Nice thing is, there are elements in this book that most simply living declutter books do not addess (aside from Voluntary Simplicity by Duane Elgin) like preparing for death or planning for obstacles. This is where the adage "hope for the best, plan for the worst" becomes a reality lesson. And the "Do a trial run" where Ms Hicks reminds the reader of the big value of laying out the items you need for cooking, putting together toys or furniture etc, and reading ALL the directions as well as visualizing realistically what the finished item or project. And the value of doing good research before jumping into any project. That so many people become discouraged and easily give up when they are not fully informed and prepared.
I also love her suggestion besides lists, of writing life goals, monthly and weekly goals down. I also value keeping a personal journal at the end of the day and reflecting on things done and lessons learned, because weeks, months and even years later they can be an excellent reminder of just how far I have come.
And then there are the many words of wisdom she shares from how to maximize errand time, travel time, and how not to procrastinate. How to know when to ask and accept help from others and the value of laughter and creativeness.
And of course I loved the Lao Tzu's quotes interspersed between the pages.
