The Year of Less 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.The challenge became a lifeline when, in the
course of the year, Cait found herself in situations that turned
her life upside down. In the face of hardship, she realized why she
had always turned to shopping, alcohol, and food-and what it had
cost her. Unable to reach for any of her usual vices, she changed
habits she'd spent years perfecting and discovered what truly
mattered to her.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.
