Kristine gave 3 stars to 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 (Hardcover) by Cait Flanders
My highlights from the book:

[When decluttering] There were really only two categories I could see: the stuff I used, and the stuff I wanted the ideal version of myself to use....There were books I thought smart Cait should read, clothes I thought professional Cait would wear, projects I thought creative Cait could tackle.

I had always been stuck in the cycle of wanting more, buying more, and then needing more money. The ban uncovered the truth, which was that when you decide to want less, you can buy less, and ultimately, need less money.

One of the greatest lessons I learned during these years is that whenever you're thinking of binging, it's usually because some part of your life feels like it's lacking-and nothing you drink, eat or buy can fix it.
