    "description": "Now more than ever, we live in a society where we covet new and shiny things. Not only has consumption risen dramatically over the last 60 years, but we are damaging the environment at the same time. That is why buying quality and why Tara Button\u2019s Buy Me Once brand has such popular appeal.\nTara Button has become a champion of a lifestyle called \u2018mindful curation\u2019 \u2013 a way of living in which we carefully choose each object in our lives, making sure we have the best, most classic, most pleasing and longest lasting \u2013 kettles, desks, pots & pans, scissors, coats and dresses, instead of surrounding ourselves with throwaway stuff and appliances with built-in obsolescence. Tara advocates a life that celebrates what lasts, what is classic and what really suits a person.\n\nThere are 10 steps to master mindful curation and each is explained in this book, from understanding and using techniques to freeing yourself from external manipulations. Finding your purpose and priorities and identifying your core tastes and style. Learning how to let go of the superfluous and how to make wise choices going forwards.\n\nMindful curation is a lifestyle choice that will make you happier, healthier and more fulfilled spiritual as well as helping save the planet.",
