What if a freer, richer life doesn’t come from gaining more, but from letting go?

This Japanese bestselling phenomenon reveals how you can access your true self by letting go of everything in your life that no longer serves you.

In 2010, Daisuke Yosumi left his prestigious role as a hitmaker at Warner Music Japan to fulfill his dream: living a self-sufficient, minimalist life in New Zealand. By letting go of his career, status, connections, possessions, and 90% of his income—Yosumi reclaimed his true self. Since then, he has become a bestselling author and a pioneer of Japan's minimalist and digital nomad movements, inspiring millions to discover freedom and happiness through letting go.

In Let Go, Yosumi invites you to strip away the clutter—both physical and emotional—in an age of too much: goods, information, and pressure. His methods cover every aspect of our lives: money and the things we own; time management; health and stress; mindset and habits; work; and relationships.

Through fifty simple yet powerful shifts, Yosumi shows us how to:

  • Declutter your home and finances to create space for what truly matters
  • Break free from outdated habits, constant multitasking, and the pressure to prove yourself
  • Let go of negative self-talk, draining relationships, and the need to please others
  • Reimagine work and lifestyle choices so they align with your true self

With relatable stories and gentle but transformative advice, Yosumi offers easy steps you can begin today. Practical and deeply inspiring, Let Go is not a book about becoming a minimalist. It's a life strategy for finding true freedom, true happiness, and your true self.

―Iwan Carrington, Sunday Times bestselling author of Clean in 15

“The moment you stop trying to force additions to your life, your true talent and abundance will begin to flow. This book is about letting go of fear and reclaiming control of your own destiny.
