The Joy of Simple Living: Over 1,500 Simple Ways to Make ... (ISBN 087596527X)

So Helpful:
This is the first book I've seen on the topic that takes a methodical look at how to simplify your life. Rather than offering aphorisms, one-a-day bits of philosophy and other airy-fairy stuff that in the end, add up to anything, this book offers concrete suggestion after concrete suggestion as to how to make things less complex. I got it as a gift, and it turned out to be a very good gift.

Immediate simplicity:
The Joy of Simple Living is easily worth the price in that you'll get tips on how to make your life simpler in almost any area of your life that you can put to work immediately. Rodale is known for doing a lot of these big books, and this one is a nice addition to the over-all line-up.

This book is wonderful!:
I give this book the highest rating because it lays out on a room by room and activity by activity basis how to simplify your life. Like the author says, you can't follow everything in the book, just those things you can do most readily. There are so many suggestions, that anybody could find benefit with this book.

Touches on each aspect of life...:
I was surprised at how many subjects this book covers. It literally touches on every aspect of life and how to simplify. This is NOT a de-cluttering book like I first suspected. In fact, it doesn't encourage you to throw out everything the way many de-cluttering books do. The book even tells you to only read the sections that apply to you, so it isn't so daunting to read. I really enjoyed all the suggestions, and the end of chapter summaries were very useful as a memory aid.
