When Less Becomes More: Making Space for Slow, Simple, and Good By: Emily Ley

In her newest audiobook, best-selling author and founder of Simplified Emily Ley brings a revolutionary exploration of how to live a life of more in a world that often overwhelms to the point of burnout. Emily empathizes with listeners in the throes of exhaustion and provides tools for nourishing their spirits and achieving a life where less becomes more.

Statistics don’t lie. People today are more fatigued, burned out, and overwhelmed than ever. Smartphones constantly ping and alert and demand our attention. And social media can eat up hours of our days with mindless scrolling and tapping while leaving many feeling empty and lonely. Add to that family commitments, work that is accessible around the clock, and overscheduling, and you have a life that can feel unmanageable and frantic…even running on empty.

Emily Ley, author of best-selling Grace, Not Perfection and A Simplified Life, is here to tell you that there’s more – so much more. In this audiobook, Emily Ley takes listeners on a journey out of that empty place and shows them how to fill their wells with the nourishment that only true connection can provide. She also presents some radical concepts that push against the tethers of modern life, with the promise that more of the good stuff comes when we say yes to less of what keeps us empty:

Less Rush, More Rhythm
Less Liking, More Loving
Less Noise, More Calm
Less Distraction, More Connection
Less Frenzy, More Soul Rest
Less Fake, More Real
Less Fear, More Community
Less Great, More Good
Less Chasing, More Cherishing
Less Stuff, More Treasures
Getting to more might require some outside-the-box changes, some unraveling of the patterns listeners have adopted, some reworking of the day-to-day so that they can build a life based on their core values instead of slipping into a life dictated by society or what’s “normal”. Because we weren’t made for normal. We were made for more – for a life of fullness, dreaming, and lasting joy.

Interactive journaling prompts, a recipe for applesauce muffins, and inspiration to help you continue the journey are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
