Christine Platt, author of “Less Is Liberation: Finding Freedom from a Life of Overwhelm,” will lead a book club-style discussion at Vroman’s Bookstore on Tuesday, February 10, at 7 p.m.
“This event will be Book Club style, and we invite attendees into the discussion,” according to the bookstore’s promotional materials.
Platt, known as “The Afrominimalist” and author of “The Afrominimalist’s Guide to Living with Less,” focuses her latest work on what she describes as the “interconnectedness of overwhelm and our overall wellbeing.”
The book grew from personal experience.
“For years, the constant pursuit of success silently wreaked havoc on Christine Platt’s happiness and health,” the book description notes. Her solution: “She decided to use the same intentional living strategy that helped her reduce overconsumption: choose less.”
The book’s message spans four areas: “We do not have to have so many things—we can choose less. We do not have to have so many obligations—we can choose less. We do not have to have so many priorities—we can choose less. We do not have to have so many relationships that feel transactional—we can choose less.”
“Less Is Liberation” is an invitation to pause and begin the beautiful work of choosing ourselves over the profit and pleasure of others,” the description states.
Vroman’s is offering a special gift for attendees who purchase both of Platt’s books.
