Elgin's work emerges from a concern for the environmental consequences of our mass consumption lifestyles. His book exhorts us to save the planet and our souls by "living with balance in order to find a life of greater purpose." 296597 1981 Voluntary Simplicity, Revised Edition: Toward a Way of Life That Is Outwardly Simple, Inwardly Rich total:167|5:35|4:58|3:47|2:20|1:7| 167 595 315 37 305597 0688121195 9780688121198 165 36 3.56 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173572753m/305597.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/305597.Voluntary_Simplicity_Revised_Edition_Toward_a_Way_of_Life_That_Is_Outwardly_Simple_Inwardly_Rich 3 1 false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 16 09:22:25 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 19 17:33:56 -0800 2008 more...]]> 305597 0688121195 9780688121198 165 36 3.56 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173572753m/305597.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/305597.Voluntary_Simplicity_Revised_Edition_Toward_a_Way_of_Life_That_Is_Outwardly_Simple_Inwardly_Rich 3 0 false Fri Sep 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 04:54:46 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 05:02:51 -0700 2009 more...]]> 305597 0688121195 9780688121198 165 36 3.56 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173572753m/305597.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/305597.Voluntary_Simplicity_Revised_Edition_Toward_a_Way_of_Life_That_Is_Outwardly_Simple_Inwardly_Rich 4 0 false Tue Feb 24 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 06 17:19:28 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 16:37:55 -0800 2009 more...]]> 305597 0688121195 9780688121198 165 36 3.56 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173572753m/305597.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/305597.Voluntary_Simplicity_Revised_Edition_Toward_a_Way_of_Life_That_Is_Outwardly_Simple_Inwardly_Rich 2 0 false Sat Apr 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 11:16:40 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 03:51:25 -0700 2009
