Simple and Free

“The 7 experiment was the catalyst for us selling our business and our house, downsizing from 3600 square feet to 750, and giving more. I need to use this book as a compass to keep myself focused on what matters.”—Kristi, lifetime quarantine trainee and fairly new GIF user

“Simple & Free is my favorite thing an author could possibly do: revisit her previous work to edit herself in real time. I love the apologies, the corrections, the humility, and the selfdeprecation. If we have grown, we all need to have some words with ourselves and our previously held thoughts and beliefs.”—Allison Pickett, book lover, loud talker, and, seriously, don’t leave her alone with salsa

“I’m incredibly thankful for a book like 7, which planted seeds in me all those years ago. We still recycle. We compost. And we garden. I enjoy the new commentary and appreciate being able to see where [Jen] corrects herself instead of changing the language—an example of how we all make mistakes and how to acknowledge them with grace and humility.”—Liz, lover of books (especially buying them)

“7 completely changed the way I thought about my spending and consumption. I, too, thought that I didn’t care much about clothes, and then I had to stop counting at 300+ items. Simple & Free is a must-read; Jen’s honesty, humility, and humor walk me through how I can love others through my choices.”—Kristi, Enneagram 1 who prefers to be known as an Improver instead of a Perfectionist

“When I first read 7, I was a social worker living in my dream place and following Jesus the best I could. I shopped a lot and thought nothing of it. 7 revolutionized my thoughts about excess. I had to let go of all the things that I thought I loved. Simple & Free is like sitting on the floor reading an old journal with a dear friend.”—Regina, (mostly) recovering shoe addict
