The Year of Less

Author: Cait Flanders

In “The Year of Less,” Cait Flanders bares her soul, chronicling a transformative year of minimalism and self-discovery. Drowning in debt and unfulfilled, she embarks on a radical experiment: no shopping for an entire year. Through her candid, often humorous reflections, Cait reveals how shedding excess stuff led to profound personal growth. I found myself nodding along, cringing at familiar consumer pitfalls, and cheering her small victories. It’s a relatable journey that’ll make you question your own relationship with possessions and what truly matters in life.

I had spent so much of my life waiting for the future to arrive, only to find that when it did, I was still living in the past.
