Mattheus Guttenberg's Reviews > Radical Simplicity: Small Footprints on a Finite Earth

Radical Simplicity is both a persuasive case for a less-cluttered, ecologically-conscious mode of living and a set of tools to guide the readers toward that end. In this book, you will learn about ecological footprinting, financial footprinting (through Your Money or Your Life), and the benefits that come from living closer to Nature. Merkel lays out a compelling lifestyle: reduce your bloated, unconscious consumer habits and save money and natural resources by learning to live well on less. With an inspiring philosophy and plenty of practical ideas, Merkel's urgency toward ecologically-minded simple living is compelling. The author has a foot in both the environmentalist movement and the financial independence movement, making this book a treat for the reader in either camp.
