About the Book

Emma collaborated with Whitefox to create a new digital-first paperback edition of A Year of Nothing, which follows her quiet rebellion against the cult of doing. Over four seasons, she steps away from the noise to rediscover joy in life’s simplest pleasures, from dog borrowing and dopamine dressing to relearning how to swim and embracing a child-free life.
