Most of us have lives that are as cluttered with unwanted obligations as
our attics are cluttered with things. The bigger-is-better idea that
triggered the explosion of McMansions has spilled over to give us
McLives–leaving us with chaotic, overcommitted schedules and no time to
do what we want to do.
In The Not So Big Life, architect Sarah Susanka expands
her revolutionary philosophy on inhabiting space to show us how to
better inhabit our lives. Through simple exercises and inspiring
stories, Susanka reveals that all we need to do is make small shifts in
our day–subtle movements that open our minds as if we were opening
windows to let in fresh air. The result: We quickly discover that we
have all the space and time we need for the things in our lives that
really matter. These small changes can yield great rewards. In her
elegant, clear style, Susanka convinces us that less is truly more–much
more (from
the Amazon.com description of book).
Series was led by the Rev. Marilyn Baldwin.
