Considering job, housework and childcare, women work roughly
fifteen hours more each week than men.
A
Woman's Guide to a Simpler Life
is a thoughtful and eloquently written primer that shows women how to set
limits and clear their minds and closets to create space for what is truly
valuable: work, home, family, friendships and traditions. Dr. Van Steenhouse
identifies three key obstacles to simplification: the fear of appearing selfish,
the tug of internal resistance, and the trap of perfectionism. Pointing out the
perils of modern living, she shows us that we don't have to be slaves to
technology; we can pull the plug to give ourselves space.
