review 1: A great collection of thoughtful and intelligent essays on the many important aspects of living a sustainable life. Many of these writers are members of the simplicity movement, but they all quickly debunk the idea that that movement is anything about eccentric lifestyles or an ascetic approach to life. These articles are holistic in the sense that they approach the problem from all its aspects: environmental, political, spiritual, social, economic and global. Still, far from being any kind of piecemeal or band-aid approach to the problems discussed, this book presents probably the deepest and most comprehensive look at the kinds of changes that are necessary to reverse the problems of global warming and environmental depletion that we are facing on our planet. This ... morebook is a very necessary and enlightening read focusing on real solutions and positive steps to create the deep changes that we can no longer deny are needed.
review 2: A great variety of short essays from a broad number of people involved in the slow/simplicity movement. Thought provoking and challenging. It's comforting to see many of the thoughts and ideas that have been bumping around in my head lately appear in writing. An excellent read for our current economic, environmental and social state.
