Here's a simple review of a simple book on simplicity. L'art de la Simplicité by Dominique Loreau. Written "for anyone in search for a simple and better life.”

With her straight-forward language and neatly tight sentences, the French author does a wonderful job of capturing the very essence of the old Japanese wisdom of keeping things minimal and simple.

And yes, Loreau also happens to be living in the Land of the Rising Sun herself.

Why should you read this book?

To finally realize that you’re making your life way too complicated (and that it is simply not worth it).  

What will you learn?

How with a few simple tricks you can turn your life into a Grace Kelly movie.

That you should approach discipline as a benefit to your body, mind, and spirit—and not as endless suffering or hardship.

That the best skin treatment is happiness. Hmm.

How will it make you feel?

You’ll probably want to travel to Japan right away.

Also, it's one of those rare cheesy self-help books you might actually want to buy and keep on your nightstand. If only to get reminded that life can, indeed, be quite simple.

Kindly,

Neva.
