Nothing's Too Small to Make a Difference is the companion volume to the PBS series, Simple Living with Wanda Urbanska. In chapters covering time, money, work, the environment, child rearing, community life, health and food, and spiritual growth, the authors offer proven, practical advice on how to simplify and improve life. Not idle dreamers but the owners of a small business themselves, not iconoclasts but proud Americans who believe it's possible to work within the system, Urbanska and Levering point the way toward a future in which community, family, and health can reclaim their rightful positions alongside money as the pillars of life.
