What is Reddit's opinion of Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I am new to the minimalist lifestyle. I was recommended reading the book Goodbye, Things. It’s 5 hours long Auto and probably a shorter read if you get the book. I highly recommend it for you and your spouse.

In the book he gives 52 ways for becoming a Minimalist. I can’t remember them all but here’s a few: Get rid of anything that is broken, needs fix, junk or that you have two of (obviously clothes do not fall into the later category. Get rid of something right now There won’t be anything that you regret tossing If you ask yourself would I buy this again if your answer is hell ya keep it if it’s not toss it.

That’s about all my little brain retained. ��

Oh when in doubt throw it out Don’t make up creative reasons to keep things If you have a hard time tossing something out put it out of sight for a while. If you think of it 5 times in a month-keep it. If you don’t toss it. Use auction sites to get rid of hard items for you to get rid of (ebay) Don’t get hung up in the price you paid for it. Ok that’s truly it. Read his book. Get your So to read it. Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393609030/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_tbZsCbDV13V4P

My prediction - The Minimalists are not well liked on Reddit - probably why he's getting downvoted. What was once an honest message turned in to a weird health guru podcasts of jumping on all the latest trends. I found them very hard to listen to.

Another book rec is Goodbye, Things by Fumio Sasaki: https://smile.amazon.com/Goodbye-Things-New-Japanese-Minimalism/dp/0393609030

Read this book: Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism. This book explains how embracing the minimalist lifestyle will free you from envying others, and being content with yourself. Thanks to minimalism, I'm no longer envious of my successful friends.

The single best book (or audiobook) I recommend every beginner about minimalism is "Goodbye, Things". The writing is simple and direct. It's full of interesting insights and advice.

After that, read "The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo. Why not the main book? Because the manga (comic book) is easier and more entertaining to digest and goes over her main ideas just fine. While Marie Kondo isn't a minimalist, her methods complement it immensely.

And for the love of God, avoid "The Minimalists" or anything by them. Absolutely preachy, pretentious, surface level garbage.

I finished this one recently, it's pretty cool

Here is his new book on Amazon. Not many reviews but it seems to be well-rated so far.

That's fair. I think I just don't like owning a lot of physical things. xStation is great for that.
