Frugal Hedonism - A Book Review

Frugal Hedonism - A Book Review
Ecoburbia16 Livingstone StBeaconsfield,Frugal Hedonism - A guide to spending less while enjoying everything more.
Annie Raser Rowland with Adam Grubb
Let's say you could save money, inoculate yourself against many of the tills of modern life, live more lightly on the earth AND enjoy everything more on both the sensual and profound levels.
Preposterous!
Yet here is a toolkit to help you do just that. A tweak here, a twiddle there, every strategy in The Art of Frugal Hedonism has been designed to help you target the most important habits of mind and action needed for living frugally but hedonistically. Apply a couple, and you'll definitely have a few extra dollars in your pocket and enjoy more sunsets. Apply the lot, and you'll wake up one day and realise that you're happier, wealthier, fitter, and more in lust with life that you'd ever thought possible.
An absolute joy. Good natured not pious, humane not self-righteous and a guide to ethical living that makes the impossible possible. I am happy to make this my bible. Christos Tsiolkas, author of The Slap
The freest and most contented people pretty much follow the advice in The Art Of Frugal Hedonism. Clive Hamilton, co author of Affleuza
During this workshop Shani will share some insights from this amazing book , talk about how it affected her and help you see if you can incorporate it's learning to your life.
The non refundable $5 registration fee enrols you in this course. After we have finished you will be asked to pay in keeping with your circumstances from $20 - $50.
