Ideen und Gedanken über ein Leben mit wenigen Dingen

Ich bin nun schon so einige Jahre am Rande der Minimalismus-Szene unterwegs und habe acuh schon so einiges gesehen und gelesen. Das Buch von Fumio Sasaki wird ja immer mal wieder erwähnt und dann gab es da das Hörbuch in der Onleihe...

Das Buch ist eine interessante Mischung aus "praktischen" Tipps für ein minimalistisches Leben und einer eher spirituellen Grundlegung. Gleichzeitig bietet es aber wenig wirklich Neues, wenn man nicht bisher wirklich nur den Lifestyle-Minimalist*innen auf Instagram und Youtube hinterher gerannt ist.

None

I felt like re-reading this, but since my pile of library books is consistently way the heck too tall I figured I'd get the audiobook to listen to at work.

The content is just as fantastic as when I first read it, but I really don't like the narrator. He's very monotone and makes it all seem so dry. 

If it is not a hell yes, it is a no. Beep boop, emotions have been decluttered.



It's also nice to have the lists in the book as, you know, lists, but I can hardly fault a digital audiobook for not providing me with a piece of paper. Still, as much as a love this book, I think it's a better experience to read it rather than listen to it.
