Your Money or Your Life: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving
Finanical Independence
Joe Dominguez, Vicki Robin
First published in 1992, this "bible of voluntary simplicity" is now expanded
and updated. This book teaches you how to not only manage finances but how to integrate
them with the rest of your life. The authors, Joe and Vicki, have thrived for more
than 20 years on about $6,000 a year of investment income each. Both gave up successful
careers in order to live more deliberately and meaningfully, and they evenntually
developed a seminar that has helped many others achieve the same sort of financial
freedom. In this book they outline their nine-step program for transforming the way
we think about, earn, and spend money. $19.99.
 No Logo
Naomi Klein
"Equal parts cultural analysis, journalistic exposé and mall-rat memoir,
from one of the most insightful and respected young commentators in North America
today, No Logo explains the bad mood rising against the brands. Without realizing
it, multinationals have militarized their opposition. The corporate hunger to homogenize
our communities and monopolize public expression is creating a wave of public resistance,
highlighted by the guerilla tactics of the angry young. No Logo plots the
story of rebellion in the face of our branded world, placing it in clear economic
and pop-historical perspective." $35.95.
 Natural Capitalism
Amory Lovins, Hunter Lovins,
Paul Hawken
Give this book to anyone who despairs about the state of the environment, or to any
stock market investor you know who wants to get in on the next big stock market win.The
Wall Street Journal named Amory Lovins among 28 people in the world most likey to
change the course of business in the 1990s. As Lovins and Hawken see it, our fragile
ecosystem will never be saved unless someone is able to make money doing so. And
they go on to demonstrate with numerous examples the numerous things that can and
in fact are being done. Full of vision and inspiration. $36.00.

The Uncooling of America
Kalle Lasn

who see themselves as 'shock troopers,' aiming to change the way information flows,
the way institutions wield power, the way television stations are run and the way
the food, fashion, automobile, sports, music and culture industries set their agenda."

so. Russell has updated his best selling Global Brain.

 It's A Meaningful Life
Bo Lozoff
Co-founder of the Human Kindness Foundation and its Prison-Ashram Project, Bo Lozoff
has brought spiritual practice and resources to thousands of people behind bars.
His street-wisdom, humour, huge heart, and practical hands have been distilled into
this lovely book which helps each of us discover the "vast lane" in an
era when the "fast lane" seems to have taken over the whole highway of
life.The roots of happpiness, he says, are not found in the search for success or
self-improvement but in a commitment to a personal spiritual practice ("The
Inner Journey of Communion") combined with the outward practice of compassion
and unselfish service to others ("The Outer Path Toward Community"). Bo's
emphasis on doing something, his get-to-the-heart-of-it and keep-it-simple sanity,
and his open heart resonate through this book.$33.99.
