BRAND NEW Bk w/ poss. subtle ding/s ('Read More' just below gives details). 100% Satis. Guaranteed! Fast Shipping. DETAILS: This book is brand new returned from a bookstore with ... clean, crisp pages. In fact, typically, it still has that wonderful new book smell, but note there may be a small imperfection such as a little cover crease or light scuffing or a store sticker on back. Often there is no ding or the ding is so small you can still give it as a gift. We just cannot promise it is gift quality every time, as we tend to have multiple copies and we cannot catalog and describe each ding (or lack thereof). ALSO PLS NOTE SERVICE MATTERS: We stand by our name and offer an iron-clad 100% satisfaction guarantee. We ship right away, respond quickly to inquiries, and treat our customers like we want to be treated: politely, friendly and eager to please! Read more Show Less

Overview

Live More, Want Less give readers a user-friendly non-judgmental approach to simplifying their lives in a week-at-a-time format. Offering personal narratives, a reflection on a Taoist-inspired "way" toward more meaning, and a list of daily practices that bring tangible change, Live More, Want Less provides universal guidelines for every reader's unique issue. Covering themes like shopping addictions, procrastination, prioritizing, "busyness", weight loss, and more, Mary's "been there, done that" approach reassures the tentative that greater clarity can be gained by voluntarily living with less, and that de-cluttering both physically and mentally can allow one to experience life more fully.

    Timely and relevant!

    I can't think of a better book to start the new year with!! I'm am thoroughly enjoying every word, reminding me along the journey, that while it's easy to get derailed by our societies entrapments, that all in life that is worth amassing is not at all tangible. That it is only the relationships, knowledge and experiences that hold any true meaning.

    I don't think I'll shelve this book, but rather keep it on my desk for quick reference whenever distracted from "living more."

    This is a must read for anything wanting the best out of life

    I got this book from the libary and found that I MUST have a copy of my own to read whenever I want. It's a book that you can read through or pick up and put down whenever. I plan to read a chapter per day until the information gets stuck in my brain. This book is more than just a "organizing" book....way more.
