For those of you hedging your bets on winning a David Wann book, here's your chance at another one.This makes for a great follow-up to the book Affluenza.
"Simple Prosperity reads like a well-loved novel, engaging and educational. David Wann offers creative solutions to the challenges of over-consumption and makes it a thoroughly enjoyable read." Jill Cloutier, Producer, Sustainable World Radio
In his bestseller Affluenza, David Wann and his co-authors diagnosed the debilitating disease of over-consumption. In Simple Prosperity he shows readers how we can overcome this disease by investing in a variety of real wealth sources. To recapture a more abundant and sustainable lifestyle, try: *Creating a richer life story through personal growth incentives
*Forming higher-yield friendships and stronger bonds through social capital
*Taking preventive healthcare measures to build up wellness reserves
*Balancing the biological budget through "greener" currency
*Caring for people, not just cars, to improve your neighborhood wealth index
*Resolving that pesky carbon conundrum through energy savings
*Celebrating instead of desecrating! Cultural prosperity futures value the earth as a sacred place
As usual, add your name to the comments for a chance to win this great new book from David Wann. The contest ends Friday, May 2nd, at 6:00 pm PST. I'll announce the winner on Saturday! Time's up!
Bonus Note: If you are starting the Extreme Eco Challenge today, I haven't totally forgotten about you! I'll be posting about it soon...

ReplyDeleteplease add me in :)
ReplyDeleteCount me in, please.
ReplyDeleteI'm not entered in the Extreme Eco Throwdown but I am still making small changes. My latest is switching to bar shampoo. I buy my soap from a local goat keeper who makes Goat Milk soap. Upon comparing the ingredients in the soap to those listed on the shampoo bottle, I felt a lot better about the soap. I've only shampooed with it three times, but so far so good. It would be really cool to eliminate all those shampoo bottles lurking in our showers. I wonder, though, if I can find a replacement for conditioner? Very hard to get a comb through my longish wet hair without conditioner.
This looks like a great book. Count me in. -- Asrai
ReplyDeleteAdd me to this list. This book is not available at my local library.
