The Aesthetic of Simplicity: The Art of Living Well

Through a lifetime of practicing peace and environmental movements, Satish Kumar has distilled a way of life centered on simplicity. He advocates for inner and outer return to simplicity to achieve healthy soil, minds, and society, moving towards a sustainable future of spiritual fulfillment, environmental stability, and social justice. In his book, he explores the comprehensive philosophy of simplicity through material and metaphysical dimensions, elucidating the interconnectedness of practice, craftsmanship, art, activism, education, connection, relationships, love and forgiveness, deep observation, knowledge, spirituality, soil, and society. He firmly believes that a simple life is not one of deprivation, but rather its own reward. If all is well-balanced, nature will take care of humanity, and humans can continue to live well in this world with imagination, freedom, and love.
