Simplify

This sweet little book offers good advice for those who are prone to worrying, doing too much, being too plugged in, etc. I found that I already did most of the things recommended in the book, but I don't have a very traditional life for modern times. The author is likeable and the advice is likely to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by everything from social media to over-commitment to climate change. Well recommended.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

In the 21st century Britain, 2020 to be precise, the world is emphatically changing, we know this. Life it seems is moving faster than it's ever been; smartphones, emails, work, childcare, and an erratic need to 'live the best life'. SIMPLIFY offers a different take on life as we know it today, and I think it's well needed. Author / Musician Bob Hillary lives 'off-grid' having decided to quit the rat-race and in this book, Bob lists 21 practices to help us simplify our lives, the world, and in the end; humanity. It's a sobering read. Having recently ventured into the world of mindfulness meditation ourselves, a lot of this makes sense. How about digital detoxing, shamanic dancing, naturalism, foraging, saying no with intention, positivity, gratitude or simply living without materialism? It's a fantastic little handbook and in this modern world where extinction rebellion, Greta Thunberg, veganism, and the very real threat of climate change disaster, are movements that are progressing positivity, simplify does a lot of good in continuing to carry forward this message. Its a companion for the modern era, we all need to change and become warriors for a change! SIMPLIFY!
