Elizabeth Chai is a graphic designer and coffee aficionado. In her book How to Buy Essentially Nothing for a Year she tells the story of what led her to the completely unorthodox, outlandish, and incredible decision to buy nothing for an entire year. Now deep into her fifth consecutive year of Buying Essentially Nothing, she enthusiastically shares ideas, tips, and inspiration for those who would like to join the lifestyle.
Her book includes self-reflection exercises and planning activities for those interested in buying less.
