Patty Kreamer is a professional speaker, author, consultant and residential and corporate organizer. Patty is the President of Kreamer Connect, Inc., a Pittsburgh-based company that helps individual and corporate clients become more productive and perform better while at the same time simplifying their work and lives. Patty has created the twenty-six week e-course "Making Life Simple... Again!" and authored the book "But I Might Need It Someday".

The Power of Simplicity includes a foreword, acknowledgements, introduction and an author biography. It is organized in the following chapters:

Chapter 1: Imagine the possibilities of simplicity
Chapter 2: Tackling the physical side of simplicity
Chapter 3: Confronting the emotional side of simplicity
Chapter 4: The Power of pause
Chapter 6: See it, say it, believe it...And it will come
Chapter 7: Dealing with procrastination...NOW!
Chapter 8: Take time to make time
Chapter 9: So many choices...not enough time
Chapter 10: Speaking simply...

When I began reading this book I was struck by a profound statement made by Patty in the introduction. She says "The issue is that as human beings, we tend to allow life to be difficult. Unfortunately, we are not alien creatures that would be satisfied with just the basics of survival: air, water, food, and shelter." Human beings complicate their lives endlessly and then find themselves trapped in overwhelm, depression and physical complaints triggered by their inability to make good choices.

You no longer have to be trapped. The Power of Simplicity will teach you that everything boils down to a choice. Patty defines choice as:

CHOICE

Contemplate
Having
Only
If
Considered
Essential

In addition to choice Patty defines clutter as nothing more than unmade decisions. Don't think that Patty drops these bombs and then walks out the door leaving you dumbstruck. She sticks by you throughout the book giving you concrete examples of making better choices and simplifying life the easy way. She teaches you how to make life more enjoyable not only for yourself but also for your family, your friends and your co-workers.

If you are overbooked, under stress, disorganized and at the breaking point then you need to read The Power of Simplicity. Think of Patty as your friend and this book as a step-by-step instruction manual for living a healthier and more simple life.
