From Library Journal
The popular press has recently held its magnifying glass up to what has been called the "simplicity movement." Pierce, founder of a three-year Simplicity Study that followed the lives of 211 people, takes a closer look with this book about her findings. Difficult to summarize, it is, nonetheless, an intriguing, if occasionally preachifying, treatise on the superior value of living with more integrity than money. For most collections.

Larry Roth, author of Beating the System
Choosing Simplicity is intelligent, beautifully written, and emphatically nonjudgmental.

Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D., author of Love Is Letting Go of Fear
"So many people are running through life, always in such a rush that they are rarely at peace. Many of us are searching for ways to simplify our lives. The stories in Choosing Simplicity show us how to do that. They tell us about people from every walk of life who have made the choice to simplify how they live. Some have chosen to live more simply so that they can spend more quality time with loved ones. Some are dedicating their time to helping others. Others are finding that they now have more time for spiritual studies or for pursuing writing, art, music, or other creative activities. All these men and women have stories that are inspiring, hopeful, and instructive, showing us that there really are many different pathways to greater peace and happiness."
