"If you've ever felt there must be more to life than consumerism
and its vicious cycle, you'll find inspiration to break free in The
Year of Less. Cait's highly readable and personal story is
encouraging, challenging, and unbelievably helpful."
-- Joshua Becker, author of The More of Less "Cait Flanders is a
brave woman. As I read, I cried. But my heart also brimmed with
joy. For anyone who doesn't think they can, Cait's story shows that
it doesn't matter where you start, only where you go from
there."
-- Gail Vaz-Oxlade, host of Til Debt Do Us Part and author of
Debt-Free Forever "Cait's audacious goal--a yearlong shopping
ban--has sparked a deeply personal book full of lessons for all of
us on finding more fulfillment and meaning in our lives (without
all the stuff!). A game-changing read for anyone searching for
simplicity in our consumer-focused world."
-- Rachel Jonat, author of The Joy of Doing Nothing "The Year of
Less is beautiful, vulnerable, and real. Cait's words inspired me
to be braver in my writing and life, and I'm sure it will inspire
you too."
-- Tammy Strobel, author of Everyday Adventures Journal and You Can
Buy Happiness (and It's Cheap) "Minimizing belongings in my life
cleared space for so much goodness to fill the space stuff once
did. Cait's The Year of Less is inspiring . . . a powerful example
of how transformative downsizing possessions can be, and how you
can take it to the next level."
-- Katie Dalebout, author of Let It Out "Cait comforted herself
with alcohol, binge eating, and compulsive shopping, then finally
said, 'Enough is enough.' This isn't another book about how to live
with less, but instead a heartbreaking and then a heartwarming
story that shows us if we are willing to let go of the things we
think we need, we can have a life we really want."
-- Courtney Carver, author of Soulful Simplicity "Creating
meaningful change in your life takes significant time and effort,
and in this book Cait shares a deeply intimate view into just how
substantial that change can be. If you're looking for inspiration
and practical examples of how to take steps toward a better future
for yourself and the people you love, The Year of Less will give
you that and so much more."
-- Anthony Ongaro, founder of breakthetwitch.com "This book is such
a gift. A gift for anyone who's ever wanted to change but has been
afraid--afraid to fail, afraid of what we might discover about
ourselves as we strip back the layers, and afraid of what will
happen if we don't. Cait writes beautifully and honestly about the
work of creating a life with less, and gives you permission to step
off the ever-revolving carousel of compulsive and mindless
consumption and into the goodness that lies on the other side."
-- Brooke McAlary, host of The Slow Home Podcast author of
Destination Simple "An inspiring story of how one woman overcame
the obstacles of addiction--to shopping, alcohol, and food--to
create a purpose-driven life. You will walk away ready to change
your life and with an understanding of why embracing less will set
you free."
-- Elizabeth Willard Thames, author of Meet the Frugalwoods
