Discover how to create a better life for yourself through voluntary simplicity—rushing less, working less, and spending less.
“Stressed out? Overworked? Spending too much, or just concerned about the effect of your lifestyle on the environment? Buy (or borrow) The Circle of Simplicity now. Spend the next few hours reading it, preferably in your neighborhood café (in true Cecile Andrews style). It is an eloquent, passionate, well-written, funny book. I couldn’t put it down.” —Juliet Schor, author of The Overworked American
For a growing number of people, simplicity has been a path to experience the joy in life, to cherish its richness and vitality. It strips away the burdens of our daily lives so that we are left with exhilaration, spirit and fullness. These people are finding that less—less work, less rushing, less debt—is more—more time with family and friends, more time with community, more time with nature, and more time to develop a meaningful and compelling spirituality.
In The Circle of Simplicity: Return to the Good Life, author Cecile Andrews helps you discover and create the good life for yourself. She is renowned for her workshops on voluntary simplicity and her seminars on creating simplicity circles, where people explore their own life stories and share information and knowledge, helping one another develop lives of simplicity and satisfaction. The circles not only give people the tools to change, but they also fill unmet needs for community and intimacy and the desire to search for truth in the company of kindred spirits.
“What a fine book. Cecile’s passion—for people, for lifelong learning, and for creating a better world—makes The Circle of Simplicity a powerful manual for exploration and change. It’s practical and personal, challenging yet simple.” —Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin, coauthors of Your Money or Your Life
