More About the Author
Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This book features 366 essays penned from a woman's perspective. Sample topics include gratitude, harmony, self-nurturing, positive body image, the importance of scented linen closets, and many others. Each essay sports a pithy quote from (surprise!) the likes of Kahlil Gibran. Viewed uncritically, it's hard to argue with Simple Abundance's earnest admonitions to appreciate life, in all its messy imperfect excellence. And the fact that serenity and happiness are each in dreadfully short supply can excuse some of the treacly writing. But Breathnach sometimes lapses into what can only be described as her "Martha Stewart on Prozac" voice, and the results are aggravating to the extreme: "if you've been hesitant to strike up a reciprocal relationship with your guardian angel, don't be". (What on earth can you do for your guardian angel?) Being acid is so unattractive ... and shooting fish in a barrel besides. Read these feel-good essays every morning with the rising sun, a cup of mint tea, and a bluebird chirping on your windowsill, and you'll be happy

Format:Paperback
Simple Abundance is a beautiful book, which can be dipped into at any time of the year. I received it as a birthday gift, and have since gone on to buy it for others. It puts the basics of life into focus, and makes you realise that life is as hard as you make it. There are many thoughts and ideas which guide you through the difficult times. It also makes you look at what is truly important in your life, and helps to dispense with the unimportant stuff. Simple Abundance opens your eyes to the simple beauty of life,which is to be found in family, friends and nature.

Format:Paperback
Simple Abundance is a sourcebook of how to get back to your "authetic self," the girl you were at 10 who had strong likes and dislikes, was not overly influenced by the opinions of others and had dreams for her future. The author, through daily "meditations" offers a path by which you can become more introspective and develop grace and serenity in your life. It deals with all kinds of areas of stress in our lives: our homes, our families, our appearances. She is tremendously revealing about herself, which is reassuring. She is also quite charming and offers plenty of food for thought. This book really can change your life if you are at the point where you are ready to get in control and allow yourself to be open to all of the richness already present in your world. By doing so, you can create the environment to which more abundance flows.

Format:Paperback
A very helpful book for those seeking a greater insight into themselves and the world. However, in places this book concentrates on the 'ideal American way of life' so can be a bit off-putting. Rather than sticking rigidly to the day to day structure of the book, I would suggest skipping the bits of homemade apple pie and lemonade on the porch and just extract what you find useful.
