The Art of Discarding: How to Get Rid of Clutter and Find Joy by Nagisa Tatsumi

4.0

A very relevant book with a simple premise. In essence, it is a guided reflection to think again about our relationship with objects. Heavily influenced by the Japanese way of life, it may take some extra thoughts to adapt all the examples to the reality in other parts of the world. The arguments and thought chains the book proposes are nonetheless easy to follow, even if some of them may feel too extreme at first in a time when sustainability is in everybody's mouth. The Spanish translation is made in the Spanish dialect, which adds an extra layer to the cultural context of the text.
