A Life Less Throwaway
Inhaltsangabe
Now more than ever, we live in a society where we covet new and shiny things. Not only has consumption risen dramatically over the last 60 years, but we are damaging the environment at the same time. That is why buying quality and why Tara Button's Buy Me Once brand has such popular appeal.
Tara Button has become a champion of a lifestyle called 'mindful curation' - a way of living in which we carefully choose each object in our lives, making sure we have the best, most classic, most pleasing and longest lasting - kettles, desks, pots and pans, scissors, coats and dresses, instead of surrounding ourselves with throwaway stuff and appliances with built-in obsolescence. Tara advocates a life that celebrates what lasts, what is classic and what really suits a person.
There are 10 steps to master mindful curation, and each is explained in this book, from understanding and using techniques to freeing yourself from external manipulations. Finding your purpose and priorities and identifying your core tastes and style. Learning how to let go of the superfluous and how to make wise choices going forwards.
Mindful curation is a lifestyle choice that will make you happier, healthier and more fulfilled spiritually as well as helping save the planet.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Eve has a problem with clutter. Too much stuff and too easily acquired, it confronts her in every corner and on every surface in her house. When she pledges to tackle the worst offender, her horror of a "hell room", she anticipates finally being able to throw away all of the unnecessary things she can't bring herself to part with: her fifth-grade report card, dried-up art supplies, an old vinyl raincoat. But what Eve discovers isn't just old CDs and outdated clothing, but a fierce desire within herself to hold on to her identity.

Nicht nur gegen Kaufsucht
Viele Menschen kaufen Dinge, weil uns die Werbung und die sozialen Medien einreden, dass wir diese Dinge brauchen, um glücklich zu werden. Doch der Endorphinrausch nach dem Kauf ebbt schnell ab und wir stürzen uns auf das nächste Ding, das wir glauben zu brauchen. Geplante Obsoleszenz (verringerte Lebensdauer von Produkten) trägt zu dem Übel bei. Das ist nicht nur fatal für die Umwelt, es ist auch nicht gut für unser Wohlbefinden. Tara Button, Gründerin der Seite buymeonce.com verrät die Tricks der Werbeindustrie, uns zu gedankenlosem Konsum zu verführen und wo Glücklichsein wirklich herkommt. Es war für mich kaum neue Information dabei, aber dafür ist diese Information schön kompakt präsentiert und die Stimme der Autorin und Sprecherin ist sehr angenehm.
