Mind Body & Soul Ezine Book review: The Abundance of Less - Lessons in Simple Living from Rural Japan by Andy Couturier. Published by North Atlantic Books. RRP US $19.95 : Can $25.95 This is an in depth study. It presents 10 men and women in urban Japan who lived ordinary lives surrounded by all the trappings of Western life. Yet they escaped to a life with less things, less stresses, and less dependence on modern technology. Sustainable living provides many answers to the ecological difficulties experienced by Western living. With b/w illustrations, we meet the people who have transformed their lives, finding that less is more. I loved meeting these people through their life stories and through their words and creativity, joy and caring. This book will leave you hungry to read more, and eager and to reduce your commitments to consumerism by living a healthier and easier lifestyle.
