Features: The Simple Life series by Elena, helping people simplify their lives in various aspects. Currently, her system for simplifying life is popular in the United States and globally, becoming a trend in the new life movement. This book on simplifying life has also sold well worldwide. Through reading this book, it provides readers with some perspectives they might not have considered and offers different ways of thinking! Throughout history, wise men and women have discovered that the secret to happiness lies not in having more but in desiring less. Now is the golden time for change. You can freely give up things that do not bring you happiness, blend past experiences and lessons with a simple yet elegant lifestyle, and make it a trend of the new century. Therefore, to interpret Henry David Thoreau, make the most of this opportunity to simplify, and simplify further. And don’t forget to enjoy yourself. Simplifying life is not about taking everyone back to a primitive and backward life, nor is it about becoming lazy, bored, and idle. It’s about slowing down the fast pace of life a bit, giving us the chance to do what we love. If you’re currently overwhelmed, it’s time to change. Simplifying life will bring everything into order—your work, family life, and your own life—no longer losing balance as before. Make your life’s boat lighter, carrying only what you need: a warm home and simple joys, a couple of true friends, the people you love and who love you, a cat, a dog, and a couple of pipes. Enough to eat and wear, and plenty of water, because thirst is a dangerous thing. This is what Lighten the Boat of Life wants to tell you.
