Free E-Book - "Thriving on Less"

Leo Babauta has written a companion to his book, The Power of Less and has released it as a free ebook called “THRIVING ON LESS: Simplifying in a Tough Economy“.  If you believe that this downturn in the economy is real and is going to persist, as many do, you should also be thinking about what do you do to survive and how do you set yourself up to thrive.

I strongly believe that this economic downturn presents tremendous opportunities.  By thinking long term about how to improve ourselves, our businesses, our law practices - we'll come out of this stronger as the economy inevitably rebounds.  Judging by Babauta's website, he's thinking along the same lines and has some good practical suggestions for managing the expenditure side by simplifying and prioritizing.

Mr. Babauta's suggestions are not necessarily geared toward law firms or businesses.  It is more about personal habits.  He sees rampant consumerism as the root of much of our recent economic issues.  His suggestions are not earth-shaking or origianal.  They are, however, common sense and while often obvious, are nonetheless areas where we all could likely improve our lives.

From the introduction:

The recent economic recession has a lot of people worried, about their jobs, their businesses, their homes and their bills. When your income is dropping or in jeopardy and you still have a mountain of bills to pay, things can get pretty scary.

However, tough economic times do not have to be a time of struggles! If you look for the opportunity in the middle of difficulty, as Mr. Einstein suggested, then tough economic times become an opportunity to transform your life.
