In a world that is sold out for "getting" and "having," how is less is more relevant? Though this book is not advocating economic principles, the life principles herein have revolutionized people's lives then and now. Man has always had conflict between the dichotomy of have and have nots. Who and how "increase" is derived in my life will have a direct bearing on how "decrease" is appreciated. How I relate to humility and pride will determine the cost and value of each to me.
