Entertaining Read

This is one of the first self-help books that i actually found readable. In this emminently giftable book, Mr. Heinrichs obviously knows about simplicity. "Simplify, simplify said Henry David Thoureau, using twice as many words as he had to" Heinrichs' wry wit is a marvelous antedote to the sappy and rediculous matter flooding the self-help market.

this book immensely, most likely because of the references to our forefathers. Seemed fitting that a book on simple living would actually relate back to a time when simplicity was revered and a natural way of life.
Good Solid Sense

In this tome of simplicity from a Yankee-fied perspective, Mr. Heinrichs expounds on the practicalities of the simple life with plenty of good common sense. He shares the Yankee view on a variety of subjects including work habits, family ties and early rising. In addition, he peppers the text with applicable quotes from Yankee fore-fathers and mothers. (We appreciated how Mr. Heinrichs lauds Harriet Beecher Stowe as part this esteemed crowd, as non-white visionaries are not often given credit in history.) If you are interested in learning how to live a simple life with practical, wise wisdom and a dash of good humour, then pick up this book at your local library.-LiteratePlanet.com
