👎Pek tutmadım💤Sıkıııcıııı!Listened it on the Audible. It really is a book about minimalism in a maximalist way, and many things are taken to the extremes here, which is not right. I myself is more minimalist then maximalist in life, if we talk about things, but the book is really passable.
It is basically a big list of "good sides" of the minimalism, the book doesn't have any particular structure. Many of the points either described in too many words, some points basically repeat themselves, and many of them are not really important, or completely absurd!
Really? Leave only one towel in the house? Discard your things, because when you have many of them, they can hurt you if a natural disaster strikes? What a BS reason is that?
It's fine to live in the 20 sq.m. apartment? Well, this is subjective, but have fun trying to live somewhat comfortably with a partner there.
Although there were some smart thoughts and reasons, not gonna deny it, but most of the book's information can be shortened tenfold, and the ideas will be the same. Passable! - utiutsbir izlenim paylaşıldı5 yıl önce
I learned a thing or two, but this branch of minimalism is even meaner than Marie Kondo. It fills me with a sense of alarm, in a bad way.

Watashi no uchi niwa nanimo nai (There’s Nothing in My House), became a big hit. I was one of the many people who had been shocked to see pictures of Mai’s sparse home. She’s been given the nickname Sute-hentai (Weirdo Obsessed with Throwing Things Away).
