Acerca de esta escucha
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.

Historia
We all follow our own path in life. At least, that's what we're told. In reality, many of us either do what is expected of us, or follow the invisible but well-worn paths that lead to what is culturally acceptable. For some, those paths are fine - even great. But they leave some of us feeling disconnected from ourselves and what we really want. When that discomfort finally outweighs the fear of trying something new, we're ready to opt out.

Historia
Fumio Sasaki is not an enlightened minimalism expert or organizing guru like Marie Kondo - he's just a regular guy who was stressed out and constantly comparing himself to others, until one day he decided to change his life by saying goodbye to everything he didn't absolutely need. The effects were remarkable: Sasaki gained true freedom, new focus, and a real sense of gratitude for everything around him.

Your best intentions are not enough. Learn how to scientifically engineer a disciplined existence, become relentless, and never give up.

Every principle is scientifically-driven and dissected to as be actionable and helpful as possible. You'll learn how top performers consistently exercise self-discipline, as well as what drives us on an instinctual, psychological level to act.

What I did not enjoy at all was the author's way of reading or speech. She was very monotone throughout the whole book. It's like she doesn't know how to use an exclamation point or if she does she doesn't know how to read one. At the end she ended her name with a question, Cait?
I liked this book but didn't love it.
kinda middle of the road
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
The first half of the story, I found myself nodding along and then embarrassed to admit her buying habits sounded a LOT like my own. The middle lagged a bit as she dove more into her family’s challenges, but because it’s such a short audiobook it didn’t diminish my enjoyment.
Overall the story felt somewhat disjointed, bouncing between thoughts and anecdotal retellings, but I can’t be sure if that’s because of the audiobook format or if the actual book would’ve had a similar issue.
Further, I could tell in her performance that Cait isn’t a professional narrator, but she made up for that with some emotion(s) that threatened to burst forth during some of the touching moments.
I wish I would’ve had this to read 10 years ago when I was in my mid-20s, more as a warning to set me up for financial success... but truth be told I probably wouldn’t have listened to the advice then, anyway. I’m glad to have heard her story now that I’m ready to face the facts. If you’re looking for the Self-Help angle and want a how-to guide, skip to the end for that content. It’s quite helpful (and approachable)!
