The Monocle Book of Gentle Living

My brother recently bought The Monocle Book of Gentle Living and told me we need to aim living a “gentle life”. I like the idea of living a gentle life, although it feels difficult at times as I easily get annoyed and upset by a lot of things and always struggling to organise my daily schedule.

I have not yet read the book, but found this video about it which highlights 10 tips for a gentler life. I will need to look at this list frequently to help myself get into the rhythm of a gentle life.

1. Feather your nest

2. Feed your soul

3. Have a side project

4. Get back to nature

5. Send a letter, postcard or present

6. Buy things once but well

7. Perfect a dish

8. Strip off and swim

9. Find a hideaway

10. Go off radar
