When I heard that Courtney Carver, the founder of Project 333, was writing an e-book, I was eager to read it. She was kind enough to give me a sneak peek of Simple Ways to Be More with Less, and I’m excited to share my review with you. The first element of the book that attracts me to it is the tone. As a reader of Courtney’s blog, I’ve come to expect a certain voice in her writing, the voice of a wise friend who wants to share her ideas and discoveries. That tone informs her book as well; it is never preachy, but always gentle and encouraging.
Courtney outlines meaningful changes that are simple to make, but have, in her life, had complex, wonderful effects.Her focus is on the entirety of life, and how simple changes can ripple out shift not only your life, but that of your family as well. If you’ve been considering slowing down, living more deliberately, this book will inspire you. Interspersed with Courtney’s ideas are essays from her mentors, including Leo Babauta, Tammy Stroebel, and Joshua Becker among others.
Some of the changes Courtney suggests reflect how I’m already living life, and I’ve already begun integrating several others.More than anything, I enjoyed this book for the peacefulness it suggests as a right way of living. Why not give it a try?
makes me want to sneak a peek at the bookstore and maybe buy a copy if I like IT!
