The Day the World Stops Shopping: How Ending Consumerism Saves the Environment and Ourselves:
"This is one of the most important books I’ve read in a long time. The author does a ‘thought experiment’ where he imagines the world cutting its consumption of goods by 25%, and interviews a number of experts on the expected consequences. In the proc"

Some good stuff in here. Downsizing, getting out of debt, stopping the consumerist cycle, and the American work-all-the-time mentality. Also some incredibly tone-deaf stuff: Courtney spends a few paragraphs pressing people to learn how to ask for hel ...more | |

3.5 A good but occasionally awkward book about getting rid of your clutter. And by "clutter" the author doesn't just mean your inanimate objects but also your pets if they are giving you problems. This is really where I had to draw the line. This is t ...more |
