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 book to give a different perspective on buying things - Love this book. Have reread it a few times when i need a reminder to stop buying things i dont need. 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 | #25,955 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #24 in Home Cleaning, Caretaking & Relocating #150 in Happiness Self-Help #426 in Motivational Self-Help (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 6,427 Reviews | ## Images ![Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Y1rkvA2CL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book to give a different perspective on buying things *by P***A on May 21, 2026* Love this book.

I thank you so much Fumio ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not a Kondo Clone - Another Approach *by C***N on April 18, 2017* After being introduced to Fumio Sasaki's variety of minimalism on websites describing the new Japanese minimalism and watching a YouTube video of a Japanese show that brings a Westerner to spend the night in Sasaki's minimalist apartment, I was eager to read his book. I find the ways he has streamlined his belongings and his life particularly inspiring. As another reviewer said, some of the contents could have been tighter, but there is much good in this overall. Sasaki's story of his path to minimalism will resonate with those who have found themselves in the midst of excess at one point or another. I personally appreciate his perspective as a working professional, not a digital nomad. (Although since the book was published, he has changed his work.) There are a variety of tips and elements related to minimizing presented in the book. He also highlights some of the other Japanese minimalists he knows, including a married couple who are not extreme minimalists. Some of the tips are common to other sources on downsizing and minimizing, but are good nonetheless. Others are uniquely addressed in this book. For example, some people are concerned that they will lose their identity in some way if they get rid of things, and Sasaki reinforces the fact that this is not true. This is a nice addition to the body of work that may inspire others to minimize their belongings, and the pictures enhance the text. ## 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.pt/products/41517335-goodbye-things-the-new-japanese-minimalism](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/41517335-goodbye-things-the-new-japanese-minimalism) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
