One day Dave Bruno looked around himself and realized he spent a lot of time stuck on stuff – stuff he owned already, clutter, and stuff he was thinking about buying. Determined to nip his unhealthy consumerist behavior in the bud, Dave embarked on something he called “The 100 Thing Challenge.” He carefully chose 100 things to keep and donated, discarded, or otherwise divested himself of everything else that was nonessential. He then had to live with only 100 things for the next year. He kept a blog, which generated a lot of interest and media attention, while he was working on the Challenge, and wrote this book as a summary of his experiment. This was not quite as profound and amazing as I was hoping it would be. Dave’s challenge only applied to his own stuff – not shared things. Since he has a family (a wife and 2 daughters), there were all kinds of things that fell into the “shared” category – like most furniture, bedding, bathroom items, food, kitchen appliances, etc. He also counted all of his books as “a library,” or one thing. Others have criticized him for being inconsistent as well. It’s a bit of a disappointment to discover that Dave’s systematic pruning of his Things wasn’t really that much of a hardship for him. He didn’t have a lot of regrets over the things he purged, and his day-to-day life wasn’t really affected. There were some initial hitches in his get-a-long, but for the most part, Dave settled into his less-thingy existence without the personal crisis/meltdown readers might expect. Having to explain what he was doing to people (friends and family as well as interested strangers), however, had a profound impact on him. And having to be conscious of his possessions and knowing that he couldn’t just add to them without considering the effect of a new belonging on the whole really did make him less inclined to shop. As a result of the Challenge, Dave spent a lot less time in stores, malls, and online and more time with his family and other people, and doing *actual* things (instead of buying them). In that respect, his experiment really did change his life. The 100 Thing Challenge has inspired a lot of other people to take up similar experiments (and break the cycle of senseless, excessive consumer-spending). Even if you don’t take it to the extreme that Dave (or others) did, there’s something to be learned from living with less. Chances are, you’ll be surprised at how little you really do need in order to live a happy and fulfilling life.
