Voluntary
Simplicity: Toward a Way of Life That is Outwardly Simple, Inwardly Rich
by Duane Elgin; new edition 2010
Softcover, ISBN 978-0061779268,
5.5"X8.3", 240 Pages
This year my big New Year's Resolution is not about
what I am going to do. It is about what
I am NOT going to do . This year I am not going to live
in excess. I am striving to buy less, have less, stress less, and in doing so,
live more. Voluntary Simplicity was originally published ahead of its time in
1981, when green living was viewed by many as suspect and a desire to find meaning
outside of materialism was a personal journey undertaken by idealists. More than
30 years later, organic gardening, simple living and small homes are becoming
mainstream as more and more people recognize the appeal of a lifestyle based on
depth of meaning rather than breadth of acquisitions.
Voluntary simplicity does not present a how-to manual
of low impact choices you can make, instead focusing on why people make these
choices and how it affects them. For me, this book has been an inspiring and
reassuring companion when it seems like personal actions don't make a difference,
gently reminding that the rewards of living simply are both internal and global.
If you loved the first edition of this book, there is more to it! This new edition
has been completely revised and updated and more than half of it is new material.
If you are among the growing crowd of people stepping
outside the rush of consumer culture, or if you have already made the leap,
this book is tonic for those days when, as one woman quoted in the book says,
"Personal growth is painful!"
