The Story of More

More cannot be said about the need to consume less stuff in fewer words than in this crisp work. Very US-centric but is of global relevance. Fact after fact is presented by Jahren about production and consumption, often in interesting nuggets. She is upbeat about how we can overcome climate catastrophe and the sixth mass extinction and offers the mantra that we should use less and share more. There are also tips on how to do this. If the facts she presents are correct, there is little reason to justify her optimism that things will turn out well. But “positive thinking” is an American condition and Jahren cannot escape it. The Indian middle class should take a look at Hope.

Amazing and sad. Much needed reading for everyone

I feel this book should be required reading for every American. Jahren covers topics that we often do not see. She uses a great deal of research to back up her topic. For instance, she thoroughly discusses our food supply and how much gets wasted while people go hungry. I love her writing style; it is terse, no wasted words, she gets to the point. But there is often humor to make you smile. Along the way, she inserts her own life occurrences.She presents her research and information in a way that you realize you can make decisions to assist in our battle against climate change. Don’t miss reading this book! It is a life changer!

Outstanding book. Conveys a great deal of information, although to be not so long.

Dead easy to get a hold of the concepts in this book. Easy to read, difficult to comprehend what it saying in that time has run out to wait to see if the scientists are wrong.
