Author
Daisuke Yosumi
Daisuke Yosumi began his career at Sony Music in Tokyo in 1995 and was recruited by Warner Music in 2004. He produced over ten million-selling hits and became a hitmaker, but in 2010, he let go of everything to achieve his dream of living in New Zealand. There he built a self-sufficient minimalist life with his family. Daisuke developed the art of “letting go” across three stages of his life: his difficult school years; on the corporate battlefield; and in his current life, free from the pressures of time and money. The original Japanese edition of Let Go sparked a nationwide minimalist boom. He is the president of LifestyleDesign.Camp, an online community for post-capitalist living, and the first Japanese ambassador for both Greenpeace Japan and Fairtrade Japan.
