Get Satisfied: How Twenty People Like You Found the Satisfaction of Enough
by
Carol Holst
What do Americans need that most eludes them? It's not a tank of cheap gas (as astonishing as that would be) or ever earlier pre-holiday sales. What Americans need most - and most of them know it - is satisfaction, especially the satisfaction of enough.
So when Simple Living America put out its call for submissions to this book, the mainstream response was enthusiastic.

A breath of fresh air and just what the doctor ordered for these economically difficult times! Twenty insightful essays on how to find satisfaction and happiness through simpler, more meaningful living. I found good advice and support on how to go beyond the manic consumerism and ubiquitous advertising driving our American culture, to find the "satisfaction of enough", in 20 very different and interesting ways.
A varied collection of essays written by people who have tried to "simplify" their lives and livelihoods. The spectrum of what was identified as "simplification" was interesting. My favorite was the economic cost/benefit analysis of an afternoon of kite flying.
Examples of people who've cut back. No guidance as to how to make the necessary choices, and not terribly inspiring or relevant.
Essays by 20 different people on simplicity. Some of the essays were well written, others not so much.
Get Satisfied is a collection of essays from people who have simplified their lives. It wasn't a bad collection, just not great or really inspiring. I wouldn't really recommend this one.
