Here is what people are saying about Simple Ways to be More with Less.
Inspiring, helpful, practical book. My favorite chapter is “less balance.” Our society is going crazy trying to find balance, and Courtney switches it around. Instead, do things you actually enjoy doing – and save balance for a yoga pose.
Melissa Gorzelanczyk of Peace & Projects
“Simple Ways to be More with Less rocked my world. The book is loaded with practical tips, tools, and advice. Courtney is open, honest and shares a wealth of information. Pick it up today. You won’t be sorry.” Tammy Strobel of Rowdy Kittens
“If you are looking for a way to jump-start change in your life and begin simplifying right now, Simple Ways to be More with Less is the perfect stepping stone. From simple food recipes and ways to reduce debt, to step-by-step action plans for reducing clutter, every page is full of helpful and inspiring material that will make you think, learn, and move into action.” Raam Dev
LOVE IT! Congratulations. Beautiful, warm, inspiring and a bit cheeky – just like the pieces on your blog but more of it to enjoy. Rachel Jonat of The Minimalist Mom

April 11, 2011 at 8:13 amI do think the title for your book is a little odd; a 7-word phrase for a book claiming to simplify lives?
Courtney Carver says
April 11, 2011 at 8:47 amThanks for your input. I think the title is a very simple, direct way to let readers know what to expect. Not to mention, all the good single word titles were taken. 😉

April 11, 2011 at 11:30 amI think the title and design are very simple and beautiful. It’s not the number of words used, but the way they are presented that makes them so simple.

April 11, 2011 at 9:21 amI will download your book but don’t have an e-reader yet. Clutter is very individual. What I percieve as clutter may not be to someone who feels comfortable surrounded by it and considers is “living” (like my husband). Personally, clutter drives me crazy. I know hiding things helps because I put away things before decorating for Christmas and then can’t remember what I put away. I heard once, that when you die, your children should be able to fill two boxes with everything you own (other than your clothes and furniture). I thought that was a wonderful example that getting older (and wiser) should involve peeling away layers of attachment to things.

The e-book is in PDF format so you don’t need an e-reader.

April 11, 2011 at 1:28 pmIt’s calm, it’s beautiful. It brings me in my mind to being in a shady spot on a beach with soft waves on a perfect late spring day. That’s how nice it is. Best of luck. I wish you only simply lovely things on this journey you have started.
The title is perfect.
Courtney Carver says
April 11, 2011 at 1:30 pmThanks Diana – for your support and for making me smile. (and for making me think about a shady spot on a beach)

April 12, 2011 at 5:47 amHi Courtney. I simply love the premise of your blog. I am a minimilist at heart, only need to be practising one. What is stopping me? Its a who actually, my dear husband. I won’t go so far as to say that he is a hoarder, still throwing stuff away is a BIG issue around our house. Nice to know atleast now I have likeminded souls to talk about that. I wholeheartedly believe in simple living and so look forward to reading more of your blog. Cheers 🙂

April 12, 2011 at 3:39 pmCourtney, I really love your book – I’m so glad I got a copy.
I’ll admit, I was pondering whether I really needed another book on simplifying. After all, I’ve not done anything with Katie Tallo’s book, or Leo’s Babauta’s Focus, or another book I got from Leo too (I can’t even remember the name). But your approach is fresh, and really simple. I particularly like Leo’s tip on doing something amazing each day. It’s great; I’m already using it! I’m the procrastinator to beat all procrastinators and you’ve managed to get me started.
Thanks Courtney 🙂
