“Navigating life in 2020 means that we are coping with around five million percent more stimuli than we were just fifty years ago.”
In today’s digitalized world we are constantly switched on, scrolling and stressed, Bob Hillary made a decision to reject this way of living after it made him gravely ill. How did he cure himself? He abandoned city life and moved completely off the grid, living in a yurt in the Welsh mountains for two years. He relied completely on the produce of the land. No Internet. No telephone. No running water. Nothing.
Simplify is the result of this experience, offering advice and practices in order to ground us in these modern times. Times that demand we think and act faster, grow impatient and restless quicker. We have become careless as we care less about the world around us, causing more damage to our surroundings and ourselves.
In this book, you will discover how to combat this world with the secret of “Slow Living” – Sustainable, Local, Organic and Whole. You learn how about finding and accepting yourself away from the pressures and expectations of society, and not only envisioning a better future but creating one.
Simplify provides 21 practices to help you simplify your life. These practices range from being still for a few minutes before rushing out of bed in the morning, to learning when to say ‘no’ in your everyday life when you are feeling overwhelmed. Easy, practical advice that we can all incorporate into our daily lives.
This short, practical, and ultimately simple book is a manual for navigating modern life and making the right choices to result in a more peaceful, stable and happy way of living.
