review 1: This book is fantastic and inspiring. I'm already coming from a reasonably anti-money place, but this really shows how money can be harmful not just to an individual but to society in general. It brings up a lot of good points about religion, too -- how so many major religions are basically saying the same thing deep down when you get past the fakers who are just in it to get something for themselves. It's awesome to read about someone who actually lives his ideals without compromising. review 2: I thought this author tried to force the message indicated in the title. In fact, the book is mis-titled. The title should be "the man whose religion ruined his life." Daniel (the topic of the book) was raised in an extreme fundamentalist family and when he got away ... morefrom that enough to question it and when he later realized he was gay, he simply couldn't cope with conventional life. This book has nothing to do with money and Daniel certainly didn't "quit" money. He simply quit trying to live as most people do, but he certainly continued with commerce. This author forced Daniel into a definition that simply isn't accurate in an poor attempt to interest readers. less
