This book explores ideas around minimalism, simplicity and how to live comfortably with less,
The modern world can be a complicated, frenzied, and noisy place, filled with too many options, products, ideas and opinions, That explains why what many of us long for is simplicity: a life that can be more pared down, peaceful, and focused on the essentials,
But finding simplicity is not always easy; it isn’t just a case of emptying out our closets or trimming back commitments in our diaries, True simplicity requires that we understand the roots of our distractions – and develop a canny respect for the stubborn reasons why things can grow complex and overwhelming,
This book is a guide to the simpler lives we crave and deserve, It considers how we might achieve simplicity across a range of areas, Along the way, we learn about Zen Buddhism, modernist architecture, monasteries, psychoanalysis, and why we probably don’t need more than three good friends or a few treasured belongings,
It isn’t enough that our lives should look simple; they need to be simple from the inside, This book takes a psychological approach, guiding us towards less contorted hearts and minds, We have for too long been drowning in excess and clutter from a confusion about our aspirations; A Simpler Life helps us tune out the static and focus on what properly matters to us,
