My Life in Three Boxes

•Minimalism and sustainability for all readers of the “Das Happiness Projekt” and “Magic Cleaning”

•Trending topic of experienced minimalism told personally for the first time

•Best-selling author who advocates environmental politics

Anne Weiss had a wardrobe full of chic clothes and an expensive flat in a city centre location full of luxury items – everything that she could finally afford after years climbing the career ladder. She was proud of it but when she lost her job, she questioned everything that she had previously believed. For what had she been breaking her back? What is the good life? And where amongst all this stuff is her real self? And above all, what is all this consumerism actually doing to our world? The more she sorted out, gave away and got rid of in keeping with the rules of sustainability, the lighter she felt. Today her belongings fit into three boxes - and she notices that she has not only gained greater freedom but also space: for everything that she really likes to do and for the people that she loves.

Anne Weiss

Anne Weiss has written several bestselling books. In 2008, together with her co-author Stefan Bonner, she wrote Generation Doof, which became a top bestseller and whose title has become synonymous for a generation shaped by excess and media consumption. In Generation Weltuntergang, the duo addressed the issue of climate change. The author’s most recent book: Mein Leben in drei Kisten will be published in December 2019. It is a personal account of her life as a minimalist and describes how she radically decimated her worldly goods according to all rules of sustainability. Alongside her own book project, she regularly works as a ghost writer and also writes for Spiegel Online and other magazines. Ann-Kathrin Schwarz lives and works in Berlin. She is involved with Animal Equality and is a founder of the group Writers for Future.
