Live Simply, Live Well, Make a Difference

We’re bombarded with messages about happiness, but after accumulating stuff and working long hours, some end up exhausted and broke. Sarah van Gelder and her colleagues at YES! Magazine have explored real happiness for eighteen years. They offer fascinating research, essays, and personal stories by visionaries like Annie Leonard, Matthieu Ricard, and Vandana Shiva, showing that real well-being comes from supportive relationships, thriving communities, contributing opportunities, and a thriving natural world. This book provides creative and practical ways to cultivate a nurturing, enduring, and life-affirming happiness.
