Simplicity Lessons: A 12-Step Guide to Living Simply

by Linda Breen Pierce

Simplicity Lessons is a practical guide for those who long for a slower pace of life with more time for joyful relationships, fulfilling work, and living one's dreams. This book takes simplicity to a new level. It goes beyond providing knowledge and inspiration for living more simply. Simplicity Lessons guides the reader first to reflect, and then take action on what's most important in life.

Working on your own or as part of a simplicity study group, you will explore the major areas of your life: material possessions, money, time, work, housing, transportation, relationships, inner simplicity, health, community, and environmental sustainability. You will consider not only what simplicity looks like for you as an individual, but also what we can do to create a more simplicity-friendly society.

Although this book was written in 2003 it still applies to today. This book gave me a new perspective on living simplicity as a part of life and how to take steps toward a life of enjoyment through making simple choices over time that can have a huge impact on personal simplicity and by doing that, treating our earth and our relationships with true kindness.

My favorite part of this book, which has lots to like, is the resource section at the end of each chapter. I'm finding so many more books on this new subject I am very interested in. The activity suggestions give wonderful direction, too.

From page 29: "Lifework Assignment #1: Go through your possessions ... get rid of whatever you don't need." ?? If only voluntary simplicity were so easy.
