In Search of Simple

What does it take to 'live simply'? Sounds easy enough, but when we dig deeper into what drives the actions of human beings, it gets a little more complicated. What if we discovered that changing our ways could lead to more beauty and more joy than we thought possible? What if living life (simply) really is a dizzyingly splendid idea? Just think of what would happen if more of us grew carrots and felt the wind on our faces and let birdsong be the soundtrack to life.This anthology explores what it can look like to seek out slow living and embrace a life steeped in intentionality. Whether it's navigating grief to decluttering a home or habits to processing trauma, the writers in these pages have a wide variety of lived experiences and approach simple living differently-but they all end up in the same place: living the life they are made to live. You'll move from Romania to Colorado to New Zealand to Minnesota to New England to Canada with these writers, and by doing so, you'll see that there are folks in search of simple, scattered near and far. We hope this anthology inspires you to find the pace of life that sets you up to best contribute to the healing of the world.
