The Abundance of Less: A Social Experiment of Not Buying Anything New for One Year

Finding the Wholeness, Community, and Meaning that Money Couldn’t Buy

Have you ever looked around your house and wondered, How did I get so much stuff? That stuff gets LOUD.

Studies have shown that excessive amounts of clutter rob us of joy, peace, and rest, giving us instead, stress and anxiety, less sleep, lowered productivity, and diminished overall wellness. And yet, we keep consuming more and more of the many things we still apparently need to be happy and whole.

In 2010, Marcy looked around her house, surrounded by all the clutter, and felt ill. She realized that they’d been stuck in a cycle of consumerism—swept into a culture of convenience without any awareness of it, and knew that something had to change. They decided as a family, that they wanted no more—more.

A More Beautiful Question: The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas

10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION * REVISED AND UPDATED

“A book everyone ought to read-without question.”-ADAM GRANT

To get better answers, we must first ask better questions. Warren Berger reveals how in this beloved guide, with hundreds of thousands of copies sold.

In his groundbreaking A More Beautiful Question, now updated throughout, innovation expert Warren Berger proves that one of the most powerful tools for spurring change is also the most under-appreciated. Questioning-deeply, imaginatively, “beautifully”-can help us identify and solve problems, come up with ideas, and pursue fresh opportunities. But in an education and business culture devised to reward rote answers, questioning isn't encouraged-and, in fact, is sometimes barely tolerated.
