The Self Suficient-ish Bible by Andy & Dave Hamilton
***
"The green twins, Andy and Dave Hamilton, founders of the hugely popular website http://www.selfsufficientish.com/, will give you advice on how to live in a more frugal way, whilst still enjoying life to the full. They offer a positive and fun approach, accepting that adjusting every aspect of our lives is too overwhelming for most of us-hence self-sufficientish."
This guidebook is organized into four categories: home, outdoors, food, and lifestyle. The information is straight-forward and practical, which is usually right up my alley. For some reason, though, I couldn't bring myself to really dive into this book. Perhaps it's a bit too wordy, or maybe the subjects could have been broken down in a different way. It just didn't appeal to me. I do like the notion promoted within that, "greening" your life can be done in stages, so as not to become overwhelming and ending up changing nothing.
Thanks for the link, Daisy. I've never heard of these guys...
ReplyDeleteI have never seen that book. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteI was reading another book today (Twelve by Twelve: A One-Room Cabin Off the Grid and Beyond the American Dream ) and the author mentioned The Self Sufficient-ish Bible, it reminded me that is has been awhile since I've read it and probably time to read it again. How fun to be reminded of it here in your post too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteTami-Always good to learn something new, eh?
ReplyDeleteJane-I hope you will enjoy it.
Heather-I always look for those connections. There are no coincidences to my way of thinking. Happy reading!
