Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism is a nonfiction book by Fumio Sasaki that presents minimalism as a practical and psychological response to modern overconsumption. Rather than treating minimalism as an aesthetic trend or a strict organizing system, Sasaki frames it as a way of living with only what is necessary so that attention, time, and emotional energy are not constantly drained by possessions. The book combines personal memoir with advice, making it partly reflective and partly instructional. Sasaki draws on his own experience of feeling insecure, overworked, and inclined to compare himself with others before deciding to reduce his belongings dramatically. Through that process, he argues that owning less can create more freedom, clearer priorities, and greater gratitude. The book is aimed at readers who want to simplify their homes, rethink consumer habits, or understand why material accumulation often feels unsatisfying even when it appears convenient.
