One of the best books that I have read. Contains great information on how to live an outwardly simple, yet fulfilling lifestyle. This book really put things into perspective for me.

If you'd never heard of or supported the voluntary simplicity movement, this book would probably make you think it was a cult. Strange anonymous quotes from converts and stoic aimless narrative. No real practical advice. There are SOOOOO many better books out there on this subject-don't make the mistake I made with this book. The only reason I don't give this 1 star is because I don't know if back in the day this book stood for something unique. So, it gets an ignorance star.
