Philosophie der Einfachheit

How do we get back to the basics? The return to the simple life is a trend on everyone's lips. People have a desire for orientation along this path because they want to counteract the hectic pace, stress and chaos of the modern world. But more and more people are also concerned about the future of our planet and are therefore striving for a mindful approach to themselves and the environment. But what is so revolutionary about a simple life? What is it about "back to simplicity" that fascinates us so much? And why do we nevertheless so often fail to make our lives really consistently simpler? This book offers a philosophy of simple living, bringing together authentic statements and approaches from significant people and movements: from Henry David Thoreau to Steve Jobs, from the cynics to the consumer critics of our day. Written in an elegant and easy-to-read style, this book is an inspiration for anyone who wants to make their lives simpler in a sustainable way. And it offers important arguments for convincing others, too, that real simplicity is simply better.
