Synopsis

Looking for peace and happiness? Slow Living, is your guide on how to slow down your life and live peacefully. Helena Woods, author and creator of popular YouTube channel Simple Joys, reveals the wisdom she has learned by moving abroad from the US and living a slower life in France. With beautiful prose, she provides inspiration and guidance to create a simple living environment wherever you are.

Slow Living is for anyone looking to simplify life. Personal growth books for women tend to leave out men and children, but this book was intentionally crafted with everyone in mind! If you're looking for how to improve yourself and how to get into simple living, then this is the guide for you! For many, a slow European lifestyle seems out of reach, but with the direction in this book, listeners are able to craft this lifestyle for themselves anywhere, anytime.

You'll find: ways to value quiet moments, which bring simple joys to your life; how slow living takes root when less becomes more in your home; a guide on how to simplify your everyday life for mental clarity; and how to create routines that enrich your mind and feed your soul. If you like books for homebodies or if you enjoyed Slow, Essentialism, or Simple Pleasures, you'll love Slow Living.

The first half of this book was 5 stars for me. Once she started getting into meditation and your "inner self," I felt like it got a little repetitive and contradictory. But oh man...that first half.
