Did you ever wonder what it might be like:

· To have some time to do what you want to do and not what you have to do?
· To sit down and relax for an hour without feeling guilty because you should be doing something else?
· To arrive fresh and early for an appointment instead of the usual 15-20 minutes late, spewing out apologies and excuses for your tardiness?
· To be able to find something the minute you need it and not weeks later after you’ve already gone out and bought a replacement?
· To welcome unexpected company any time of the day without being embarrassed?
· To enjoy the activities that you have planned because they stand out rather than blend in with the fast pace of the day?

Finally, here is a book that spells out how to achieve what you have been seeking for years—happy, stress-free, simple living.

Prepare to UNLEASH THE POWER OF SIMPLICITY and live your life on purpose!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Advice in the World, May 8, 2004

By 

Suzanne Caplan (Pittsburgh, Pa United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Power of Simplicity (Paperback)

This book along with its companion "But I Might Need it Soneday" has made a major difference in my life. I realized how I had overcomplicated everything I do by being concerned with small things and not thinking of simplicity. Patty's direct way of explaining the theory resonates and was my call to action. In the few months since I begin putting her words into action, I feel as if I have regained control of my surroundings. Highest Kudos on this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Use with a Highlighter, September 20, 2006

By 

Brenda Nixon (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Power of Simplicity (Paperback)

Get out your highlighter because Kreamer's book has some powerful "keeper" statements! The one that particularly impressed me was her definition of clutter as unmade decisions. As a decisive person, that statement became my challenge.

I read and re-read this book because it is straightforward with immediately useful strategies to simplify your life, home, or office. If you live in any type of physical or emotional clutter and chaos (or know someone who does) get this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Advice; Simply Put!, June 2, 2004

By 

Marilyn Lawrence (Monroeville, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Power of Simplicity (Paperback)

After reading "The Power of Simplicity" along with Patty's other book "But I Might Need It Someday...", I have really started to put my life in order. I am more organized and feel more at ease after heeding her advice. The book is an "easy read" so you won't spend so much time reading before you can start using her tips. I wanted to share this great advice with others so much that I bought extras to give to friends and family. Thank you Patty!!
