VOLUNTARY
SIMPLICITY:
Toward a Way of Life That Is
Outwardly Simple, Inwardly Richby Duane Elgin
When Voluntary Simplicity was first
published in 1981, it quickly became recognized as a powerful and visionary work in the
emerging dialogue over sustainable ways of living. More than a dozen years later, with
many of the planet's environmental stresses having become more urgent than ever, Duane
Elgin has extensively revised and updated his revolutionary book.
Voluntary Simplicity is not a book
about living in poverty; it is a book about living with balance. It illuminates the
pattern of changes that an increasing number of Americans are making in their everyday
lives: adjustments in day-to-day living that are an active, positive response to the
complex dilemmas of our time. By choosing lives of great simplicity, people have the power
to develop more satisfying and soulful ways of living, and the power to change the world.
