Sobre el autor

Helen Nearing left city life with her husband, Scott, nearly sixty years ago to move first to Vermont and then to their farm in Harborside, Maine. The Nearings' food and living philosophies have provided the guidelines for many who seek a simpler way of life.

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 8 de diciembre de 2024I've purchased this book for friends who wanted to live off grid, and myself (twice now!) because it's such a lovely read. Another cool book to buy is Maine Farm by Stanley Joseph and Lynn Karlin,

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 23 de enero de 2011I read this book over New Year's break in 2011, 40 some years after it was written! And yet I found that it best addresses every bit of today's issue for the average American than anything else. Off all the books I have read, including those written today, on the topic of simple, natural, and Self-sufficient living, I found that this spoke to me the most. It is written in simple, clear, inclusive language, gets right to the point and with remarkable honesty about the various details of their lives. Clearly Helen and Scott were visionaries and way ahead of their time, which explains the unfortunate circumstances that they found themselves in with regards to the current culture. This is by far the most inspiring and enlightened couple of all time, a couple in the True sense. I don't believe there was a single instance of "I" in this book; it was always "We."
This is a recommended read for lovers of the simple, natural, and handmade life! Another book I enjoyed is Helen's cookbook "Simple Food for The Good Life" ... very informative and great recipes for vegetarian/vegan diet!

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 23 de enero de 2003'The Good Life' consists of two previously published books: 'Living the Good Life' and 'Continuing the Good Life'. Both books have completely different flavors. 'Living the Good Life' (1954) was written in the Nearings' still youthful and rebellious years, while 'Continuing the Good Life' (1979) shows the Nearings in a mellowed, tolerant old age.
Living the Good Life has some very useful information on gardening, food storage, and stone construction. The book is a mix of practical advice and the Nearings' philosophy of living, which includes self-reliance, vegetarianism, and socialism or communism. The authors do a good job of outlining their "design for living". A plethora of quotes tends to disrupt the writing.
The Nearings move from New York City to the Vermont hills, but say little of how they learned "the good life". Much of the book was written as though the authors knew better than the Vermont natives from the start. Surely, there were some humbling moments and follies that they experienced, but none are related. A little self-deprecation would have made the Nearings more likeable.
The authors had attempted to establish a commune or socialistic village in Vermont. However, the independent country folk refused to buy into their collective experiments. With only a handful of members, the Nearings made little economic or social progress. With intense scorn regarding the independence of rural America, the Nearings admit failure of their experiment and move off to Maine.
'Continuing the Good Life' abandons the philosophical ranting found in the first book and focuses on practical advice for modern homesteaders. The Nearings even relax some of their own vegetarian beliefs, as evidenced by eating dairy products and occasional eggs. By abandoning much of their preaching, they become more likeable. Although some of their endeavors are amusing, such as building a 1.5 acre pond with pick, shovel, wheelbarrow, and some concrete, we respect them for adhering to their beliefs and having so much energy at such an advanced age.

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 12 de agosto de 2019The Nearings are gone, but their tale is still told. They touched many lives and made us want to go back to the earth and grow our own veggies and live a life separate from the worlds idea of plastic wrapped foods. I think they have a lot to say even today. We can benefit from their wisdom. To change ones life style takes guts and strength and money to purchase the land and venture forth on your quest. Most like modern comforts at the push of a button. Some of us do not, some like both....learn from them and nature. Heath is so important with wholesome foods and its missing now for many.

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 27 de noviembre de 2005These books have inspired me to start my own farm and live a life of simplicity and hard work. I share some of the strong principals that Scott and Helen Nearing had. I only wish I had their courage.
Once you have read their books do some research on Scott and Helen then you will learn why they were the way they were. Scott was a real Pain in the *** to a lot of folks prior to the great depression. His ideas on child labor were way ahead of his time. Helen was his soul mate and partner and a darn good writer in her own right.
They both lived long lives Scott 100, Helen 91 she was killed in an auto accident. With their strong beliefs and not always endearing manners they weren't always appreciated by their neighbors and friends.
However, they were right about so many things and inspired so many people they became cult heros during the sixties and beyond. These books are about them as much as about their farm.

Absolutely loved the book. What they are doing is what I wish I had the courage to do. I skipped all the quote pages (one before each chapter) but this didn't take away from the read and I think some people might actually enjoy them.

Gordon HarrisCalificado en Canadá el 26 de abril de 20155.0 de 5 estrellas This was an excellent review of the previous books
This was an excellent review of the previous books, which I read years ago. I turned down several page corners so I could review them again as I need the information when planting my new garden. I skipped the parts about building stone houses as I don't plan to build one, but other readers who do plan that will get many great ideas from that chapter.
I would recommend this book to anyone who plans to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
