Tips for Healthier, Happier and Kinder Living

Diana Beresford-Kroeger, the author of the international bestseller The Global Forest, which was beloved by readers around the world and considered a classic upon publication, offers her tips for achieving better health and peace of mind in her new book The Sweetness of a Simple Life. Mixing science with storytelling, wonderment, magic, myth and plenty of common sense, Beresford-Kroeger draws from her experience pursuing a Ph.D. in medical biochemistry and her quest to preserve the world's forests.

In this warm and wise collection of essays, Beresford-Kroeger provides a guide for living simply and well. She discusses which foods to eat and which to avoid, how to clean our homes and look after pets, and how to protect ourselves and our loved ones from illness. She emphasizes the importance of appreciating nature and provides practical wisdom by blending modern medicine with aboriginal traditions, offering an easy dose of healing.

The book is both inspiring and accessible, emphasizing a return to basics with the natural world as the touchstone, rather than an exotic religion or meditation practice. Frugality, simplicity, and pleasure are also not far behind in her advice for living a fulfilling life.
