Simple Living America News
Summer 2007 newsletter column
By Carol Holst
Simple Living America has a new website, a new quarterly newsletter, and a new way to Get Satisfied! All traffic from our old URL is now forwarding automatically to our consolidated site at www.getsatisfied.org, so check out the heaping helping of satisfaction! Enjoy the information galore; 50% member discount on pre-ordering Get Satisfied [Easton Studio Press, October 2007]; house parties and other events; public postings on The Satisfaction of Enough; and of course low-cost ways to renew your Simple Living America membership this year if it slipped past. Now is the time if ever there was one to come aboard or stay aboard and ride the Get Satisfied campaign nationwide. I’ll just highlight one of the above items in the final paragraph of my column, so you can glide on to the other cool features in this newsletter: vital columns from Cecile Andrews, Wanda Urbanska, and Frank Levering; praise for Sarah Susanka’s new book, The Not So Big Life; news on the “What’s the Economy For, Anyway?” Conference, and our popular newsletter feature, “Outside the Covers: Honoring Other Get Satisfied Stories.”
Thanks to Dr. Yukio Okano’s cutting-edge work at Kaiser Permanente, Simple Living America has been given the honor of presenting a session at their 2007 Behavioral Health Symposium, further indication of exciting mental health advances in this field. It will be held on October 26 at the Pacific Palms Conference Resort in Industry Hills, CA, and is designed for Kaiser physicians and health care professionals getting CME credit, although anyone may attend upon submission of registration and payment of fees to Kaiser (see www.getsatisfied.org Events page, click here for fee schedule). Principal speakers will be Peter C. Whybrow, M.D., Director of the Semel Institute for Neuroscience & Human Behavior at UCLA and author of American Mania: When More Is Not Enough, and Cecile Andrews, Ed.D., author of Slow Is Beautiful and The Circle of Simplicity.

Simplicity is the highest intelligence. But outward acts of simplicity does not mean that one has grasped the importance of simplicity. Psychologically, acts of simplicity may just be another way that mind adds to the ego/centric self. As long as one is seeking to be identified and attached with that which is possesed either the material or the ideal then there has not been the realization of true simiplicity. One has just replaced one type of gratification with another.
