interesting...
I agree with the other reviewers. This is perhaps the biggest waste of money, as well as the biggest waste of time I have ever spent. As far as her "lifestyle" changing once she discovered the "simple approach"... She was only able to live a more lax lifestyle because she and her husband were successful real in estate. She had basically made enough $$ to retire, and only then did she apply these techniques. This is more of a amusing handbook on how one could spend their golden years, rather then how one should/could realistically live today.

Only for enlightenment seekers...
This book changed my life. It allowed me to focus on what is truly important in life. Once I started following just a few of her easy to implement ideas, a shift on priorities occured. Most all the simplifying books available suggest such complicated things. Elaine is to the point, with great insite and full of real experience. As a reader you understand how her life changed and how to change yours. One glance at any number of ideas, and you will understand the power in this book. You read it on your own time, let it unfold as you are ready. All the suggestions are practical and potent. Only a person who has a true desire to find peace and enlightenment will appreciate this book. I have given it to several people has gifts, and watched their life change before my very eyes.

Don't waste your time or hard earned money...
This book has very little valuble suggestions, and some are, to quote another review, rediculous! The wise reader will read this book and find that it has very little practicle advice to fit any lifestyle. It is truley amazing what can get published these days. I also recommend it to nobody.
