Product Description

Product Description

Radical Simplicity is a hand-lettered, illustrated book that speaks directly and elegantly to that craving we all have for an authentic life, one that we've each "hand made" for ourselves, rather than one dictated by outside circumstances. Author Dan Price, a Thoreau for the twenty-first century, has helped champion a growing trend that's been variously referred to as "downshifting," "opting out," or "simple living." What makes his book so different and engaging is that he speaks from the authenticity of first-hand experience, for Price is an American original who has made his dreams a reality. His message is: "You can live a life of freedom, in harmony with the rhythms of nature, and your own internal rhythm and creativity. You can live very well with very little money. That's what I've done, and I can show you how." This is as much a "reading" book as a how-to guide, one that expresses its profound insights into carving out a life of meaning in a beautiful, practical way. It is bound to strike a chord with world-weary baby boomers as well as time-pressured but still idealistic members of the younger generation.

About the Author

Dan Price is a former news and fine arts photographer who lives in Oregon, USA, in "an 80-foot wide underground hobbit hole". He is the father of two children.

5.0 out of 5 stars We often forgot about simplicity 26 Nov 2009
By Steven C VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
That's the kind of book you read and you think, god damn it I should have done the same! He's part of the person I would love to meet in my life, simplicity has been forgotten, I think that doing photography drawing sketching etc enables us to taste about what is actually important

5.0 out of 5 stars Favourite 28 July 2012
By Lockie
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
One of my favourite books I am yet again reminded that there's a place for each of us. Price combines his curiosity of the natural world with journallying and his love of the outdoor lifestyle. You don't have to be an eco warrior to enjoy this. If you enjoyed the episode of The Good Life when Richard Briars hand made a suit from nettle dyed wool or whatever it was, you will enjoy reading Dan Price's descriptions of the shacks he self styles. Even though I'm not out there cutting birch sticks and hazel and drying damp socks on fenceposts its comforting to know there are others who are.
