Simplifying would be easy if getting rid of stress and clutter was all we sought. But we also seek success. We long to create freedom, authenticity, and meaning in our lives. But, by defining simplicity as a solution to stress and clutter, many point us toward relief not results.
Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, "I would not give a fig for the simplicity this side of complexity, but I would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity." That's where freedom, authenticity, and fulfillment lie -- on the other side of life's messiness.
Simplicity & Success, by Bruce Elkin, shows you how to integrate life and work. By shifting from solving problems to creating what matters most, Elkin takes you beyond getting rid of what you don't want. He shows you how to bring into being what you love and truly do want to create.
With its strategic "Vicki Robin meets Phil McGraw" approach to life creating, Simplicity & Success appeals not just to simplicity seekers. It speaks to anyone -- downshifter, "Cultural Creative," retiring boomer or member of younger generations -- who yearns for a simple, rich, integrated, and fulfilling life but don't yet know how to create it.
Bruce Elkin has 20 years experience helping individuals, organizations, and businesses create what matters. In Simplicity & Success, he shows you why problem solving is a shaky foundation on which to build a life. His stories bring creating to life. He helps you develop the desire and tools to integrate values such as life and work, and simplicity and success.
Most important, by drawing on his own 25-year experiment in simple living, Bruce shows you how to sustain results -- in spite of the problems and complexity you face -- ensuring that the successful simplicity you create becomes a fulfilling and enduring way of life.
