The Power of Simplicity is a softcover book including a foreword, acknowledgements, introduction and an author biography. It is organized in the following chapters:
Chapter 1: Imagine the possibilities of simplicity Chapter 2: Tackling the physical side of simplicity Chapter 3: Confronting the emotional side of simplicity Chapter 4: The Power of pause Chapter 5: Taking inventory Chapter 6: See it, say it, believe it…And it will come Chapter 7: Dealing with procrastination…NOW! Chapter 8: Take time to make time Chapter 9: So many choices…not enough time Chapter 10: Speaking simply…
When I began reading this book I was struck by a profound statement made by Patty in the introduction. She says "The issue is that as human beings, we tend to allow life to be difficult. Unfortunately, we are not alien creatures that would be satisfied with just the basics of survival: air, water, food, and shelter." Human beings complicate their lives endlessly and then find themselves trapped in overwhelm, depression and physical complaints triggered by their inability to make good choices.
You no longer have to be trapped. The Power of Simplicity will teach you that everything boils down to a choice. Patty defines choice as:
CHOICE
Contemplate Having Only If Considered Essential
In addition to choice Patty defines clutter as nothing more than unmade decisions. Don't think that Patty drops these bombs and then walks out the door leaving you dumbstruck. She sticks by you throughout the book giving you concrete examples of making better choices and simplifying life the easy way. She teaches you how to make life more enjoyable not only for yourself but also for your family, your friends and your co-workers.
If you are overbooked, under stress, disorganized and at the breaking point then you need to read The Power of Simplicity. Think of Patty as your friend and this book as a step-by-step instruction manual for living a healthier and more simple life.
