Living Better Than Ever In An Age Of Less
How do You define the good life?
For many, success is measured not by health and happiness but by financial wealth. But such a worldview overlooks the important things in life: personal contentment, family time, spirituality, and the health of the planet and those living on it. A preoccupation with money and possessions is not only unhealthy; it can also drain the true joy from life.
In recent years millions have seen their dreams go up in smoke. The international financial collapse, inflation, massive layoffs and burgeoning consumer debt have left people in dire straights - including John Robbins, a crusader for planet-friendly food and lifestyle choices, who lost his entire saving sin an investment scam. But Robbins soon realised that there was potential upside to our collective financial downturn: curtailed consumerism could lead us to reassess our lives and values.
The New Good life provides a philosophical and prescriptive path from conspicuous consumption to conscious consumption. Where the old view of success was measured by cash, stocks and various luxuries - the new view will be guided by financial restraint and a new awareness of what truly matters. A passionate manifesto on finding meaning beyond money and status - this book delivers a sound blueprint for living well on less.
