Today is DAY FIVE of Giveaway Week, and I am giving away a non-consumer book bundle to one lucky winner!
The three paperback books included in this giveaway are:
You Can Buy Happiness: How One Woman radically Simplified Her Life and How You Can Too, by my friend Tammy Strobel. Tiny house, few possessions, big contentment.
Better Off: Flipping The Switch on Technology, by Eric Brende. Lives with radical Amish, finds joy in hard work and true happiness in a simple life.
Walden on Wheels: On The Open Road From Debt to Freedom, by Ken Ilgunas. Student loan debt, hard work and secretly living in a van to afford grad school.
These three books all have a person makes a radical life change theme, yet are very different from one another. Great reads looking for a new home.

Three and one half years ago, at age 62, I moved from suburban CT to the most rural – and most beautiful part – of Vermont. I moved from a 3500+ square foot Victorian to a small ranch house. I am still working but plan to move more fully into homesteading and working from home in the next eighteen months. I love to read about folks who have experimented with simplifying, down sizing, cutting technological dependencies and cutting corners to live a fuller, more personally meaningful life!
Mary Jo!

All three of these books interest me, and I would donate them to the local library after I read them.

Grace E. You can buy Eric Brende’s (he wrote the “Better Off” book) families’ handmade soap “Hermann Handmade Soap” at Soulard Market in St. Louis every Saturday. They show by example that it is still possible to live a simple, technology free life, even in the heart of a city.
