Excellent advice

This book is just what the world needs to hear. A simpler lifestyle has done me and my family a world of good and I highly recommend it to anyone who is in need of decompressing their life and reconnecting with themselves. Well done!

Lots of practical, easy-to-implement advice!

This is truly a book for the times! With layoffs happening across the country, what better time to take stock of your family life? Christine Klein shows how to make the most of what you have -- financially and emotionally. In the process, you may just find -- as I did -- that you already have almost everything you need. You'll definitely feel empowered after reading this book!

Great Book!

I really enjoyed this book. Not only was it a good read, but it was filled with great ideas! It's so easy to get caught up in material things. This book brought back how family and family time is what's really important. Thanks Chris!
