Let Go 50 Lessons from Japanese Minimalism to Set You Free

As we grow older, human beings accumulate more and more unnecessary things just by living. And not just objects, we accrue connections and status in addition to expensive goods. If you don't throw these things away as soon as possible, you become a person who can't throw things away. Before you know it, your life is full of noise. You're tied up. Full of anxiety about the future. That's a tough kind of life, isn't it? This bestselling and hugely influential book provides an overview of the top ten things you can let go of in five of the most important areas of your life: money and the things you own, your working life, your physical and mental health, your relationships and your lifestyle. We all cling to habits we learned from our parents, grandparents, friends and society and not letting them go comes at the expense of our personal freedom and overall life satisfaction. All of the '50 Things' included in this book centre on the idea that minimalism can have a hugely positive impact on your life by clearing away the noise. Every item you let go of clears space for more freedom and creative energy to flow in. Embrace the courage to let go!
