A Different Way: Living Simply in a Complex World: The concept of “living simply so that others may simply live” has been around for hundreds of years. People choose to live simply for many reasons and as our world changes, the motivations for and benefits of living a simple life also evolve. Today, we choose simple living as a way to make our own paths in life, paths that allow for investing our time in the things that matter most to us, making choices that create less waste and more good, using (or not using) technology intentionally, and critically examining the messages that tell us what to believe, what to value, and who to be. A Different Way: Living Simply in a Complex World connects our individual values and actions to the larger picture and helps us to find power to make real change in our lives, communities, and in the world at large.

This Discussion Course is designed to be much more than a book club; it is designed to be a guide for community building, transformative learning and life-changing action. When you break big issues into bite-sized pieces and talk through them with others, you discover insights and inspiration that are hard to find on your own. We'll learn, together. You build a personal network of shared stories and support that makes it easy to take action. In short, you become part of a community for change.
