I've just finished listening to "Goodbye, Things" by Fumio Sasaki. I'm so glad I was doing other things whilst listening to it, otherwise it would have been a waste of time. The author is self-obsessed, and the content is shallow.
One reviewer wrote "What becomes immediately obvious, is that minimalism is for the author an aesthetic lifestyle choice, not an ascetic philosophy that aspires to any lofty ideals. The purpose seems pre-occupied wholly with external appearance. It's apt that the book begins with several "case studies" of fellow minimalist bloggers, because that's the quality the reader gets - a 258 page blog post." It's also incredibly weird the number of times he quote "Fight Club".
If you are after a book on minimalism. I'd suggest The Joy of Less.
