Finding your Walden : how to strive less, simplify more, and embrace what matters most / Jen Tota McGivney.

Summary:

"Henry David Thoreau wasn't actually a loner in a cabin. He lived during a time much like ours, with rapidly changing technology, constant interruptions, and a pandemic that spread a mysterious lung disease. Thoreau, like us, reassessed his priorities, and inspired by his philosophies, this self-help meets choose your own adventure is both practical (those bills aren't going anywhere) and idealistic (let's be more happy than busy). Thoreau reminds us that cost and value aren't the same, that we should focus less on saving time and more on spending it well" -- Provided by publisher.
