Daisuke Yosumi – Let Go

Let Go: 50 Lessons from Japanese Minimalism to Set You Free with Daisuke Yosumi

‘Letting go is not a loss – it is an act of self-respect.’  Marie Kondo 

What if a freer, richer life doesn’t come from gaining more but from letting go? In today’s world, everything is too busy, too fast, too complicated and too connected.  

In this talk, bestselling author Daisuke Yosumi shares practical lessons from Japanese minimalism, showing how ‘letting go’ helps you simplify your life and focus on what truly matters, from money and time to habits and relationships. This is not about decluttering – it’s a life strategy in a chaotic world.  

Daisuke Yosumi has created ten million-selling hits as a music producer in Japan, before moving to a lakeside forest in New Zealand in 2010 to fulfil a long-held dream. He mastered the art of ‘letting go’ through three radical life stages: his difficult school years, the corporate battlefield in Tokyo, and now a self-sufficient life free from the pressures of time and money in New Zealand, where he lives with his family. 

He also leads LifestyleDesign.Camp, an online community school for post-capitalist living. –
