"My friend Matt loaned me this book. He was very clearly excited about the ideas presented here, particularly community housing. I can see why he is so excited. There are some very appealing ideas the author conveys. I basic idea is that people can live in smaller homes, being more ecologically concerned, and improve their lives and the lives of those around them. I like the idea of building your own home and specially keeping it small so that you can own it outright or in a few years rather than on a 30+ year mortgage. The author talks a lot about finding financial freedom through smaller living. There are a lot of other currently popular ideas that go along with the small housing, such as gardening, using alternative power sources, reducing consumerism, using ecologically sound building materials, etc. I like a lot of what is presented in this book and I feel like it meshes with some of the changes I've made recently in my thinking about being more environmentally friendly, caring for my family, being healthier and happier, and keeping the consumer in me at bay. I don't know if I could personally live in a much smaller home than I already live in, not to mention living in a co-housing community, but I think the book will shape some of my future thoughts an opinions on what I want to do and where I want to go. Thanks Matt."
"This is a book you may never think to browse at the bookstore, but I recommend you do so. It triggered a paradigm shift for me in the way I think of "home". There's a reason the "small house movement" has been sweeping the country in this age of McMansions and ritualistic compulsive consumption."
