A simpler life. In a shadow cast by the jarring beginning of the
new millennium, simplicity has an undeniable appeal. Global
conflicts, domestic security concerns, and a stalling economy can
make keeping up with the Joneses feel like, at best, a misguided
luxury. Now is not a time for excess; it is a time, it would seem,
to focus on 'what really matters.' Thus the appeal of voluntary
simplicity, a notion that combines the freedom of modernity with
certain comforts and virtues of the past. The authors in this
volume speak to the what, why, and how of voluntary simplicity (and
even to some extent the where, when, and who). Those included range
from contemporary academics to thinkers from the turn of the last
century, from ardent supporters to staunch critics. They approach
the subject from a variety of perspectives-economic, psychological,
sociological, historical, and theological. Each either implicitly
or explicitly helps us explore the desirability and feasibility of
voluntary simplicity.
