Simplify your life

Simplify your life: 100 ways to slow down and enjoy the things that really matter / Elaine St. James 238 pgs.

I picked up a copy of this off our sale shelf and am glad that I did.  Although a few of these suggestions are funny because they are a bit dated (get rid of your car phone), all of the principles apply.  Elaine and her husband decided to "right size" and simplify and have never been happier.  In several places, she really shows how complications feed off each other...If your house is too big, you can no longer clean it yourself so you get a cleaning service and then you have to schedule them and pay them. You have now cluttered your life in a new way.  If you had a smaller house and less stuff, you could just do it yourself.  As a tribute to the author, I'm donating this book back to the library.  I really need to avoid the clutter.
