Simplify your life

Discover the inspiring and timeless bestseller that offers a conscious alternative to consumer culture. According to the author, "Joy is not in things, it is in us, and I hold to the belief that the causes of our present unrest, of this contagious discontent spreading everywhere, are in us at least as much as in exterior conditions." The book also emphasizes that "If there are people at once rich and content, be assured that they are content because they know how to be so, not because they are rich."

The spirit of simplicity is a great magician, softening asperities, bridging chasms, and drawing together hands and hearts. It takes infinite forms in the world, but it never seems more admirable than when it shows itself across the fatal barriers of position, interest, or prejudice, overcoming the greatest obstacles and allowing those whom everything seems to separate to understand one another, esteem one another, and love one another. This is the true social cement that goes into the building of a people.
