November 19th, 2004 - Choosing Simplicity by Linda Breen Pierce
Back in the late 80s or early 90s, Linda was just like me–starting to read about voluntary simplicity. And, like me, she wanted to read about real people living these lives. Unlike me, she found very few of them. So she started up The Pierce Simplicity Study, a 3-year study involving surveys and inperson interviews of 211 people who had simpler lives. They ranged from people who had always done it to people who had given up high powered careers. From people homesteading to people living in the city. All kinds of simplicity and all kinds of people. The book is their stories. I love this book.
The Simplicity Resource Guide is her website. She also wrote a second book, Simplicity Lessons: A 12-Step Guide to Living Simply.
