Thomas Moore (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 1997

Thomas Moore explains how any listener can adopt the fundamental skills for living a better, simpler life. Moore teaches listeners how to use the power of saying "no", harness energy for truly living in the present, find enrichment in the world, and get rid of unnecessary physical, mental, and spiritual clutter. This truly transcendent personal development guide will help listeners gain a greater perspective, clarify their values and priorities, rediscover their love of living, and ultimately take control of their lives.

Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Moore goes beyond the naive get-back-to-the-country brand of simplicity, suggesting that community--as well as technological, medical and economic progress--can play a vital role in leading a simple existence. His telling anecdotes and clear suggestions lead one to look for the spiritual in the commonplace and accept guidance from one's intuition and imagination. Moore's voice is comforting and compatible with his message. His pacing is relaxed. His humor is easy and, at times, self-deprecating. All of this creates an intimacy in Moore's delivery that draws in the listener. Pleasant New Age musical interludes complement Moore's presentation. P.B.J. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0 out of 5 stars Far from simplistic!, February 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The ART OF SIMPLICITY CASSETTE (Audio Cassette)

I found myself smiling, sighing with relief, and optimistically looking forward to tomorrow, without having to clean off my desk. The author, (and marvelous speaker) offers an enlightened view of accepting your fate and understanding your urges to change it in order to find your missing elements of happiness. I intend to replay this many times over and learn more about my life's unnecessary complications and finding joy in simplicity. For me, this work is the perfect cement to join Care of the Soul and The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life, my nightstand therepists.
