Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
There is a movement afoot these days, fired by the increasing speed and complexity of modern lives, that reflects a cultural yearning for some kind of voluntary simplicity. While there are many books that take on one or another aspect of simplifying one's life, Luhrs, the founder and publisher of Simple Living Journal, has assembled a big book that covers nearly all the bases: time management, families, money management, work, clutter and gardening. Living simply does not translate to being poor, but rather, making the wisest and most efficient use of time and resources to live a richer, more satisfying life, lower the stress in your life and your family's, and allow your time and money and energy to work for you instead of the reverse. Reading this book will change your life. --Mark A. Hetts
Amazon.com
Janet Luhrs provides a thoughtful and practical guide to simplifying our busy lives. Luhrs stresses that living simply is not about being frugal, living on a tight budget, or a modest income. Rather, living simply is being fully aware of what you're doing and why you're doing it. Luhrs demonstrates through many real-life examples how you can redesign your life and learn to savor every moment.

As I turned the corner into my fifties I realized that I really did not want to or need to strive as much to have more junk. I was also on a trendmill of buy, send,buy send and buy send some more. This book has really centered me and made me realize that I had better wake up if I want anything positive to be there for my retirement. I may be a little on the late side. The book seems to focus on a younger more educated cliential, and this is my big beef. I am a well paid blue collar worker. I cannot get a sabbatical nor can I just up and leave for the great outback. The reality of it is that most of us are "stuck" in one way or another and are not as talented or educated as the people that Luhr's interviewed for the book. The plus side of the book are the many tips and constant self talk that can help one realize that we do have some choices and even if we do have good paying dead end jobs we can change in many ways to improve our lives.

Kudos to Ms. Luhr for writing this book. She places a strong emphasis on emotional and spiritual values and how they tie into one's finances. I especially appreciated Ch. 11, which goes into detail about alternative housing. She even profiles a woman who built a house for $4000. Which would you rather have, a simple, modest, but paid off house or a 30-year mortgage that straps you into a lousy job for the next 30 years? It's something to ponder, at any rate.
She shows the readers that they do, in fact, have options to blindly pursuing the "American Dream" or is it the American Nightmare? If the whole world consumed at the rate of us Americans, we'd need 4 planet earths to support all the consumption.
She shows us that it is possible to scale down and be completely at peace with the world and ourselves. Less can indeed be more, far more.

In this wonderful, inspiring book, Janet Luhrs provides myriad ideas for and insight into how simplifying your life can help you shift gears or even start over from scratch. The book offers loads of practical advice about how to implement changes in your life and escape the cycle of work, consumption, debt, and stress.
The author states at the outset that the book provides a variety of options for those interested in simplifying. Some of these options--like living off the grid or on a boat--will appeal to only a small number of people. However, the great stories from real people's lives do make you think about your job, house, and possessions and how you could streamline. Most of the suggestions (e.g., improving eating and exercising habits and better managing money and time) can be implemented by anyone.
I recently read Elaine St. James's Living the Simple Life and found it wanting and often impractical--foregoing sunglasses and wearing only three colors of clothing are not helpful suggestions to me! This book also focuses solely on the changes St. James and her husband made, with little mention of the wide spectrum of alternative approaches.
Luhrs's book differs by providing a vast array of resources, in addition to using life stories to outline approaches that folks have successfully employed to create more time, less stress, and more joy in their lives.
Buy this book and take from it the inspiration to help you realize who you really are!

Thought provoking.. take what you want from it.
