How can we live more simply, learn to appreciate what we have and root our way of being in the Earth we have inherited By living simply and becoming an Earth Warrior. As life keeps urging us to go faster, many of us are moving in the opposite direction...we are looking for SLOWNESS, for stillness, to live more natural, less complex lives. Bob Hillary spent a year living off grid, this experience taught him how to live simply. It meant; downscaling, re-wilding, un-teching and finding and doing things that are free.

Bob's book is so useful and timely. His simple suggestions give us all practical steps to take in these confusing times. I recommended this book highly for anyone who wants to live a more natural and less complicated life. It is a great relief to know there is another way. Bob tells us all about this 'other way' - in this wonderful and indispensable guide to living more simply Good medicine for pretty nuts times ... the act of reading the book is a tonic for the soul.
