THE 100 THING CHALLENGE is not only the story of how one ordinary man started a movement to unhook himself from consumerism by winnowing his lifes possesions down to 100 things in one year, its an inspiring, invigorating look at how we all can begin to live simpler, more meaningful lives.

In 2008, average American family man Dave Bruno decided to unhook himself from the intravenous drip of consumerism that fueled his life by winnowing all his personal possessions down to just 100 things. Little did he realize that he would be igniting a grassroots movement-soon after Dave embarked on his journey, media around the world took notice and others started to follow his lead. A cause for pause, The 100 Thing Challenge is a response to the culture of materialism in America, one that has filled our lives with the constant and unsatisfactory desire for ''more.'' Dave Bruno offers compelling anecdotes and practical advice to help students live more meaningfully, simply by casting off the unnecessary ''stuff'' that clutters their lives. ''In a loving, wise, sometimes hilarious manner, Dave Bruno holds a mirror up to us and says to take a closer look at how we''re living. Reading this will lead you to a better life.''-Dean Nelson, Author of God Hides in Plain Sight and director of the journalism program at Point Loma Nazarene University

[Bruno's] musings about his slow and steady purge have developed a cult following online, inspiring others [toward] clutter-free living.
