9.5/10
This book is divided into 3 distinct sections.
Section 1 is minimalism. I give that section 10/10. I feel that we all need to buy less, and not be total consumers. The author does a great job explaining how less can be much better and gives lots of advice on how to achieve this. Maybe I should listen to this section once per year.
Section 2 is sustainability. 8/10. Again, she's preaching to the choir here. The author describes how all of our choices/purchases cost more than just the price tag. She gets a little deeper here, taking about recycling numbers and things like that, but it's all good and easy to digest. Surprisingly, this section did resonate with me quite as much as section 1, but it was still excellent!
Section 3 is self sufficiency. 6/10. Growing your own food, making your own cleaning supplies, etc. Sefarian is very specific giving exact recipes and instructions for most things. This part reads more like a textbook. I also agree strongly with this, but it's hard to make a recipe for make at home facial cream into exciting reading.
Overall I thought this book was great! I'll definitely be subscribing to her podcast. The book is full of practical ideas on how to simplify your life while living more responsibly at the same time. It is not a guilt-laden book, but rather a practical and exciting guide
