| simplicity p1728e: Searching for S Cynthia Schumacher, 2021-01-14 Any pig, especially a pet pig, deserves a name. This is what a seven-year-old girl named Abigail thinks when she gets a pet pig and wants a sign for its house. But Abigail soon discovers that she has to make the sign by herself using wooden letters among which the letter she needs the most is missing. Delightful illustrations and imaginative prose blend in a fanciful exploration of the world of letters for preschool and primary school-age children. |
| simplicity p1728e: The Laws of Simplicity John Maeda, 2020-09-01 Ten laws of simplicity for business, technology, and design that teach us how to need less but get more. Finally, we are learning that simplicity equals sanity. We're rebelling against technology that's too complicated, DVD players with too many menus, and software accompanied by 75-megabyte read me manuals. The iPod's clean gadgetry has made simplicity hip. But sometimes we find ourselves caught up in the simplicity paradox: we want something that's simple and easy to use, but also does all the complex things we might ever want it to do. In The Laws of Simplicity, John Maeda offers ten laws for balancing simplicity and complexity in business, technology, and design—guidelines for needing less and actually getting more. Maeda—a professor in MIT's Media Lab and a world-renowned graphic designer—explores the question of how we can redefine the notion of improved so that it doesn't always mean something more, something added on. Maeda's first law of simplicity is Reduce. It's not necessarily beneficial to add technology features just because we can. And the features that we do have must be organized (Law 2) in a sensible hierarchy so users aren't distracted by features and functions they don't need. But simplicity is not less just for the sake of less. Skip ahead to Law 9: Failure: Accept the fact that some things can never be made simple. Maeda's concise guide to simplicity in the digital age shows us how this idea can be a cornerstone of organizations and their products—how it can drive both business and technology. We can learn to simplify without sacrificing comfort and meaning, and we can achieve the balance described in Law 10. This law, which Maeda calls The One, tells us: Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful. |

| simplicity p1728e: Rational Simplicity Tim Covell, 2005 FINALLY, A SIMPLE BOOK ABOUT SIMPLICITY! Eighty-one percent of Americans agree with the statement, More and more, I am looking for ways to simplify my life. Yet in a world dominated by consumerism, most don't know where to start. Rational Simplicity offers a path. It is a program with no rules, steps or excessive paperwork. Instead, it provides a series of suggestions to help change your relationship with money. At its core, simple living is living on less than you earn. But simple living has the final goal of escaping from paid work and pursuing what is really important to you. The opposite of simple living is consumerism. Consumerism is the belief that things will make you happy. Simplicity is the acknowledgment that they will not. With rational recommendations and sensible strategies, this book encourages you to spend less time pursuing material goods and more time pursuing your dreams. |

| simplicity p1728e: Simplicity and Success Bruce Elkin, 2006-09-29 I would not give a fig for the simplicity this side of complexity, but I would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity. Oliver Wendell Holmes. Crafting a simple life would be easy if getting rid of stress and clutter was all that simplicity seekers sought, but it isn't; we alos seek success. We long to create results that matter in our lives, work, and relationships. However, by defining simplicity as a solution to life's stress and complexity, many approaches point us toward relief rather than results. Because relief is usually temporary, we often oscillate between simplicity and success without realizing either. At best, the simplicity we achieve is the simplicity on this side of complexity. Simplicity and Success: Creating the Life You Long For will help you go beyond merely getting rid of what you don't want. It will help you discover what you love and create a life that shows it. It will help you integrate conflicting desires by shifting your focus from solving problems to creating what matters. It will empower you to embrace life's complexity, appreciate its richness, and move through its often chaotic messiness to the deep, lasting and fulfilling simplicity on the other side of complexity. Driven by vision, grounded in reality, and focused on results that matter, this simple yet powerful approach will help you simplify your life, achieve the success you long for, and feel energized, authentic and whole. |

| simplicity p1728e: Simplicity Made Easy Jennifer Kavanagh, 2011-06-16 In folk history and religion, from the Shakers to Zen, simplicity has generally been considered a good thing. Our own motivation may be to leave a smaller carbon footprint, to express a compassionate solidarity with those who have least; or simply to downsize. Whatever our concern, it is likely that the motivation to live a simpler life will spring from within. At heart, simplicity is a focus on what matters. Reducing the clutter in our lives, whether in material objects, use of time or money, or in our religious practices, leads to an increased clarity of vision and a focus; a view of life and its priorities that is in itself simple. Step by step we can move towards a state in which our attitudes and life are all of a piece, integrated and made one. Simplicity is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace. With this inspiring book, discover how simplicity can become a way of life. |

| simplicity p1728e: Simplicity Bill Jensen, 2000-02 The greatest challenge that people and companies face isn't from the competition, the marketplace or anything else out there. It is from confusion within organizations. Companies have to learn how to manage the ever-increasing complexity that characterizes work for ever-increasing numbers of people. Despite ever faster and more sophisticated computer power and a decade of right-sizing and re-engineering, work still isn't getting any easier. We're all drowning in information and need better ways to organize, communicate, solve problems and make decisions. |

| simplicity p1728e: Simplicity: Essays Joshua Fields Millburn, Ryan Nicodemus, 2012-09-21 Simplicity: Essays is The Minimalists’ fifth book and second essay collection, a follow-up to their bestselling book Essential Essays. In the two years since the authors quit their six-figure corporate jobs and embraced simpler lives, they have written more than 200 essays on the subject of simple living. Simplicity: Essays serves as a “best of” collection for their most important collaborative writings. This 152-page book contains 46 edited and revised essays about living a meaningful life with less stuff, including “Getting Rid of Gifts,” “Asking Friends & Family to Embrace Change,” and “I Am Not the Center of the Universe.” It also includes a special forward by The Minimalists and two unpublished essays that can’t be found anywhere else: “Simplicity” and “The Worst Christmas Ever.” The order of the essays in this collection is deliberate; they are meant to be read in sequence from beginning to end. Doing so will result in an experience that is different from reading these essays individually throughout the web, connecting various concepts that may otherwise seem unconnected. These essays were written to encourage readers to think critically about the excess in their lives and, ultimately, to take action towards living more intentionally. This collection is short enough to be read in a few sittings, or it can be digested slowly, reading one essay a day for six weeks, applying its principals each day to your own life. |

| simplicity p1728e: Stepping Lightly Mark A. Burch, 2012-10-24 While the voluntary simplicity movement has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, it is still often stereotyped as being mainly concerned with a thrifty lifestyle.

| simplicity p1728e: The Audacity of Simplicity Timothy Boston, 2008-12 Financial strains, housing crisis, credit crunch, climate change, overconsumption, war, and a general malaise plague our world, but what do they all have in common? They are a consequence of a modern way of behaving that all too often excludes the simpler ways in life. How do we truly feel when we buy extra 'things' amidst store crowds in comparison to chatting and watching a sunset with people we love? Why are we more willing to spend time buying those lifeless objects instead of receiving a warm free hug? Have we been incorrectly programmed in some manner? How much is time sitting in a park listening to the birds really worth? What products are truly life sustaining, and what is causing us stress? How have we lost our way and why? The Audacity of Simplicity tackles these questions and more by revealing some of the very notions that defy a world of turmoil, decay, and unhappiness. It asks us to walk in strength towards a more hopeful future that redefines progress and success as personal and social well-being, environmental stewardship, relationship-building, non-material growth, inner reflection, and social capital. It envisions a caring humanity with shared emotions and a common destiny. |
| simplicity p1728e: The Gift of Simplicity Victor-Antoine D'Avila-Latourrette, 2009 Inspired by the example and words from the Master, Br. Victor-Antoine encourages readers to strive for the attitude of simplistic living expressed in the Gospels. Using lessons from Scripture, he reminds us of what can be gained by living a life less cluttered by modern distractions and petty grievances to find freedom in Christian simplicity--a simplicity that is deeply rooted in Christ. It is not often these days that we hear anyone speak about simplicity. In today's fast-paced world, this seems an almost far-fetched notion. Yet we find the concept very alive in the Scriptures, particularly in the Gospels, where it is often connected with other virtues strongly taught and recommended by Jesus, such as humility, poverty of spirit, single-mindedness, meekness, and even the gift of wisdom. The Gift of Simplicity helps move our minds beyond the realm of human thought and human reasoning; it is then when wisdom instigates in us a new way of thinking. |

Much has been written of late concerning simplicity and simple living. It is the controlling note all but drowned, yet clamouring for a bear ing, in a materialistic age. And we believe it to be a spiritual note too. Such at least we have regarded it in these chapters. The message of the Eternal is ever the same, but the language in which it is expressed varies with the type and temperament of the peo ple to whom it comes; and to an age steeped in mammonism and worship of the flesh, the evangel calling for a voice and a deliverance is that simplicity is culture; simplicity is spirituality; simplicity is power; the spir itual is the solution of everything. Back to culture then, the culture of the cross, the culture that is towards the Christ. This is the gospel for an age of unrest.
