fewer, better things: the hidden wisdom of objects

This book is packed with great references and resonated deeply with my current mindset. Less is more, but less is not as easy as it might seem at first. It made me pay more attention to the items I own, encouraging me to reflect on how they were made and whether they truly bring joy. It is easy to overlook the craftsmanship behind everyday objects, especially the materials, care, and mastery used in their construction, and the delicacy of their design. Now I am more mindful when bringing something new into my life, asking whether it adds value and joy.
