Literature Live - Cecile Andrews, Author of "Less Is More"

A Village Books Literature Live event, co-sponsored by Transition Whatcom.

When we have too much, we savor nothing. When we choose less, we regain our life and can think and feel deeply. Throughout history wise people have argued that we need to live more simply – that only by limiting outer wealth can we have inner wealth. Less is More is a compelling collection of essays by people who have been writing about Simplicity for decades –including Bill McKibben, Duane Elgin, Juliet Schor, Ernest Callenbach, John de Graaf, and more. They bring us a new vision of Less: less stuff, less work, less stress, less debt. A life with Less becomes a life of More: more time, more satisfaction, more balance, more security.

Cecile Andrews is the author of Circle of Simplicity and Slow is Beautiful and cofounder of Phinney EcoVillage, in Seattle.. She has her doctorate in education from Stanford.
