Synopsis
When Marlene Schiwy decided to simplify her life she didn't move to the boondocks to follow Thoreau. She didn't move anywhere-she stayed in New York. And she didn't start growing organic tomatoes or keeping bees. She didn't strip down her possessions to what she could stuff into a suitcase or the trunk of her car. She didn't subscribe to any of the faddish "simpler life" gimmicks, but started by simply paying attention to what mattered most to her-to what filled a real need and what was just clutter. She took her life off automatic pilot. And kept a journal where she explored questions like - How do you balance career, family, and self? - How do you nourish body and soul and still find time for creative expression? - Can you live simply while earning a living? - Can you reconcile the complexities of modern life with your yearning for serenity? - What role does money play?
Simple Days is unique among books on simple living. It's not a how-to manual, nor a list of shortcuts to a simpler life. It helps us on our way to simplicity, not by giving us all-purpose answers to our questions, but by sharing her believable, illuminating experiences.
