The Not so Big Life: Making Room for What Really Matters, Hörbuch, Digital, 344min
Have you ever found yourself asking, "Is this all there is to life?" Or wondering if this bigger life you have created is actually a better life? And do you wonder how it all got so out of control? In her groundbreaking best seller The Not so Big House, architect Sarah Susanka showed us a new way to inhabit our houses by creating homes that were better - not bigger. Now, in The Not so Big Life, Susanka takes her revolutionary philosophy to another dimension by showing us a new way to inhabit our lives.Most of us have lives that are as cluttered with unwanted obligations as our attics are cluttered with things. The bigger-is-better idea that triggered the explosion of McMansions has spilled over to give us McLives. For many of us, our ability to find the time to do what we want to do has come to a grinding halt. Now, we barely have time to take a breath before making the next call on our cell phone while at the same time messaging someone else on our Blackberry. Our schedules are chaotic and overcommitted, leaving us so stressed that we are numb, yet we wonder why we cannot fall asleep at night.In The Not so Big Life, Susanka shows us that it is possible to take our finger off the fast-forward button, and to our surprise, we find how effortless and rewarding this change can be. We do not have to lead a monastic life or give up the things we love. In fact, the real joy of leading a not so big life is discovering that the life we love has been there the entire time. Through simple exercises and inspiring stories, Susanka shows us that all we need to do is make small shifts in our day - subtle movements that open our minds as if we were finally opening the windows to let in fresh air.The Not so Big Life reveals that form and function serve not only architectural aims, but life goals as well. Just as we can tear down interior walls to reveal space, we can tear down our fears and assumptions to open up new poss Language: English. Narrator: Sarah Susanka.

Twenty Years
Sometime around 1990, I bought a used multi-track recorder. My cousin, Mitch and I started writing songs by just playing whatever came into our heads while the tape was running. We often started by intentionally trying to produce something that sounded like somebody else and other times......we just played. We added guitar to most of the songs and even enlisted a couple of "real" guitar players (Dave Davies and Greg Brauer) to add tracks on some of them. At some point, we just stopped. We pretty much forgot about the whole idea of actually producing a finished album and the tapes went into boxes. I found the boxes in 2008 but, by this time, the tape recorder was way-past working. Fortunately, a friend had a similar recorder that was "almost" working. I combined parts of both and ended-up with a machine that would playback the old tapes. This was just about where it also became painfully obvious that time is not kind to audio tape that has been stored in attics, garages and basements for twenty years. Most of the tapes were too far gone to use, yet I still transferred all that showed any hope of restoration into a digital format. After about a year of work, the number of possibly workable songs shrank from over thirty to only eight, but this disappointment turned-out to be a "happy accident." It always seemed to me that the minimum number of songs needed to constitute "album" status was ten, but there were only eight workable songs. This motivated me to complete two songs that would probably never have gone beyond the "demo" phase. I contacted Dave Davies (one of our original "real" guitarists) to see if he would add a guitar solo. In one session, he recorded the guitar breaks for "Doo Dah" and also added some new guitar parts to some of the older songs. Final mixes, mastering, artwork and other post-production work burned about another year on the twenty-year clock. The result is an accidental collection of songs that reflect a wider range of influence than what is usually expected. Twenty Years was a long time coming, but it was worth the wait.
