### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Insightful and Daft
  

*by K***0 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 13, 2019*

A life of simplicity is appealing to me and this book is filled with simple lifestyle wisdom.  However, please, for the sake of humanity, do not take the author seriously when he seems to suggest we need to design a society of simple living.  I can’t imagine a more horrifying society than forcing my neighbors, by the hand of the State, to live a lifestyle that I personally find appealing.  There are inconsistencies in the book such as the ridiculousness of compulsory education, but the author hints at favoring State coercion to invoke his ideal society.  One may think the author is merely attempting to encourage people to voluntarily take on this lifestyle, but one example, and there are others, is that he spends a good deal of time writing on the virtues of radical wealth redistribution.  Is this going to happen without State intervention?  I don’t think so...  However, if the simple lifestyle is interesting to you personally, then I believe you will find this book helpful.  Just don’t force it on your neighbor.

    Enjoyed it so much I bought it twice.
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 30, 2013*

I'm not much of a reader. It is a rare book that grabs my attention and makes me reevaluate the way I spend my time and effort, but this book was able to do that. It might have been a bit of preaching to the choir, as I also really enjoyed the Nearing books, but I think the author was able to articulate things in a way that was easy to digest and able to provoke thought, and is concise enough for anyone to pickup and read.I probably won't go out and immediately change everything I do, but it has helped shape my view of the world; I can't think of a better endorsement.I first bought the book for Kindle for my own reading, but enjoyed it so much I also purchased the paper version so I could lend the book to like-minded friends.

    One of those books
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 7, 2008*

This book is beautiful.  It is well-written, and the author put a lot of careful thought into his work.This book has much to say about simplicity and wanting less and getting more for the effort.  This is one of those books that everyone should read.  Especially all of us who live in industrialized nations and take simple skills and ways for granted.This book makes you realize that sometimes buying things costs more than you bargain for and you may just be better off doing some things for yourself.I also like the analogy of working a job you hate just for money as prostitution.
