Finished listening to these two audiobooks this week as a follow-up with the previous one by Kiku Katana's Minimalism (to read my general view and opinion on minimalism philosophy, CLICK HERE). I find that these two authors are very interesting. Like I said in the review, the philosophy of minimalism is simple (true to its meaning), but the implementation is different based on context, culture, and preferences.
Fumio (read the book a few years ago borrowed from the state library) writes from the Eastern - or Japanese, to be exact - background. Meanwhile, Hammond, I presume based on his examples and contents, from the Western background. Fumio is well-known (next after Marie Kondo) in the minimalist world, but, Hammond, although has written other books on different subjects, is not that popular. I can relate to Fumio's experience more than Hammond's because Fumio is a single man but Hammond is a family man. Yet, I'm more inclined to Hammond's ideal of things because Fumio can be a little bit extreme (oh yes, Hammond too in some points). Which one is better? Well, it depends. If I have to suggest one between the two, I say, read Fumio's goodbye, things, especially if you're still single. But the holistic view that Hammond adopts in this book like family and budgeting (i.e. financing) is very much needed for both singles and married couples in a difficult time nowadays. By the way, consider their ideas and suggestions but don't take them too literally. Follow it if it's good. Tweak it until you're comfortable. Toss it if it's impractical. This is a philosophy, not an orthodox religion.
Let me suggest some FREE resources for you to get to know what is minimalism and probably you can apply some of the ideas in your lives ��� P.s: Just be careful not to be too obsessed with it. I find that the philosophy is harmless but the movement(s) have the potential to become a cult ��� #1Book1Week #LeadersAreReaders #GrowingLeaders #Minimalism #Philosophy #LetsMakeReadingCoolAgain
