The Circle of Simplicity: Return to the Good Life

About this book

Simplicity is in; according to the Trends Research Institute 15% of Americas 77 million baby boomers will have joined the movement by the end of the decade. Inwardly rich and outwardly simple voluntary simplicity is both a reaction and an antidote to the spiritually void harried and materialistic lifestyle that pervades our culture. In Seattle the mecca of the movement Cecile Andrews is renowned for her workshops on voluntary simplicity and her seminars on creating simplicity circles (groups dedicated to pursuing simplicity in their own lives). In The Circle of Simplicity she explains how instead of working to exhaustion we should focus on our creativity participate in community life and be more concerned about the planet. In the end simplicity means different things to different people. For some it means changing careers; for others its deciding to walk to work. Regardless of how we adopt the principles of simplicity Andrews asserts we will be able to live a more satisfying rewarding existence.
