Så bra! Inte bara om att prylbanta utan också personliga reflektioner om varför hon shoppar/shoppat. Och hur lite en kan klara sig på!

Biografier
In her late twenties, Cait Flanders found herself stuck in the consumerism cycle that grips so many of us: earn more, buy more, want more, rinse, repeat. Even after she worked her way out of nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, her old habits took hold again. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy-only keeping her from meeting her goals-she decided to set herself a challenge: she would not shop for an entire year.
The Year of Less documents Cait's life for twelve months during which she bought only consumables: groceries, toiletries, gas for her car. Along the way, she challenged herself to consume less of many other things besides shopping. She decluttered her apartment and got rid of 70 percent of her belongings; learned how to fix things rather than throw them away; researched the zero waste movement; and completed a television ban. At every stage, she learned that the less she consumed, the more fulfilled she felt.
Blending Cait's compelling story with inspiring insight and practical guidance, The Year of Less will leave you questioning what you're holding on to in your own life-and, quite possibly, lead you to find your own path of less.

The perfect mix of real hands-on advice and a true story to back it up on how tp make such changes. Honest and revealing, it proves how change can be done, but that it is never easy.

Mycket tänkvärd att testa. Denna bok är mycket bra som kan få dig förstå no buy year på en djupare nivå.

It’s ok, I guess. It felt more like a biography than the tool to help with saving money I was hoping for. I don’t understand or relate much at all to this person. Everything useful or similar to what I was hoping for could be found summarized in the last 20 min of the book.
