Simple Abundance

365 Days to a Balanced and Joyful Life

By: Sarah Ban Breathnach

Narrated by: Sarah Ban Breathnach

In times of crisis, countless women have turned to Simple Abundance for comfort and joy -- and now this mega-bestselling guide is updated and expanded for everyone who loved the original book, as well as a new generation that needs it now more than ever.

First published in 1995, Simple Abundancetopped the New York Times Bestseller list for over two years and is responsible for introducing two hugely popular concepts -- the "Gratitude Journal" and the term "Authentic Self." With daily inspirational meditations and reflections, the Simple Abundance phenomenon became a touchstone for a generation of women, helping them to reclaim their true selves, find balance during life's busiest moments, and rediscover what makes them truly happy.

Simple Abundance's powerful messages are needed now more than ever, as we navigate the discord and stress instigated by a constant stream of "breaking news" cycles, and our 24/7 social media culture. Sarah Ban Breathnach has refreshed her bestselling phenomenon to address the needs of a new generation, with her signature candor, wit, and wisdom that made her a trusted and compassionate confidant for millions of women.

A perennial classic whose time has come again, Sarah's work celebrates quiet joys, simple pleasures, and well-spent moments and reminds us how to find the beauty in the everyday.

Amazing and Empowering

Ok, I’ve been trying to read this book since forever. That’s clearly an exaggeration but not really. I initially received a hardback version of this in the late 90s as a Christmas present. And at the beginning of every year, I would pick it up and promise myself that it would be the year I completed it only to have forgotten about it around March or so.

Not this year though! I’ve actually finished reading it! 💃🏻🕺🏻 Someone somewhere told me or I heard it or saw it on TikTok/Instagram, that the best way to make a habit stick was to tie it to an existing habit 💡A serious lightbulb moment for me, lol. So that’s what I did. I added reading a daily entry/meditation to my well-established morning routine… and woohoo! I read it daily and finished it this year 😊

This is a life changing book. Obviously, it takes patience and grace to read/do something daily. And then to take on the gentle practices that this book is all about is even more amazing. I’m so glad to have completed it and I will continue to read the daily entries going forward!
