"Since colonial days Americans have greatly admired, variously defined, and occasionally practiced the simple life. In doing so they have provided a significant shaping force in the history of American values. [] This richly illustrated anthology presents a fascinating and compelling array of original writings, woven together with Shi's illuminating commentary. The book begins with the Puritans and Quakers and ends with selections by current proponents of simple living. Among the selections are writings by John Winthrop, John and Abigail Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry D. Thoreau, John Burroughs, Scott and Helen Nearing, Lewis Mumford, and Wendell Berry. [] Though quickly displaced by the cult of more and more, the simple life has remained an elevating ideal for a resolute few. For some it has meant a life of pious austerity; for others it has entailed conscientious consumption and aesthetic creation; for a few it has resulted in withdrawal from the larger society. Yet whatever form of simplicity has been adopted, those promoting the ideal have been animated by the same common purpose: to subordinate material desires to 'higher' activities. [] For those who already identify with the ideal of simple living, IN SEARCH OF THE SIMPLE LIFE will reveal that you are in good company. For those who prefer life in the fast lane, this book will challenge your beliefs and priorities."
