This book had some useful nuggets of information, but nothing new. And trying to force everything into “sixes” felt a trifle forced.

I thought this book was a beautiful reminder to consider what's important to prioritize in life and make room for simplicity. Would recommend to those who feel overwhelmed and want a better sense of clarity and meaning.

Here's the thing: This book advocates for simple living, and doing so by exploring 6 principles for better living. This is great, however, I have to admit that I loved that the author took her time in explaining how and why these principles matter. So, this is not a book to read in a sitting- it's the book club kind of book, that demands your attention and your focus and honesty. It is the kind you read in bits and question, reflect, note and act upon insights.
I learned something new about 6 being the perfect number according to Euclid and now I love hexagons...albeit briefly, and the six principles shared herein are a call to action to keep it simple and also learn from nature.

Thank you Netgalley for the eARC.

The author is obviously extremely bright, and there are some excellent ideas here, including using bees as a running theme. We need more simplicity and it can be a true challenge to achieve and maintain. While I didn't find most of the suggestions and ideas applicable to me, they're valid and will likely help a number of readers.

Thanks very much for the ARC for review!!

It would have been better of the book was structured on the same principles it teaches. There is just too much padding and waffle, and it would have been so much better if it was kept more simple and to the point. The author has lots of good things to say but the book needs reducing it is like a mind dump. I appreciate that it might be perfect for some people who like lots of detail and metaphors but for me I would have preferred it to be more direct and clear on what it is teaching.
