Simplify

How can we live more simply, learn to appreciate what we have and root our way of being in the Earth we have inherited? By living simply and becoming an Earth Warrior. As life keeps urging us to go faster, many of us are moving in the opposite direction… we are looking for SLOWNESS, for stillness, to live more natural, less complex lives.

Bob Hillary spent a year living off grid, an experience that taught him how to live simply. This meant downscaling, re-wilding, un-teching and finding and doing things that are free. These philosophies provided a framework for the 21 practices he shares in this book. They range from letting stillness be your friend to learning to say ‘no’ and practising gratitude, and they offer fun and practical ways for you to start making simple living part of your everyday life.

Bob also looks at the crucial process of self-healing, which needs to take place so that you can fully embrace the book’s closing section on action – how best to take the simple living message out into the world. This is a manual for modern times, teaching us how to be Earth Warriors and live in a more joyful, positive, meaningfully and above all simple way. It is guide to creating positive action, to walking the right path and making the right choices.
