Make Life Simple

by Andrew Gibson

Have you ever wanted a simpler life? Simpler relationships with partners, families, friends or at work? When you are stuck, would you like to find a simple and effective way to move forward? Would you like things to be different? Or to make a difference for others? Following on from the acclaimed 'What's Your URP?', Andrew Gibson combines elements of storytelling, networking, social capital, and a host of useful tools to help you take control of your life. The methods he shares will reduce the time and money you spend on unnecessary complexities, help you look for the simple and effective next steps, and make more of a difference for yourself and your network. This book will change the way you look at life. You will spend more time looking outwards at how you help others, and in turn, you will build a supportive network that will help you. You will spend less time worrying about what others think, and more time noticing the positives and the differences you and others are making. After you have read this book, you will enjoy a fresh perspective, and perhaps even a new path. Every journey starts with a small step, and this book will help you every step of the way.

‘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.

The snippets of real life examples of how to implement the techniques made it much easier to understand. I read it in one sitting so it was a good quick read.
