Christine Platt

Read the first 50 pages and lightly skimmed the rest. Platt's own journey to minimalism - a habit of spending to keep up with others, or to impress others, or to make up for the amount of time spent at work - was so far from my own that I got impatient with some of the preliminaries (and her slightly odd habit of quoting herself). For someone whose journey aligns more with Platt's, this would be a great book.
