I was disappointed in this book. I didn't even read the last few chapters- just skimmed through them. The author quotes her own song lyrics (she's a songwriter) or other people's books on just about every other page. The back cover promises tips for leading a more simple life, but she mostly rambles about her own move to the country from the city... not much of that could be applied to my own life.

Enjoyed this book by Claire Cloninger.

This was a fairly good book, with Biblical insights woven in and real-life stories and quotes throughout. I didn't find it overly helpful, as most of the tips/ideas contained about simplicity are in the nature of my personality anyway, but I did take a page of notes and came away with some new things to ponder and apply. I do think someone who has a more extroverted personality than I do and tends to run at a higher speed through life might find this book more life-improving than I did.

Insights into how we complicate our lives and great ideas for embracing and practicing a simpler lifestyle. I will be re-reading this and using the study that is included in the back of the book. Love the authors realistic outlooks and sweet spirit.

First book on simplifying ones' lifestyle that I've read, that actually applies to various people in various stages of life. Highly recommended.

Subtitled "The Quiet Beauty Of Simple Living". A wonderful book for our stress-filled, too busy, tech-obsessed age.
