Vital Simplicity

Vital Simplicity

“From the cradle to the grave … the [wo]man of modern times struggles through a maze of endless complication.”

Although Charles Wagner penned these words over 125 years ago, they are more true today than ever before. On today’s show author Suzanne Johnson modernizes Wagner’s tenets of simple living for twenty-first century existence.

 

Here’s a preview of the Wagner-isms we are revisiting today:

[7:30] We suffer the consequences of a too artificial life

[11:30] The more goods a woman has, the more she wants

[18:00] Pleasure cannot be bought or sold

[24:00] Obscurity is not a sign of disgrace

[30:00] The realm of silence is vaster than the realm of noise

[41:00] Simplicity is a state of mind

[19:00] Stop assuming that products on store shelves are safe! (And other advice for listeners who feel they have too much on their plate to worry about microscopic amounts of chemicals.)

[24:00] “It’s definitely not easy, but it’s also not that hard.” Here’s how Dr. Swan avoids plastic in her own life

[32:00] Hormone disrupting chemicals are in EVERYthing. How to identify which lifestyle swaps actually move the needle and which are just noise
