review 1: A useful and well-written addition to the collection of books about moving away from capitalism and embracing a mind-set of happiness with less. The author, son of the famed Robbins of Baskin-Robbins wealth, walked away from his inheritance at age 21 and talks about the reasons for choosing a different path. It includes practical advice about natural cleaning porducts, simplifying your finances, eating naturally and much more. Essentially, this book combines many of the ideas from other books on realted topics in one, easy-to-read place.
review 2: This is an easy-read memoir/self-help book on find real value in your life without needing lots of "stuff." Very focused on shedding possessions and living simply. I like the parts on how to identify your relationshi... morep with money (and how to not let this *define* you). There are decent money management tips, interesting takes on big life choices (ie: buying a house, having a child) and some good reminders that money doesn't buy happiness. Plus, the author's dad founded Baskin Robbins. So that's neat. less
