We've all been there--too many pressures, too little time. Life starts to feel out of control. Learning to simplify our lives is much more than avoiding phone calls and trimming hectic schedules; more than cleaning closets or paring down possessions. Based on the premise that the most destructive aspect of stress is what it does to us spiritually, the author outlines eight principles--using each letter of the word SIMPLIFY--to keep us from becoming so distracted by trivial commmitments that our spiritual view is dulled. With these eight principles as a guide, we can engance our ability to choose our priorities, remain calm amidst the daily chaos of life, and focus on things that really matter.
