Inner Simple-Mindedness: Unclutter Your Life and Empty Your Head in 50 Easy Steps

by Robert Fass, Mary Morse

"Inner Simple-Mindedness has the potential to do to the self-help field what AIDS did for the sexual revolution and bring it to a halt. Every self-proclaimed, advice-giving guru will be trying to buy this book before you do, so they can hide it.  Not only do Fass and Morse turn the art of giving advice inside out, they bend it out of shape. For those tired of books offering magical ways to reduce stress we must salute these authors, who aren't afraid to make us laugh."

  - Hal Sirowitz, author of Mother Said and My Therapist Said

Go Simple!
In this wickedly funny spoof of the simple living movement, co-authors Robert Fass and Mary Morse skewer the national obsession with all things simple. You'll laugh out loud at their twisted take on the simplicity books, magazines, and gurus that promise modern humans an easy escape from psychic and lifestyle overload. In more than 50 brief, easy-to-read entries, Inner Simple-Mindedness tackles the complexities of modern life and then provides solutions that are at once absurd and perfectly logical.
This spiritual masterwork will guide you past all of the annoyances (job, family, friends, etc.) that currently distract you. At home, at work, in relationships and more, the teachings of Inner Simple-Mindedness will help you truly simplify your life.

If you've had enough of Oprah, Martha, hot yoga and Tuesdays with Morrie, you'll agree... Inner Simple-Mindedness is simply hilarious!
