Fumio Sasaki is not an enlightened minimalism expert or organizing guru like Marie Kondo―he’s just a regular guy who was stressed out and constantly comparing himself to others, until one day he decided to change his life by saying goodbye to everything he didn’t absolutely need. The effects were remarkable: Sasaki gained true freedom, new focus, and a real sense of gratitude for everything around him. In Goodbye, Things Sasaki modestly shares his personal minimalist experience, offering specific tips on the minimizing process and revealing how the new minimalist movement can not only transform your space but truly enrich your life. The benefits of a minimalist life can be realized by anyone, and Sasaki’s humble vision of true happiness will open your eyes to minimalism’s potential. 16 pages of color illustrations Review: Great read - This book has helped change my mindset in terms of decluttering. Every time I chose to declutter an item, whether it went to donation or to the trash, all I could ever see was how much money I wasted. This book challeneged me to look at it from a positive viewpoint. They were items I onced loved but didn't anymore. I recommend this book for anyone struggling to declutter. The beginning of the book features photographs from the author's own decluttering process. It really helps put things into perspectvie. Review: thank you Fumio - Thank you Fumio for such an enlightening and profound read. I just graduated and have been feeling a sense of urgency for a while to get a good job now I have a good job and to climb corporate ladder, to build intellectual and emotional intelligence, to navigate modern dating, to stay fit and eat healthy and a barrage of other non stop aggressions. Thanks to minimalism and the ideas of this book coupled with spiritual training and meditation I can finally breathe and live in the moment. Things really do block our insights into the space of happiness. You are a great author and excellent teacher. I thank you so much Fumio ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #26,073 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #21 in Home Cleaning, Caretaking & Relocating #147 in Happiness Self-Help #408 in Motivational Self-Help (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 6,417 Reviews | ## Images ![Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Y1rkvA2CL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read *by L***. on March 30, 2026* This book has helped change my mindset in terms of decluttering.

The author testifies he formerly lived a shallow life full of clutter but has not now transformed to a life of meaning because he's stripped it of non-essentials. He's learned he doesn't need most of the things society says is important for happiness, so everything he owns now is crucial. Discarding things has freed him up to focus on what he, the individual, not society, believes are the most important things in life; people and present experience. This book says simple living, gratitude, and flexibility are the keys to a well lived life. Big Ideas I Took from This Book Get Rid of the Notion that Someday You'll Use Something: I like this rule because I use it when I try to justify keeping mess in my house. I was mortified he caught me keeping "fancy disposable bags" I think I'll use in the future. Get Rid of Decorative Stuff and Unused Furniture: I like the rule about getting rid of unused furniture. Extra furniture and things increase the need for square footage and square footage means more rent. Material Belongings Have Baggage: Items we don't use speak both positively and negatively. The unread books on our shelves tell us we lack follow through. The expensive chair we no longer sit in reminds us of a poor impulsive purchase and posturing. Stuff Controls our Time, Directly and Indirectly: A big house requires a lot of cleaning. Expensive purchases requires lots of income and high income requires absorbent amounts of stress and time. He says since he reduced his footprint he's had more time to work on things that are important to him and his confidence has increased. He wrote this book, created a website and has reached out to celebrities who've agreed to coffee. That newfound courage is new to him and he credits minimalism with the positive change. Before reading this book I was following a basic form of minimalism, but after reading I am reignited to adopt a stricter approach because I believe it will have a huge positive impact on my lifestyle. ## Frequently Bought Together - Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism - Hello, Habits: A Minimalist's Guide to a Better Life - Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/41517335-goodbye-things-the-new-japanese-minimalism](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/41517335-goodbye-things-the-new-japanese-minimalism) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
