Rating:
Summary: Compelling and meaningful, Simpler Living is a great read!
Review: I found myself drawn into Simpler Living, Compassionate Life from the first words of the foreword by Bill McKibben. Reading this book helped me examine areas of my life that I didn't even know needed another look. It began a process of enrichment for me that I know will last forever.

Summary: Book not so simple to read
Review: I had a hard time reading this book and gave up after only a few chapters. After the first 2 chapters, I wondered if the author was only going to keep telling me all that was wrong with society. Once I decided to stop reading, my life became much simpler.

Summary: Enlightening and Essential
Review: This book has become very close to my heart, as it has opened up for me a whole new world of understanding. Living in a very "me-based" society, we are not accustomed to thinking of how our choices affect others. This book shows us the impact of over-consumption, and directs us toward a path of living that is more simple, balanced and compassionate. It's the perfect book for those who want to embrace a simpler life, but aren't sure where to begin. It's also great for those who have heard about voluntary simplicity, but desire more understanding of its concepts. I highly recommend it.
