Borrowbox recommendation: A Life Less Throwaway by Tara Button
Published on 18th April 2020
Our colleague Mairead recommends A life less throwaway by Tara Button. In this easily digestable book, the author puts forth a clear and well-researched argument for living a simpler/less cluttered, and thereby more meaningful life.
Drawing from a decade’s experience of working in the advertising industry, she provides first-hand accounts and statistics which support the views presented. Moving from the individual to wider society, she outlines the economic and psychological benefits of consuming less and focusing on a deeper sense of worth and value.
With practical exercises and tips included, as well as information about independent consumer guides and the BuyMeOnce #makeitlast campaign, this book is a valuable resource for anyone wishing to get off the highly consumerist treadmill on which we live. It’s available both to read and to listen to on BorrowBox.
