By Eric Athas Verified
| 89.1 KANW-FM
From TV commercials to our social media feeds, we’re being bombarded with new things to consume, from a new phone to new clothes, even a viral croissant at a new bakery. Author Eric Athas wants to help us be more mindful of our purchases so they align with our personal values. He’s written “Saying No to New: Why New Things are Stealing Your Time, Money, and Happiness – and How to Take Back Your Life.” Athas is an editor at The New York Times and has also worked for NPR and the Washington Post.
