In the Age of Disposables-fashion, phones, glasses, and even friends!-some peopl
e are finding joy by rediscovering the simple life. They're cleaning house, both
literally and figuratively, and finding themselves better for it. By getting ri
d of excess "stuff" and trimming down their over-filled schedules, they feel hap
pier and more fulfilled than ever before. It's really true that little can go a
long way.
With Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Joy of Less, spring cleaning ta
kes on a whole new meaning. You'll read stories about people who found happiness
in an unlikely way: by saying no. No to buying more stuff, no to taking on addi
tional time-filling commitments, and no to trying to please everyone all of the
time.
