The Year of Less

How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life Is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a Store

DNF @ 39% - I would not recommend this book. A memoir about a year of decluttering and living with less. I am interested in the general idea behind the project, but a lot of the mentality behind it just doesn’t work for me or my life. I know everyone is different, and goes about their days in ways that they need to to get through their life situations... but this book was written in a perspective where everything is black and white. I find that damaging as people, places, and things can fall into the grey. We live our lives in the grey areas, and we need to be comfortable with that. We need to give ourselves and our friends grace. I think people either love or dislike this one quite a bit. For me, it wasn't what I was expecting.. and the perspective just made it not my kind of book.
