Book Description

October 29, 2007
What do Americans need that most eludes them? This book from Postconsumers gives the real answer.

It's not a tank of cheap gas (as astonishing as that would be) or ever earlier pre-holiday sales. What Americans need most - and most of them know it - is satisfaction, especially the satisfaction of enough.

So when the call for submissions to this book went out, the mainstream response was enthusiastic. From the outpouring of personal stories submitted, the editorial committee chose these twenty to represent the broadest possible spectrum of Americans who have sought and found a simpler, more satisfying life.

5.0 out of 5 stars get satisfied book, November 22, 2007
By 
This review is from: Get Satisfied: How Twenty People Like You Found the Satisfaction of Enough (Paperback)
Very refreshing book on the simple life, proving to our society that we all can get by with less and to review our daily lives with more simplicity. This book was a culmination of personal stories very real and to the heart
warming soul of many people who are on a treadmill, with bigger homes,racing to get ahead.My compliments
to the author for coming up with this journal of real life stories and to those who took time out to contribute.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific reinforcement of enough is enough, September 5, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Particularly pertinent in this economic crisis. Much of what we all own is frivolous, simply to fulfill the want, not the need. A very satisfying read.
