De la contraportada

In an overcomplicated world, what many of us crave deep down is greater simplicity: less clutter, fewer commitments, less static and chaos.

This ingenious set of cards asks us a range of deceptively simple questions - which we can answer by ourselves or with friends - that focus our minds on what really counts. They give us confidence to assess what we might give up on and where our true focus should lie. They ask us to look at our careers, our relationships, our family lives, and our ambitions more broadly. In a few easy steps, these cards help us prioritize and sift - and, with gentle humor, guide us to the simpler lives we long for and deserve.
