Real-world help for the overloaded life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Simplify Your Life and Get More out of It! (Paperback)
I've picked up other books on simplifying your life, but they usually look terribly complicated, dealing only with the surface busyness. But Norm's book uses thought-provoking questions and exercises that really make you stop and consider your current course and your desired course, as well as practical helps to get from A to B. He breaks life down into six areas of potential clutter: pace, expectations, activities, possessions, relationships, and spiritual lives; and spends two chapters on each subject. If you know you need help in certain areas, but others are in pretty good shape, then you can use and skip chapters as necessary. The author never really says, "You should do this and stop doing this." he just asks the right questions to get you thinking about what you're doing and why, and how you might "do" life differently, all the while letting you take into consideration what works best for your personality, goals, etc. No cookie-cutter solutions here! (My only complaint: I would have liked more personal stories about the author's journey toward a simpler life. And Norm! -- you just look a little too happy on the cover!) Helpful, practical, down-to-earth. Get it, and get more out of your life.

God given steps to a simpler life,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Simplify Your Life and Get More out of It! (Paperback)
This book refreshed my energy with knowledge that our lives are unnecessarily complicated. Norman Wright clearly addresses every aspect of our much too busy existence and gives his readers easy steps for identify the excesses that rob us of the peace that God intends for each of us to experience. I recommend this book to all. Even if you think you've already got everything under control, he'll help you make your life less cluttered and have more time to think, laugh and enjoy spare time (yes, we all have time to spare!)
