About Wanda Urbanska

Sustainability advocate Wanda Urbanska is the host-producer of America’s first nationally syndicated public TV series on the topic, Simple Living with Wanda Urbanska (now on hulu.com and selected PBS stations/ www.simplelivingtv.net) with four production seasons. Ms. Urbanska speaks about how less can be more and gives inspirational guidance on the path to simplicity. Drawing on her latest book, “The Heart of Simple Living: 7 Paths to a Better Life” (Krause: 2010), Ms. Urbanska presents lifestyle choices and mindset shifts that will advance you to a better future.

Ms. Urbanska is the author or co-author of eight books, including “Less is More,” “Nothing’s too Small to Make a Difference,” and “Christmas on Jane Street.” The New York Times described her as “a spokesperson for a phenomenon known as the simplicity movement”; O, The Oprah Magazine called her “the de facto Martha Stewart of the voluntary simplicity movement”; and USA Today called her a “simplicity guru.”

Wanda Urbanska is a graduate of Harvard University and has published in “Mother Earth News,” “Natural Home,” “Glamour,” The “Washington Post,” The “Chicago Tribune,” The “Los Angeles Times,” “American Libraries” and more. She is the monthly “green and simple living” blogger for the American Library Association’s “@ your library website” and makes her home in Raleigh, North Carolina.
