When Less Becomes More

Making Space for Slow, Simple, and Good

De: Emily Ley

Narrado por: Emily Ley

Statistics don’t lie. Moms today are more fatigued, burned out, and overwhelmed than ever. Smartphones constantly ping and alert and demand our attention. And social media can eat up hours of our days with mindless scrolling and tapping while leaving many feeling empty and lonely. Add to that family commitments, work that is accessible around the clock, and overscheduling, and you have a life that can feel unmanageable and frantic...even running on empty.

Best-selling author and founder of Simplified Emily Ley shares how to live a life of more in a world that often overwhelms to the point of burnout in When Less Becomes More. Emily empathizes with mothers in the throes of exhaustion and provides tools for nourishing their spirits and achieving a life where less becomes more.

In this audiobook, Emily Ley, author of the best-selling Grace, Not Perfection and A Simplified Life, takes listeners on a journey out of that empty place and shows them how to fill their wells with the nourishment that only true connection can provide. She also presents some radical concepts that push against the tethers of modern life, with the promise that more of the good stuff comes when we say yes to less of what keeps us empty:

• Less Rush, More Rhythm
• Less Liking, More Loving
• Less Noise, More Calm
• Less Distraction, More Connection
• Less Frenzy, More Soul Rest
• Less Fake, More Real
• Less Fear, More Community
• Less Great, More Good
• Less Chasing, More Cherishing
• Less Stuff, More Treasures

Getting to more might require some outside-the-box changes, some unraveling of the patterns listeners have adopted, and some reworking of the day to day. Listeners can build a life based on their core values instead of slipping into a life dictated by society or what’s “normal”. Because we weren't made for normal. We were made for more - for a life of fullness, dreaming, and lasting joy.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reminders for a Chaotic life

I loved this book. The layout, the story, the strength. A reminder to all of us that more stuff does not equate happiness. Family, time spent making memories is where our time should be invested. Lovely read

One of my new favorites!

Spoke to my soul! This book is just what I needed in the season of motherhood I'm currently in.

Like Catching Up with a Trusted Friend

As a mom to a newborn, an early elementary student, and a college student all while also being a wife and an attorney life is often chaotic and seems always filled with “more”.

I have enjoyed Emily Ley’s other books and recently snagged my first Simplified Planner (at Walmart while rushing to grab necessities during my lunch hour on the way to nurse my newborn). Listening to the audible book was like sitting down with a trusted friend who gets this season of life that I’m in and who at points during the conversation hits the nail on the head. While I don’t need anyone’s permission to slow down and make the decision that less is more, it is comforting that someone else understands and can articulate the words that sometimes evade me.

Great reminder

I think a lot of what was said in here is known deep down but sometimes we just need people to tell us in an easily digestible way.

A true need for every woman at every part of life

This book spoke to me. Better than any other book. Emily really touched on every struggle at every point of life. A true gem and will be suggesting it to everyone.

Amazing thought provoking book 📖

A must read to all women! This is for sure THE BEST 2019 book! Full of insights and makes you to reevaluate your life. Thanks Emily Ley!

I am a different person after reading this book!

This book spoke words to my soul in ways I didn’t even know were possible. I am such a fan of Emily’s writing and purchased the hard copy of this book, but hearing her read it is so so special. I can’t wait to transform my life into less great, more good. 💙 thank you Emily for this treasure!

Such a great listen!

I listened to this book in 2 days and could’ve listened to Emily’s voice for hours upon hours. It spoke to me in so many ways I needed to hear. I will make changes in my life after hearing this book. Thank you Emily for a great book. I’ll definitely be listening again.

Calming

I got both the audiobook & hardcover book, and I’m glad I did. Single-tasking through this book and not scrolling social media while I listened had a very calming effect. I’m already implementing some of the strategies from this book in my life. This evening, life with a toddler felt less chaotic. I felt like I was actually present, like I want to be.

Loved this book!

I absolutely loved this book so much! Emily is such a talented writer and hearing her read this book aloud in her own voice was so heartfelt. You could hear how much it meant to her. I was very inspired by her book and feel that she has such an amazing perspective. She gave some great tips to make life more meaningful and to create beautiful memories for her family.
