With the grace of Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Gift from the Sea and the wisdom of M. Scott Peck's The Road Less Traveled, Simple Abundance is a book of 366 evocative essays-one for every day of your year-written for women who wish to live by their own lights. In the past a woman's spirituality has been separated from her lifestyle. Simple Abundance shows you how your daily life can be an expression of your authentic self ... as you choose the tastiest vegetables from your garden, search for treasures at flea markets, establish a sacred space in your home for meditation, and follow the rhythm of the seasons and the year. Here, for the first time, the mystical alchemy of style and Spirit is celebrated. Every day, your own true path leads you to a happier, more fulfilling and contented way of life-the state of grace known as... Embrace its gentle lessons, savor its sublime common sense, dare to live its passionate truth, and share its extraordinary and exhilarating gift with every woman you encounter: the authentic self is the Soul made visible.

Encourages Materialism, Coddling Ones Self

Reviewed in Canada on March 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

I am only on March 7th and I will persevere and finish, having given up around this same place before, back in 2005. Some good insights into recognizing what rings your bell, lifts you up, etc. However, I have instructions to complete projects and buy things that will all make me "feel good". Example. Buy a toybox, fill it with toys you like, and hide it in your closet. Example 2. Fill a drawer with presents for yourself to open when you're sad. Example. Stop saying you don't have time to do the projects in this book, because you couldn't possibly be busy doing things you love already - you're a woman, so you must be putting yourself second to everyone else if you don't have time to do your Simple Abundance homework. Meh. I kinda love my life of yoga and a great job and reading fiction and going for walks, etc. Sorry, Sarah Ban Breathnach, that I don't have time to go and buy myself stuff just in case I get sad, or that I am not spending time gazing at myself in an imaginary mirror, imagining I'm Audrey Hepburn. I don't feel "deprived" by missing out on these activities. But maybe I'm kidding myself - lol. Hopefully all will be revealed by December 31st.

A great way to start the day

Reviewed in Canada on June 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

I enjoy reading each new entry in this book over my morning cup of coffee. Gives me something to reflect on during the day. Some of the entries are eye-roll inducing, but many have truly given me pause and food for thought throughout my day. I've found myself going back to re-read some over and over again. This book was recommended to me by a friend and I'm very glad I took the chance to find a copy!

Learning good stuff from this book. Good reflections about how to deal with our daily live: there is even beauty in the mundane. I was not ready for this book when it was first gifted to me. I'm now so happy with it - I ordered one for my mom.

pure joy and nothing more

Reviewed in Canada on April 13, 2018

There's a reason why this book has been around for a long time. The truth it speaks never fades. The title simply means, 'less is more' and with that my review is very simple and that is...pure joy and nothing more.

Love the simplicity and main message of this book!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is pure joy to read. The daily messages in it serve as reminders to simplify our lives and see beauty in little things surrounding us. There are also doable steps towards becoming a happy, fulfilled person. I wish I'd come across it decades ago when it first came out. It's quite amazing that what I come across these days in terms of personal/spiritual development could have been learned so long ago. The great advantage of this book is that the author is focused on the message and the reader, not her own ego. Highly recommended!
