I just finished Goodbuy, Things! by Fan Xi Yu, and I feel a sense of calm and clarity I haven't had in years. I purchased this book on Barnes & Noble after a particularly stressful weekend surrounded by clutter. The feeling I had right after buying it was one of hopeful anticipation—a belief that a simpler, more peaceful life was possible.
Fan Xi Yu writes with such gentle wisdom and profound insight. This isn't a harsh, ruthless decluttering manual; it's a compassionate guide to examining your relationship with why you buy and what you keep. The author feels like a supportive friend, guiding you to ask the right questions of yourself without any judgment. Her philosophy on "making space for joy, not just removing junk" was a complete game-changer for me.
I've read other books on minimalism, but this one provided the practical, emotional framework I needed. Following her step-by-step process over the last three months, I've donated over 15 bags of items from my home. But the real change is intangible. I feel lighter, less anxious, and more in control of my environment and my spending habits. I'm no longer scrolling mindlessly through shopping apps; I'm making intentional choices.
The transformation has been noticed by everyone around me. My best friend came over last week and said, "Your home feels so peaceful now, it's like a sanctuary. I want my place to feel like this!" My sister, who has watched me struggle with clutter for years, remarked, "You seem less overwhelmed. You're finally free from all that stuff."
If you feel burdened by your possessions, mentally or physically, Goodbuy, Things! by Fan Xi Yu is the gentle, life-changing guide you need. It’s a heartfelt and transformative read that I will return to again and again.
