Accessible, informative and anecdotal book about slower living and sustainability. Jam packed with recipes, resources and tips, this book is a great introduction to slower living and the different ways in which we can all implement this way of life into our daily lives. Absolutely loved this.

May as well just be called a year in the life of Kate Humble.

I liked the writing but I was expecting something different… I thought it’d be more of an actual year-long experiment. I did love the final sentence of the book though, ‘A simple life is not one devoid of pleasures, but one that makes time for them’. Overall I found it a bit slow-going & didn’t get many tips for my own life. Sorry!

Good premise (live simply without being silly about it) but the lack of self-awareness was frustrating and made her experimentation seem hollow.
