Publisher’s Summary

In her late 20s, 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 12 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.

    gentle lessons from a wise friend

    I enjoyed hearing the author’s voice narrating her own story — she has a gentle, kind voice that was paralleled in the narrative... it was all so cohesive and genuine, as she mentions how her family lived in a smaller town where people live less busy, simpler, more focused lives, and that’s exactly the mood and atmosphere that her writing and her voice help build. Her writing style was slow and affectionately simple, and she began to feel more like a wise friend telling me stories about her life than some blogger spouting truisms and platitudes - which separates this book from any other self help book book I’ve read. It’s definitely worth a listen.

    Loved it!

    Would you listen to The Year of Less again? Why?

    I really loved it, and I will definitely be reading it again. There is so much in it that made me think about what mattered most to me, and it really made me think of where my money goes and why. I ordered the hard copy as well, I liked it so much!
