There's happiness in having less. That's why it's time to say goodbye to all our extra things. That's the minimal version of the message that I'd like to convey in this book.

Introduction
The urge to acquire, hoard, or flaunt our material possessions has been part of our society for millennia.
Our ability to buy the things we need is both a symbol of security and of prestige — the more things we own, the better our social status.
And yet, with 21st-century perks like online shopping and fast fashion, our purchasing habits seem to have spun out of control.
More and more people around the world are turning towards minimalism as a way of resisting capitalism and finding happiness in simplicity. Japanese author Fumio Sasaki is one of them.
In Goodbye, Things, Sasaki recounts his journey towards simpler living — from understanding why we have so much and learning to let go, to everyday minimalist practice.
