The subtitle of this book is "My Year of Learning to Live Better with Less".  Each month, the author chooses to give up something ranging from her cell phone to multitasking.  We learn what she finds essential to what can be pared down to what can be almost completely gotten rid of.  We should all think about those things that to cut out for a month and then try it.

It's an easy read which provides us the opportunity to think about just what it is we can do without...if just for a month!
