Award-winning author and minimalist Christine Platt guides us through the process of letting go and living with less — with authenticity and purpose.

In an age where purchases are only a click away, it's hard to keep track of our possessions and remain mindful consumers.

From Black Friday discounts and Christmas bargains to online shopping, we never seem to have enough stuff, and advertisers know it.

Minimalist aesthetics, although tempting in their simplicity, often seem to follow the same boring color palettes and expensive decor.

Christina Platt is an author, African studies expert, and former lawyer who has founded her own brand of minimalism.

In The Afrominimalist's Guide to Living with Less, Platt shares her journey from clutter and mindless consumption to authentic minimalism and explains how everyone can stay true to themselves and learn to value what really matters.
