“Liberate yourself from the work-to-spend cycle and become a frugal
hedonist! This is the inspired message in this life-changing gem of
a book. In an age that is obsessed with consumer trinkets and
oblivious to waste, the philosophy of frugal hedonism provides a
welcome and necessary antidote. The simplicity of this message is
profound. Be frugal and be free.”--Samuel Alexander, co-director of
the Simplicity Institute
“An invaluable harvest of tips oozing with hedonistic wit and
wonder. Packed with ideas about why and how we are to live with
less to ensure we have a hell of a lot more.”--Meg Ulman, co-author
of The Art of Free Travel
“What a terrific idea, a book showing how frugal living can be
pleasurable. Not the kind of smug pleasure of the drop-out or the
feeling of moral superiority that comes with driving
a Prius (yes, that’s me), but real actual sensual
pleasure… The free-est and most contented people pretty much follow
the advice in The Art of Frugal Hedonism.”--Clive
Hamilton, author of Growth Fetish and co-author
of Affluenza (from the foreword)
“Total page turner… I just ate it up”--Davina Adamson
