J.D. from Get Rich Slowly did a review of two books about voluntary simplicity. The second book, Live Simple: Radical Tactics to Reduce the Clutter, Complexity, and Costs of Your Life: offered practical tips on how to do this realistically. J.D. recommended it, so I gave it a shot and started reading.I was reading over the first section and I have to say that this e-book is fantastic. It opens up with wonderful real-life examples of people who are not in complete control of their time and place. I related to many of the scenarios John December presented. It’s very well organized and if you wanted a printed copy of the book, it’s only $4 in PDF format or $14 as a soft cover book. Readers who are comfortable using the site can get this valuable material for free. Please check out the ebook and let the author know if you benefited from it. I’m giving it a go this weekend and I’ll email him my results.
