What is National Simplicity Day?
National Simplicity Day honors the birthday of Henry David Thoreau and celebrates the idea that living with less can bring greater happiness. It invites people to declutter their lives and minds—reading, spending time in nature, and unplugging from technology. Thoreau's two years at Walden Pond remain a timeless reminder to focus on what truly matters.
