being and how we can live better by owning less."
*Katie Neal - Parade*
"If you’ve ever felt bogged down by all of the things filling your
life up with clutter then this is the book for you."
*C.A. - The Daily Want*
"In a time of rampant consumerism, a new movement is preaching an
alternative path — one that banishes all but the most fundamental
and enriching consumer products from our lives. In Goodbye, Things,
Fumio Sasaki recounts his conversion from reckless hoarder to
hyper-mindful consumer, and offers advice to those seeking the same
simple happiness that he found in minimalism."
