Micro book review of “Goodbye, things”
Here’s a very short review of a book I haven’t read. A client recently shared with me her excitement for her new copy of goodbye, things by Fumio Sasaki. It already has me thinking, though I haven’t read any part of it. Of all she was telling me, these two pieces have really stuck:
Tim Ferriss’ podcast interview with Marie Kondo
I don’t live and die by Marie Kondo’s word, and actually rarely prescribe her method to my clients, but I’m a huge fan. I love that her name has become a verb and that she’s layered the world with a fresh awareness of the impact of things on our spirit and mood.
