Summary

"Simple Living" challenges readers to break free from the work-obsessed culture and rediscover a fulfilling life. This thought-provoking book explores the psychology of overwork, societal pressures driving work obsession, and strategies for reclaiming balance. It traces the evolution of work culture from the industrial revolution to the digital age, examining how technological advancements have blurred the lines between work and personal life.

 
The book argues that our fixation on productivity comes at the expense of personal fulfillment and relationships. It offers a comprehensive guide to achieving greater happiness by reframing our relationship with work and prioritizing life experiences. Drawing on psychological studies, sociological research, and personal anecdotes, the book provides practical strategies for setting boundaries, cultivating meaningful relationships, and fostering personal growth.

 
Its holistic approach encourages readers to reimagine their connection to work and productivity, rather than simply advocating for working less. While primarily aimed at working professionals struggling with work-life balance, "Simple Living" offers valuable insights for anyone seeking a more fulfilling life.

 
The book addresses ongoing debates about work culture, including four-day workweeks and universal basic income, positioning itself at the forefront of contemporary discourse on work and life in the 21st century.
Available since: 10/01/2024.

    The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project). 
 
Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed. 
 
Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation. 
 
At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation. 
 
The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room! 
 
“Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living
