adorable? In it, author Emily Morrow advocates for a simpler, more natural life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m fully onboard for many of the ideas presented: limiting exposure to harmful chemicals, reducing stress, going barefoot, and improving sleep? Yes, please!

Clearly knowledgeable, yet simultaneously humorous and humble, Emily strikes a good balance between conviction and compassion, repeatedly reminding us that &#8220;crunchiness is a spectrum&#8221; and urging readers to &#8220;think for yourself, do the best you can, and show love for your fellow human beings.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-persuasion-by-jane-austen\">6. <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xmA5vL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Persuasion<\/a> <\/em>by Jane Austen <\/h3>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id82743_6393d2-b0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id82743_6393d2-b0 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id82743_6393d2-b0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}.kb-row-layout-id82743_6393d2-b0 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id82743_6393d2-b0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id82743_6393d2-b0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id82743_6393d2-b0 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-right-golden kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column82743_ef3652-0a > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column82743_ef3652-0a > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column82743_ef3652-0a > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column82743_ef3652-0a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column82743_ef3652-0a > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column82743_ef3652-0a > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column82743_ef3652-0a{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column82743_ef3652-0a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column82743_ef3652-0a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column82743_ef3652-0a\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Persuasion.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"339\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Persuasion.jpg?resize=339%2C522&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Persuasion.jpg?w=339&amp;ssl=1 339w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Persuasion.jpg?resize=195%2C300&amp;ssl=1 195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column82743_d85f29-77 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column82743_d85f29-77 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column82743_d85f29-77 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column82743_d85f29-77 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column82743_d85f29-77 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column82743_d85f29-77 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column82743_d85f29-77{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column82743_d85f29-77 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column82743_d85f29-77 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column82743_d85f29-77\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p> I finished listening to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/click.convertkit-mail.com\/qduq700mxef7h7pmw4zalhnp54rkk\/48hvh7urk0m8wkhq\/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbXpuLnRvLzNWS3RaMkc=\">Persuasion<\/a>\u00a0by Jane Austen this week after getting the audiobook for free with my <a href=\"https:\/\/click.convertkit-mail.com\/qduq700mxef7h7pmw4zalhnp54rkk\/wnh2h6uw8rq6mmal\/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbXpuLnRvLzQzUnFETjk=\">Audible membership<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anne Elliot&#8217;s story is profoundly sad.
