Minimalism: The Japanese Art of Declutter to Organize Your Home Life by Kiku Katana
Minimalism: The Japanese Art of Declutter to Organize Your Home Life by Kiku KatanaMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
The book started strong, presenting ideas on minimalism. It emphasized that minimalism is not deprivation but moderation. It is not black and white, and there is no specific number of things that you should own or what items you should not purchase. It depends on what is valuable to the individual and how he becomes intentional with all his purchases and practices.
However, I had to give a low rating since the book takes a turn and banks on the idea of Marie Kondo, rather than expanding its own. It also gives some examples that I do not agree with such as eating only one meal a day, to save money and lose weight. There is a difference between being frugal and being a cheapskate.
