The Big Book of Less: Finding joy in living lighter

It's always been about getting a bit more. At the greengrocer's when we bought a two-pound bag of Granny Smiths and they rounded up to the nearest apple. At the bakery when we asked for a dozen bagels and came home with fifteen. Or when we ordered a pound of cheese at the counter and got that extra piece because it was near the end.

Sometimes our lives seemed to simply revolve around getting 'a bit more'.  Until one day, the realization struck that it wasn't making us happy. More important, it was starting to be disappointing. What good did it all do?

7 Chapters of less

In less comes the freedom of letting go. The Big Book of Less is a thoughtful and surprising book that shows how to get there, by paring down not just the jumble of things around us, but the clutter in our heads, too. Which then makes room for more—more listening, more focus, more wisdom, more time. More life.

The book consists of 7 chapters:

• Chapter 1: Less stuff
• Chapter 2: Less information
• Chapter 3: Less remembering
• Chapter 4: Less control
• Chapter 5: Less doing
• Chapter 6: Less living large
• Chapter 7: Less judgement

Reviews

“The Big Book of Less is quite inspirational and offers a peek into a world where less is truly more and it validates that feeling many people have of wanting to let go of so much striving for more, more, more” – New Spirit Journal

“Not only is decluttering your environment important, decluttering your mind is necessary as well. I’m borderline freaking out at the most incredible Flow book just released by @workmanpub, it’s making all of my paper-loving dreams come true! This book is JAM packed with tools to help us out (think mindfulness, thoughts and lifestyle!)” – @mrsxmoran on Instagram
