Publisher's Notes
"Yankee" and "simple" go well together for a reason: Many of our forebears led complex lives and made them look simple. Daniel Webster drew crowds of fifty thousand as the nation's top trial lawyer and diplomat - and still found time for a daily nap on a park bench across the street from the White House. Runaway apprentice Benjamin Franklin juggled a printing business, electricity experiments, best-selling books, and diplomacy - while fomenting American independence. And Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin and helped turn a nation against slavery - with six children underfoot. Like these notable Yankees, how can we spend less time on boring stuff that doesn't make us healthier, wealthier, or wiser, and find more time for what we love - playing with our kids, pursuing worthy work, reading, or (like Webster) napping? How can we foment independence (our own!)? We all have a little Yankee in us. This quirky step-by-step guide helps you take the best of all things Yankee - ingenuity, thrift, idealism, and a generous dollop of individualism - and create a life that reflects the disciplines and comforts you value.
