4.0 out of 5 stars Good Advice, March 4, 1998

By 

Dan Cuomo - See all my reviews

This review is from: Living the Simple Life (Audio Cassette)

This was a good read. I finished it in 2 hours, although I did skip some sections. The ones that I felt did not pertain to me. I'm 24 and moving out of my parents house for the first time, so this book was a valuable read for me. I intend to take many of the suggestions with me into my new life. One of the best pieces of advice in the book is the 30-day rule. If you feel the need to purchase something now, do not. Write it down, and wait. Tack the paper on your wall for 30 days or two weeks or whatever time you feel is appropriate. After the time has passed, look at the paper. If you still want the item, consider purchasing. If you've forgotten why you ever considered it, do not. The book is filled with more good advice. Read it, and pass the book on to you friends.

If we would all be able to follow these guidelines our lives would definitely be better than before. Her suggestions are simple and logical, just reading the book takes stress out of your life. I especially liked the part about dumping the Holidays!
