great stuff

For a reinstatement that there are alternatives to the normal workaholic American strategy for making a living, check out the simple living network link to the right.

In particular, review:

un-jobbing: the adult liberation handbook.

and Affluenza...this is a program that question the american dream and its values. Produced by PBS!

This is great stuff guys...

And the classic, Your Money or Your Life, which struck a chord with me when I first hear of it. My freshman year in college when the authors were on Oprah. Go figure, Oprah, spreading a word that is counter-culture. I also really enjoyed reading, "How to survive without a salary" by Charles Long.

The movement away from The American Dream is and has always been there. There have always been a group of people discontented with the value system of the majority. That would be me, us and people who actually enjoy reading this stuff.

The thing is...what we are seeing now with such movies as 'an inconvenient truth'...is that the values of desire and the majority have been and are putting our lives and our planet at risk. It's just not a matter of survival, but of quality of life of that survival...time for a change...
