The Way of Danshari: Reducing Possessions for the Sensitive Minimalist

Hello there. Well, well, what kind of intelligent and smart book will we encounter today... Kindle Library Director Yocchan'sToday's Recommendation is here!

Ryosuke-san's
The Way of Danshari: Reducing Possessions for the Sensitive Minimalist.

Ryosuke-san realized he was an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) about four years ago. He says that around the same time, he encountered cognitive behavioral therapy and Zen, and has been deepening his learning ever since.
Using the knowledge he gained at that time, he currently works as a life coach acting as a companion for sensitive, hardworking people.

Ryosuke-san has published a series of books aimed at sensitive, hardworking people. The one I am introducing this time is the third in the series, "The Way of Danshari."

The word "Danshari" (decluttering) is something everyone knows, isn't it? I'm sure many of you remember when it became a huge boom. Let me excerpt the flow of that boom from the book.

The "KonMari Method" of keeping only things that spark joy
Come to think of it, I read that a long time ago~, I remembered it with nostalgia (at that time, I threw away a lot of things that didn't spark joy, but my stuff increased again💦).
Since there are many books about Danshari, I imagine many people have read something about it.

Ryosuke-san explains this flow in more detail. For me, who simply thought, "Danshari is just about throwing things away or reducing them, right?", the book was packed with explanations that made me nod in agreement. By seeing the big picture from Danshari to Simplists, I gained a different perspective and new discoveries. It is sprinkled with descriptions that make you think, "It would be wonderful to live like this!"

Now, Ryosuke-san analyzes that about 80% of the many books, methods, and know-how currently in circulation are not intended for sensitive people, but are aimed at non-HSP people. As someone who is sensitive himself, he has feelings about this. Therefore, this book conveys Danshari aimed at sensitive people/HSP individuals.

In Japan, there are many things that end in "-do" (the way), such as Kado (flower arrangement), Sado (tea ceremony), Shodo (calligraphy), and Bushido (the way of the warrior). This shows that the Japanese people are a nation capable of mastering a way of life or a state of being from any subject, with a spirituality, perspective, and way of thinking that allows for it. By incorporating Zen into Danshari, it has become a skill elevated to "the way of life and state of being that is Danshari." This is Ryosuke-san's original concept.

From a superficial way of reducing things to the Way of Danshari as a Buddhist aesthetic of subtraction.
・Feeling weighed down by too many things
・Wanting to blame yourself for not being able to tidy up
・Having regretted throwing something away
・Or being unable to take the first step for fear of regretting it
・Ending up buying things again (Danshari rebound)
If any of these ring a bell, please read this book.

It is not just "Danshari" but "The Way of Danshari", so incorporating it will also change your way of life. You can see while reading that it is not just one action of decluttering, but becomes a part of your way of life.

To give one difference between "Danshari" and "The Way of Danshari," it is the difference in the vector.
While general methods take current life as 100 and approach it from "how to reduce things," "The Way of Danshari" takes the present as 0 and is an approach to "reconstruct life."

Since the author himself is a sensitive person, the thought patterns of sensitive people are well-supported, so I felt it was very easy to engage with.

Also, it touches on "here and now" and "self-axis," which I love and cherish.
The Way of Danshari truly encompasses these two things completely. Since it is a "Way," I thought that where it leads is common to essential things.

As with anything, it is trial and error, and I think there may be times at first when you feel like you are failing or things aren't going well. But since hints on how to maintain your mindset and way of thinking at such times are properly included, you won't be at a loss. You can try it with peace of mind.

Also, Ryosuke-san's actual life following the Way of Danshari is shown with photos, so please use it as a reference. In any case, it is so voluminous that I cannot introduce it all, so I will stop here.

The path one has walked, the experiences one has learned and practiced. The method one has created. Kindle publishing allows you to share that with readers. It is a wonderful and lovely thing, isn't it?
