The 100 Thing Challenge: How I Got Rid of Almost Everything, Remade My Life, and Regained My Soul
“Reading this will lead you to a better life.”
—Dean Nelson, author of God Hides in Plain Sight
In The 100 Thing Challenge Dave Bruno relates how he remade his life and regained his soul by getting rid of almost everything. But The 100 Thing Challenge is more than just the story of how one man started a movement to unhook himself from consumerism by winnowing his life’s possessions down to 100 things in one year. It’s also an inspiring, invigorating guide to how we all can begin to live simpler, more meaningful lives.

A Challenge for the Heart
By Michele Corbett - December 28, 2010Dave Bruno hit the nail on the heart with his personal story of coming to a point where he felt so stuck in stuff that he had to take action. Although his "action" could be viewed as a bit extreme (I don't know if I could reduce my clothes alone to 100 things), there is something in here for everyone. Reading about the process he went through in his own head and heart is so much more valuable than your normal self help book that merely gives you steps to follow with no context and no recognition that it's not as easy as a few simple steps.
Dave takes you on a journey of self discovery, and his insight along the way will inspire and challenge any reader. Even if you don't ever do anything as extreme as the 100 Thing Challenge, you will take away some principles that will change the course of your life for the better.
Unique premise but underwhelming content
By T. Tuan - January 10, 2011I really wanted to like this book more than I did. A recent convert to minimalism and fairly familiar with the new wave of bloggers that have publicized the value of living simply (Everett Bogue, Colin Wright, etc), I was interested in hearing the perspective of the man that started it all with the 100 thing challenge.
In this book Dave Bruno chronicles his experience weaning down his personal possessions and living with 100 things for the duration of a year. An exercise in changing the mindset of consumerism, he weaves personal anecdotes both from childhood and during his adulthood in with his account of trying to get out of the mindset of buying.
I agree with his notion that Americans have fallen into the trap of thinking that one can buy happiness and fulfill long-held and dreams or aspirations through a cash register. I appreciated his insights about how the most beneficial thing he gained through the challenge was not feeling the pressure or inclination... read more
Journey to Simplify
By E. G. Morgan "EGM" - December 28, 2010This is a great book. I devoured this book in one sitting. At times I felt like Dave Bruno was inside my head. There are so many parallels with our journey to simplicity and minimalism.
It all hit home in Chapter 13 - "My Almost Perfect Wednesday". I have experienced a day similar where the stars aligned and everything was "perfect". I want more of these days and I think simplicity and minimalism is one of the keys.
This is a very well written book. An enjoyable read. I have been very encouraged.
