Cecile Andrews, Less is More
Tuesday, December 1, 7pm
Village Books
1200 Eleventh Street
Bellingham

Just in time for the holidays, Cecile Andrews offers some perspective. Less is More is a compelling collection of essays by people who have been writing about Simplicity for decades –including Bill McKibben, Duane Elgin, Juliet Schor, Ernest Callenbach, John de Graaf, and more. They bring us a new vision of Less: less stuff, less work, less stress, less debt. A life with Less becomes a life of More: more time, more satisfaction, more balance, more security.
