The Simple Life

Short and sweet, just what I needed for a weekend read and inspiring to boot. Rhonda Hertzel is living her dream as self sufficiently as she can and loving it, keeping her life simple, slow and uncluttered. I finished this little book feeling very motivated to make some changes, and after looking at her Blog it shouldn't be too hard to make a start....today!

This is a great book about transitioning to a simpler life from the perspective of someone who's actually doing it, not living in a city apartment hypothesising about it.

Content and writing style is excellent however it's let down by it's short length at only 56 pages.

Felt like there should be more, as if this were the warm up to something more then was a little disappointed to turn the page and find it's the end.

A very short (41 p.) essay on the satisfaction derived from homemaking. Well written, but lacking any how-tos--for those, see her first book, Down to Earth.
