Synopses & Reviews
Living simply doesnit require a diet of plain brown rice and a homespun shirt. This fun, engaging book shows you how simple, scientific techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral psychology can lead you to a simpler, more fulfilling life in ways that religious ideology, radical ecology, and faddish inspirational literature never could. Learn to recognize what matters most in your life, and then make intelligent choices that allow you to live in lasting balance with the world around you.
The first step in achieving your new simpler life is a thoughtful examination of your values. With these clearly in mind, find out how to prioritize the really meaningful things in your life so they get their fair share of your time and energy. The varied exercises in this book range from simple fill-in tasks to soul-searching inventories. From each, discover a new way to create much-needed balance in your life: between work and home, discipline and spontaneity, personal fulfillment and social engagement.
