5In Search of Simplicity.A true story that changes lives.  May 05, 2009
By Emshawyer
I have the priviledge of knowing and living in the same community as the author John Haines and his beautiful wife Lucia.
His book reflects the nature of the man himself; honest,funny,adventurous and humble.
The values and way of life that is distinguished by simplicity and spirituality are integrated into John's way of living his life.
Both he and Lucia are forever available to the community,giving love peace and knowledge to all who seek.
The book which I read with so much enjoyment is an inspiration to all.

5Thought provoking!  Jan 18, 2009
By Leanne Lonergan "Colour Therapist"
This book is a fascinating read. As John talks of his own travels in search of what it means to live a simple existence I couldn't help but start thinking of how I could simplify my own life too. I came away inspired in so many ways. It reminded me of the importance of staying in the 'now' moment and how by being in the 'now' you allow magic to happen. I can't wait for the sequel!

5Simply Simplicity  Jun 30, 2009
By Radiance LLC "ElanStar"
In Search of Simplicity: A True Story that Changes Lives

Simplicity is a rare virtue in this contemporary society in which most of us find that simplicity is
a seemingly impossible commodity. With the advertising for "more and better" we often fail to see the abundance and prosperity right in front of us in the now moment.

In this unique book, a documentation of Haine's travels in some quite novel and exotic locations the synchronicities abound. In Search for Simplicity a true story of profound color and richness is accompanied by a very insightful narrative by the author who portrays a dynamic world of coincidences and change meetings that turn into profound and often mystical experiences in some of the world's more remote locations and lands.

For those seeking to find the spiritual revelation in "following the tao" of adventure and the path of least resistance, The Search for Simplicity is a book that reveals that the Simple life is complex and rich with meaning and power woven from experiences that cannot be merely "spun"

In other words the reality is much more amazing than fiction .
I recommend The Search for Simplicity for you after you have read all the self help and consciousness books and travelogues and want to begin experiencing the wisdom inherent in the synchronicities that unfold in an intuitive and open heart.

The journey is anything but boring.

By Philip Davis "CEO, Authors On The Net at www.authorsonthenet.com"
John's book is a must read for those of us burning through the years as if they were days. You know the feeling. Besides reading his book, I had the pleasure of speaking with John and his message has changed the way I enjoy my time. I am definitely simplifying my life.
