Why Read This Book?
Ask yourself these
questions:
- Do you have enough money?
- Are you spending enough time with your family and
friends?
- Do you come home from your job full of life?
- Do you have time to participate in the things you
believe are worthwhile?
- If you were laid off from your job, would you see it
as an opportunity?
- Are you satisfied with the contribution you have made
to the world?
- Are you at peace with money?
- Does your job reflect your values?
- Do you have enough savings to see you through six
months of normal living expenses?
- Is your life whole? Do all the pieces -- your job,
your expenditures, your relationships, your values -- fit
together?
If you answered "no" to even one of these
questions, this book is for you.
Others' comments:
If everyone followed this book's advice, economic
life as we know it would be transformed. Everyone would be
happier. And the world would go a long way toward being
saved.
-- Donella Meadows, author of The
Limits to Growth
This book is nothing less than a path to sanity about
personal finances
-- John Robbins, author of Diet for a
New America
The excess materialism of the American way of life has
long been recognized as a root cause of the environmental
decline we see all around us. Dominguez and Robin ... show
us how we can step off the more-is-better treadmill.
-- Lester Brown, Worldwatch Institute
