Simplicity: Notes, stories and exercises for developing unimaginable wealth

by Mark A. Burch

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.

A little book with some common sense approaches to stepping a little more lightly on our planet :)

[C2015]

Describes what voluntary simplicity is. Some of it is a bit strange (lack of simplicity, consumptiveness, is a form of violence). Some is really good. ( hunting as meditation). Also goes over questions to help you think differently about your life and your needs. [Would be good to do them another time!]
