New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice"More than just a story of an abiding cultural preoccupation, The Longing For Less peels back the commodified husk of minimalism to reveal something surprising and thoroughly alive." -Jenny Odell, author of How to Do Nothing “Less is more”: Everywhere we hear the mantra. Marie Kondo and other decluttering gurus promise that shedding our stuff will solve our problems. We commit to cleanse diets and strive for inbox zero. Amid the frantic pace and distraction of everyday life, we covet silence-and airy, Instagrammable spaces in which to enjoy it. The popular term for this brand of upscale austerity, “minimalism,” has mostly come to stand for things to buy and consume. But minimalism has richer, deeper, and altogether more valuable gifts to offer. Kyle Chayka is one of our sharpest cultural observers. After spending years covering minimalist trends for leading publications, he now delves beneath this lifestyle's glossy surface, seeking better ways to claim the time and space we crave. He shows that our longing for less goes back further than we realize. His search leads him to the philosophical and spiritual origins of minimalism, and to the stories of artists such as Agnes Martin and Donald Judd; composers such as John Cage and Julius Eastman; architects and designers; visionaries and misfits. As Chayka looks anew at their extraordinary lives and explores the places where they worked-from Manhattan lofts to the Texas high desert and the back alleys of Kyoto-he reminds us that what we most require is presence, not absence. The result is an elegant new synthesis of our minimalist desires and our profound emotional needs.

I am not a minimalist and I don't even play one on TV. But ever since minimalism became a thing, I have been obsessed with the topic and its promises of meaning and Instagram worthy aesthetics. I have read all the books that Chayka references in his very great book on this topic. But I am totally a voyeur. By which I mean I am also a huge skeptic and when things that are somewhat common sense -- STOP BUYING SO MUCH **** BECAUSE IT'S RUINING THE PLANET AND YOUR LIFE -- become an internet cult and Reddit forum, I think the topic is oversold and everyone is susceptible and dumb. But I will admit that I think about every purchase, am obsessed with clean, empty space and buy a lot less than I used to. BUT DON'T CALL ME A MINIMALIST, DARN IT.Kyle Chayka is a very gifted writer, and not just because he weaves together a lot of threads -- blending topics and themes together that might seem disparate -- in a completely organic, thought-provoking way; it's also because his sense of humor is subtly on every page -- by which I mean his acerbic wit. This book was a lot more fun/ny to read than I expected.I also think this book has broader appeal than those like myself who find the minimalist movement compelling / addictive / gross / fascinating. Also, this book is a thousand times more interesting and well-written than the books on minimalism that inspired it (understatement).tldr: Highly recommend.
