HELLO, HABITS A Minimalist's Guide to a Better Life

Minimalist Fumio Sasaki (GOODBYE, THINGS) shares insights on making and maintaining habits. Narrator Brian Nishii adopts a reflective, musing tone that matches Sasaki's thoughtful material. This is not a peppy call to self-improvement manual--it's a quieter reflection on habit making (and keeping) that takes into account what helps and hinders habit forming. Nishii's conversational tone complements Sasaki's pared-down, low-drama text. The author shares his own methods for transforming efforts into habits in what sounds like a long musing on human nature filled with a selection of provocative quotes to consider. Listening to Sasaki's work is offered in four simple chapters. Chapter 3, for example, is "50 Steps for Acquiring New Habits." Overall, listening to this work is like taking a rambling walk with an insightful friend. J.C.G. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2021]
