The Joy Of Less

With Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Joy of Less, spring cleaning takes on a whole new meaning. Youll read stories about people who found happiness in an unlikely way: by saying no. No to buying more stuff, no to taking on additional time–filling commitments, and no to trying to please everyone all of the time. In this book youll also meet people who have found contentment in simplicity by spending time with their family during “staycations.” Youll also read about people who cut out some of the everyday stressors in life by simply “unplugging” by turning off their smartphones and staying away from the Internet for a day. Its amazing what a little break can do. Youll even meet people who lost almost everything, but found happiness rediscovering who they really are and turning catastrophe into opportunity. When forced to simplify because the going gets tough, the tough get creative and find ways to flourish. Whether its cleaning out your closets and holding a yard sale or taking a stand for your wellbeing by keeping time to yourself, there are a hundred different ways to find joy in less.
