Synopsis
Notes, Stories and Exercises for Developing Unimaginable Wealth eloquently explores voluntary simplicity as a richly rewarding and socially fulfilling lifestyle -- a practical, enriching alternative to our destructive and often unsatisfying culture of consumption. Simplicity is a hands-on manual for personal and community-wide change. It focuses on practical exercises for expanding awareness of one's own patterns of consumption and taking steps to reduce them, as well as a section on engaging one's family, friends, and colleagues in the challenging but joyful process of simplifying one's material gains while enriching one's emotional, social and spiritual life.

Simplicity: Notes, stories and exercises for developing unimaginable wealth
Seller: Mad Hatter, West Kelowna, BC, Canada
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Near Fine. U.S.A.: New Society Publishers, 1995. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Clean and unmarked. Sustainability may seem like one more buzzword, and cities and towns like the last places to change, but this book provides inspiring examples of communities that have made dramatic changes toward sustainability, and explains how others can emulate their success. Chronicled in the book are towns like Overtornea, whose government operations recently became 100 per cent fossil fuel-free, demonstrating that unsustainable municipal practices really can be overhauled. Arguing that the process of introducing change -- whether converting to renewable energy or designing compact development -- is critical to success, the authors outline why well-intentioned proposals often fail to win community approval, and why an integrated approach -- not single-issue initiatives -- can surmount challenges of conflicting priorities, scarce resources, and turf battles. 130 pp. Seller Inventory # 004943
