Plain Life: On Thinking, Feeling and Deciding

By Antonia Pont

Find meaning and reduce anxiety in a complex world with a guide to plain living. These days, it's easy to get the impression that people are really very anxious. What would it mean to be able to live a plain life? Would a plain life just be an unambitious one - a drab or routine life, without colour, variation, unknowing or luck? Or would a plain life be one in which we'd fret slightly less, suspect ourselves less, and thus listen to ourselves and others in new ways?

In Plain Life, Antonia Pont questions our thinking about capacities, virtue, envy, wanting, love and kindness - suggesting that it might be fine, more than enough, indeed so much, to live a plain life. For readers interested in philosophy, self-improvement, and social commentary.
