Yes it is! My partner and I did a no-buy year in 2018 and it was a life-shift for sure. Her memoir was an interesting revisit of that experience although the book was a lot more of a personal growth journey with family issues and quitting drinking, etc. A good reminder that life can really change when you make different decisions.
