"Whatever we treasure for ourselves separates us from others; our possessions are our limitations." --Rabindranath Tagore

Living More With Less

As she plunked down $4.20 for a Grande Mocha at the local coffee shop, Mary Carlomagno realized her life had gotten way too complicated, with too many distractions, too much stuff and too much technology. She decided it was time for some serious simplification. Each month for an entire year, Mary renounced one thing: shopping, elevators, newspapers, cell phones, dining out, television, taxis, coffee, cursing, chocolate, and multitasking. "Give It Up!" chronicles Mary's life-changing experiences and provides a commonsense blueprint for anyone looking to simplify their lives, while cherishing each moment and celebrating what really matters. Read her insights from the experiment here.
