The Simple Living Handbook

Like the title suggests, this is a simple book. It is refreshing in the sense that instead of telling the reader what to do, the author instead tells her own story of transitioning to a minimalist lifestyle. In fact, the book doesn't really have a strict focus, as the author talks about parenting, self-employment, hobbies, religion... Oh, the religion! It isn't stated outright in the early portions of the book, but the author is quite religious. This becomes blatantly obvious in the later chapters when there are pages upon pages about God and living to serve God. I started skimming the book at these points. Aside from that, a quick (The print is huge! 151 pages could easily have been less than 100 if it had been published in a “regular” sized font), easy read.
