Book Reviews of Simple Living: The Path to Joy and Freedom
Book Review: Simply Great
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a simple but great book that will inspire you to change your life for the better. Jose Hobday preaches that less is more: She suggests taking the clutter and rush out of your life and giving yourself more space and time, thereby opening you to other people, beauty and spirituality. It is not about deprivation. But forces you to look at what you really need, use and what's important to you. It asks you to look at the quality of material things in your life, not just the quantity. After reading this book, I was inspired to do two seemingly different things. First, I went through my home and office, giving things away to people who could use them. Second, I ordered a very expensive hand made bamboo fly rod-because fly fishing is important to me and the rod represents a simple useful tool made by skilled human hands from natural materials. Clearly, the first activity was the most important, but clearing away things left me with breathing space to focus on something important to me.
