Five Reasons Why We Should Live Like Hobbits

Crumpets, tea, songs, and The Shire...these are the simple demands of the equally simple halflings of Middle-Earth. And yet, a lot of them are destined for great adventure, with the weight of the world resting on their shoulders and in every miniscule action they take. Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impact. This week, we take a look at why we should all aspire to run our lives - and our businesses - like Frodo, Samwise, Merry, Pippin, and of course, Bilbo Baggins...the magnificently brave Hobbits from J.R.R Tolkien’s epic fantasy saga.
