Written and read by award-winning sustainability expert Ashlee Piper comes this witty, no-nonsense guide to regaining control over your time, consumerist impulses, and financial and mental wellness.

For nearly two years, Ashlee Piper challenged herself to buy nothing new. And in the process, she got out of debt, cut clutter, crushed her goals, and became healthier and happier than ever—all the things she’d always wanted to do but ā€œnever had time toā€ (because she was mindlessly scrolling, shopping, spending, and stressing). After a decade of fine-tuning, No New Things guides readers through the same revolutionarily simple challenge that has helped thousands of global participants find freedom and fulfillment in just thirty days.

The audiobook follows the rise of what Piper calls ā€œconditioned consumerismā€ and how it sneakily hijacks our time, money, and mental bandwidth, as well as harms the planet. From there, listeners follow customizable daily action items that bring about the ease and richness of a life less bogged down by spending and stuff, without compromising on style, convenience, or fun.

Whether you’re a bona fide shopaholic or someone who just wants to buy less and live more, No New Things is the antidote to modern overwhelm.

A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

Reviews

ā€œAs a borderline hoarder, No New Things is just what the doctor ordered. This book is transformational.ā€
—Katie Couric

ā€œHaving left the world of marketing, Piper reveals the addictive consumer loop we can be lost in, while reminding us of our potential for real happiness beyond the materialistic treadmill. No New Things calls on us to examine what drives our unending stream of desires while upholding the happiness we are capable of.ā€
—Sharon Salzberg, author of Real Change and Real Life
