Pretty good advice, beautifully narrated

This story is compelling, at times alienating, but overall, comforting. I feel like I have been given some useful tools to combat my addiction going forward. The narrator did an excellent job, and kept an upbeat tone.

Everything we all know... but all need to be reminded of!

This book is a good read and good reminder. Challenge yourself! I’m ready to challenge myself!

Inspiring

Great content! Very nicely narrated! This book has given me a new goal for my life. Goes very well with beginning a minimalist lifestyle.

i wish i had returned it

her voice becomes very monotonous and what she says is a mix of marie condo meets every shopoholics anonymous counselling book.

I’m going to do this!

I have different reasons. We downsized too quickly we moved everything with us to a 1/2 size smaller home over night & I couldn’t have a yard sale. But this home needed things too. Now I have even more! I already had more than my container could hold & I kept on. Now I’m getting rid of & clearing out & yes not spending. Shopping my closets plural !

Compelling and motivating

This author has a compelling backstory that helped me to understand how important a no buy year can be. She is motivating and gives simple steps for achieving a no buy year. She also discusses possible pitfalls and how to navigate them well. I would have given this a five star review except parts of her book read like an ad for her coaching services which was a bit wearying. But, overall the book is interesting and helpful.

Interesting

I enjoyed hearing her story and suggestions. I think I need to do a couple rounds of purging, as it is then clearer what can be let go with less “pain”. I’d like to see an accompanying list of specific resources from which to get free items, which she only generally mentions at one point. (And I disagree that hair color is a necessity 😂, but if it makes you feel good, and it’s not replacing nourishing your body, great! ;-) )

Fantastic book

Wonderful book help me immensely. Honest she was brief and right to the point which is what I need. I'm starting february first and will succeed. I thank you so much.

Simple and easy to digest

Writing style is simple. Easy-to-follow instructions. In addition, the narrator's voice is very lively and personal, unlike other narrators who simply say out the books.

Okay

Narrator was great, the book was okay, it didn't really provide much information that I didn't know already. Also gave too much leniency, the no-buy year isn't really a no-buy year. I would have liked more information on how to go about this, where to go to get free food, how to sell things, etc.
