The Year of Less

I almost did not read this because:
1. I have read multiple books on the same subject already
2. I'm a little over bloggers who write books
3.I'm already on the simple living band wagon...I don't need to be sold on it

However, Cait Flanders sucked me in the with the whole sobriety thing. 29 years old and sworn off alcohol-now that might be an interesting story! Also, I was super interested in reading about daily life in Canada (not that I wanted her to get sick, but I would have loved to see what it was like to go to the doctor). So, all of that was new and refreshing.

Honestly, Flanders' writing style reminded me very much of Marie Kondo's. She's very organized and very hyper-aware of her self. It scares me a bit-that amount of focus. One wonders if what we are seeing here is a trade in of binge drinking and binge shopping for binge tracking of material possessions and budget line items. shrug I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on tv. I've always been a fan of moderation.

I'm also a little bummed there was very little mention of using the library and looking around for free events to attend in town.
