Summary: Written in a jargon-free, intimate, and conversational style
Review: In The Lilypad List: Seven Steps To The Simple Life, author, psychologist, and personal development expert Marian Van Eyk McCain focuses on the inner aspects of simplifying our daily lives to reveal how our inner feelings about life will guide us to decisive and effective actions. Rather than listing general prescriptions, The Lilypad List offers readers a working self-help model to assist them in discovering their own unique paths to a simpler and more fulfilling life. Written in a jargon-free, intimate, and conversational style, The Lilypad List is one of the most accessible, applicable, and down-to-earth advice books available to non-specialist general readers with an interest in adapting their lifestyles to simpler rhythms, less intrusive demands, and more rewarding satisfactions.

Summary: Simply Wonderful
Review: The Lilypad List is a perfect read for anyone in transition or longing for a simpler life. The author invites readers to look inside, evaluate their unique circumstances and desires, and make lasting change. Marian VanEyk McCain leads by example and offers reflection and practical guidance, but don't expect a one-size-fits-all guide to simplicity. I'm often disturbed by books offering the "no more lattes, throw out half your stuff, all better" solution. As The Lilypad List points out, simplicity isn't that simple! But if you are considering real, conscious change from the inside out, read this book. It's like reading the travelog of an inner journey from a caring friend who has been there.
