THE SCHOOL OF LIFE A SIMPLER LIFE A GUIDE TO GR...

"The modern world can be a complicated  frenzied and noisy place  filled with too many options
products  ideas and opinions. That explains why what many of us long for is simplicity: a life
that can be more pared down  peaceful and focused on the essentials. But finding simplicity is
not always easy  it isn't just a case of emptying out our closets or trimming back commitments
in our diaries. True simplicity requires that we understand the roots of our distractions - and
develop a canny respect for the stubborn reasons why things can grow complex and overwhelming.
This book is a guide to the simpler lives we crave and deserve. It considers how we might
achieve simplicity across a range of areas: our relationships  social lives  work routines and
our approaches to possessions and media. Along the way  we learn about Zen Buddhism  modernist
architecture  monasteries  psychoanalysis  and why we probably don't need more than three good
friends or a few treasured belongings. It isn't enough that our lives should look simple  they
need to be simple from the inside. This book takes a psychological approach  guiding us towards
less contorted hearts and minds. It suggests that once we truly know who we are and what we
want  we will be able to live with far less than we currently believe we need. We have for too
long been drowning in excess and clutter from a confusion about our aspirations  A Simpler Life
helps us tune out the static and focus on what properly matters to us"--Publisher's
