Review

"Thank you, Linda Pierce - you've given us another eminently useful and readable book. Each lesson provides sound data for the mind, inviting reflections for the soul and a range of practical exercises perfect for the simplicity "toe dipper" and "full-body jumper" alike. The lessons also integrate the small steps we can take on our own with the long-term public policy changes that might afford everyone a more balanced, humane and meaning-rich life. While each suggestion is do-able and practical, taken together this book shows how revolutionary simplicity really is." -- Vicki Robin, coauthor, Your Money or Your Life

"For anyone who is really serious about simplifying, here is your essential book; an inspirational, step-by-step guide to liberation!" -- Janet Luhrs, author of The Simple Living Guide
