Simplicity Forum

What is the Simplicity Forum?

The Simplicity Forum is a think tank of academics and authors,
activist and artists, educators and entrepreneurs who seek to
promote simplicity in our work and practice it in our lives.
Together we are committed to achieving and honoring simple,
just and sustainable ways of life.

Advocating for a Simplicity Friendly Society

Simplicity is a growing trend in the United States and other
industrial countries. Millions of people (by some estimates over
50 million) are trying to slow down, work meaningfully, be
engaged in relationships, family and community, get out of debt
and reduce wasteful consumption. Each of them feels alone.
All of them do what they can as individuals in a commercial
climate pushing them to consume more. The Simplicity Forum
honors these valiant personal efforts — and intends to organize
this invisible constituency to actively work towards changing
both the culture and the policies that drive over-work and
over-consumption.

What Does Simplicity Mean?

Ironically, simplicity is not a very simple word to define, in part
because it is approached and embodied in so many different
ways and for such a wide variety of reasons. To begin to get a
sense of how simplicity might resonate with your own life goals
or the mission of your organization read “A Garden of Simplicity”
by Duane Elgin, author of the classic book Voluntary Simplicity.
You can also visit our Resources page where you will find
additional Websites, Research, Articles, Books and Other Media
created by Forum Members to help you explore the many ways
that simplicity is lived and how it can help contribute to greater
levels of personal, social and global well-being.
