‘In our modern world we have moved away from this principle. As a society, we have embraced complexity and seem to take pride in finding complex solutions to complex problems.’

Make Life Simple (MLS) is a solution-focused approach to life, whether it’s giving presentations, raising your children, looking after your mental or physical health, or helping people. MLS advises us to look for noticeable differences instead of jumping into actions, to save time and really take stock of what we want in life.

Solution-focused practice may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but some of its principles have helped me assess what’s valuable in life and what’s most important in some big decisions, which have given me the confidence to see things from a helpful angle.

I’d recommend this book to anybody who needs a new angle on anything that’s time consuming, complex, and important – and that covers a lot of life. The advice is heartfelt and trustworthy. Will it get ‘results’? It’ll get you happier and more manageable results, and I can speak from personal experience.
