From award-winning sustainability expert Ashley Piper, a smart, practical guide to taking back control of your time, consumerism, and financial and mental health.
For about two years, Ashley Piper challenged herself not to buy anything new. In the process, she eliminated her debt, reduced the clutter in her home, achieved her goals, and became healthier and happier than ever — all things she always wanted to do but “never had time for” (because she was aimlessly surfing the Internet, shopping,You spend money and live in a state of stress).
After a decade of refinement and development, Nothing New guides readers through the same simple, revolutionary challenge that has helped thousands of participants around the world find freedom and fulfillment in just thirty days.The book examines the rise of what Piper calls “contingent consumerism” and how it is stealthily taking over our time, money, and mental energy, as well as harming the planet. Then, readers follow practical, customizable daily steps that make it easier for them to live a richer, less stressful life, without sacrificing style, comfort or enjoyment.
Whether you're a true shopaholic or someone who just wants to buy less and live more, No New Things is the antidote to modern burnout.
