The Simple Living Guide: A Sourcebook for Less Stressful, More Joyful Living

"This is my favorite book in the world! Is that sacrilegious? That I'm a Christian and didn't say the Bible? tee hee. Anyway, I love that it describes simplicity in all the different catagories- clutter, housing, finances, etc. Simplicity is multi-faceted and the more I embrace it the happier I am. Also, I grew up learning about Henry David Thoreau, but this book helped me to understand him as a philosopher I really admire. "

"The author spends too many pages chatting and not enough giving solid advice. The entire gist of the book could be boiled down to one-tenth its current size. Don't buy this book, borrow it."

"I love this book because it said it all. We have different views about simplicity & these are only guidelines not rules written in stone.
Saving is important because in this country, a lot of people are up to neck about debt, really it is hard to make ends meet, whether one is single or married w/ children. A lot of books are in sync w/ this book like , Richard Foster's " Freedom of Simplicity" or Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach. They are also must read. It will really help make a life lighter if we are only content w/ what is basic."

"After reading this book, you will see that you are nothing but an economic slave to the multitudes of businesses who clamor for your dollar each day of each year.

This work shows you how to have more for less and how to have more money while having more at the same time.

Simplify, streamline and downsize and refine your needs is the hallmark of this work. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SUFFER AND DO WITHOUT you just have to revise how you **DO**

My wife brought me this book after she had read it and it changed my entire viewpoint on how we should do things.

After banging our heads against an impenetrable wall to "keep up with the Jonses" and exhausting years of hard earned savings, it was simply time to do something else.

This book illuminated the way for us.

It is an easy read that can be done very quickly. It will show you some things and give you some ideas that may have never occurred to you.

Of course, if you are still caught up in the rat race and live it, then you certianly are not ready for this book.

If you have BEEN in the rat race and have had your measure of success and find that it simply is not enough because you STILL DON'T HAVE ENOUGH then

YOU ARE READY FOR THIS BOOK."
