How do you define the good life? For many, success is measured not by health and happiness but by financial wealth. But such a worldview overlooks the important things in life: personal contentment, family time, spirituality, and the health of the planet and those living on it. A preoccupation with money and possessions is not only unhealthy, it can also drain the true joy from life.

In recent years, millions have watched their American Dreams go up in smoke. The international financial collapse, inflation, massive layoffs, and burgeoning consumer debt have left people in dire financial straits - including John Robbins, a crusader for planet-friendly food and lifestyle choices, who lost his entire savings in an investment scam.

The New Good Life provides a philosophical and prescriptive path from conspicuous consumption to conscious consumption. Where the old view of success was measured by cash, stocks, and various luxuries, the new view will be guided by financial restraint and a new awareness of what truly matters. A passionate manifesto on finding meaning beyond money and status, this book delivers a sound blueprint for living well on less.

Discover how to:

  • Alleviate depression, lower blood pressure, and stay fit with inexpensive alternatives to high-cost medications
  • Develop a diet that promotes better health - and saves you money
  • Plan for, and protect yourself from, future economic catastrophes
  • Cut down on your housing and transportation costs
  • Live frugally without deprivation
  • Follow in the footsteps of real people who have effectively forged new financial identities

The New Good Life provides much-nee...
