Plain Living And High Thinking: A New Year Homily is a book written by Theodore Thornton Munger and originally published in 1897. The book is a collection of essays and lectures on the topic of simple living and the importance of intellectual and spiritual growth. Munger argues that material possessions and wealth are not the key to happiness and fulfillment, but rather it is the pursuit of knowledge and the development of one's character that leads to a meaningful life. He emphasizes the need to cultivate virtues such as honesty, self-discipline, and humility, and to prioritize spiritual growth over material gain. The book is a timeless reminder of the importance of living a life of purpose and meaning, and encourages readers to focus on the things that truly matter in life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
