Book: The Sweetness of a Simple Life, by Diana Beresford-Kroeger (Essays)

Paperback, 358 pages, published 2015. This copy is gently loved, still in good pre-owned condition. There are a couple of creases on the spine (see pics) but the binding is still okay--the book hasn't yet cracked. Some cosmetic wear on the cover. No writing or highlighting. "Beresford-Kroeger mixes science with storytelling, wonderment, magic, myth--and plenty of common sense--to give us tips and advice for achieving better health and peace of mind with frugality and simplicity. After pursuing a Ph.D. in medical biochemistry, she set out on a quest to preserve the world's forests. In this warm and wise collection of essays, she gives us a guide for living simply and well: which foods to eat and which to avoid; how to clean our homes and look after pets; how we can protect ourselves and our loved ones from illness; and why we need to appreciate nature. She provides an easy dose of healing and practical wisdom, blending modern medicine with aboriginal traditions. This inspiring, accessible book emphasizes back-to-basics, with the touchstone being the natural world around us. You may know Beresford-Kroger from her internationally-bestselling and much-loved book The Global Forest." There's lovely prose here, and Beresford-Kroeger has a kind, thoughtful, and engaging voice. 🌿 🌸 🍃 ✨
