“From the cradle to the grave ... the [wo]man of modern times struggles through a maze of endless complication.”

Although Charles Wagner penned these words over 125 years ago, they are more true today than ever before. On today's show author Suzanne Johnson modernizes Wagner's tenets of simple living for twenty-first century existence.

Here's a preview of the Wagner-isms we are revisiting today: 

[7:30] We suffer the consequences of a too artificial life

[11:30] The more goods a woman has, the more she wants

[18:00] Pleasure cannot be bought or sold

[24:00] Obscurity is not a sign of disgrace

[30:00] The realm of silence is vaster than the realm of noise

[41:00] Simplicity is a state of mind
