Daily Doses of Pleasure
I found the essays in Simple Abundance applicable and entertaining. I read this book in 1998 and when I missed a few days I eagerly caught up on the days I had missed. While I am not a gardener, or much of a cook, I read Sarah Ban Breatnach's essays on domesticity for their approach to life and living it to its fullest. I found the writing sentimental, poignant, humorous, and earthy. I have purchased this book as a gift for friends and have shared my copy with my mom. I am looking forward to 2000 when I will re-read this simply profound daybook.

Best book I own
I have gone back to read portions of this book more times than I can count. It always reminds me to appreciate and take care of myself when the world has me running around in circles. This is a fabulous gift for (yourself) or someone you care about that seems to be looking for answers in their life. Sarah Ban Breathnach has a humurous and "authentic" way of helping you to look at yourself in a way that you could never do on your own. How to appreciate yourself as you are now, but to never stop improving and growing. Although the book is set up to read one section per day, I read the whole thing in 2 days. It is a really mind-opener, and actually contains useful tools for everyday life.

For those with Clutter
I was recommended this book by a therapist. Because of this book, I now live a life of non-clutter. It's amazing how clutter can make you feel miserable, and you don't even know it! If you're the type of person who has so much "stuff", and would feel incredibly guilty discarding this sutff, you will learn the three questions to ask yourself as whether to keep this item or not--without feeling guilty.
This book also helps you understand how the simplist things in life can make you feel so good.
You'll be glad you read this.
