Scott Savage

In today's fast paced high-tech world the most radical act of all might be this: slow down ... to try, in each moment, to be truly, fully present. Scott Savage spent 10 years trying to do that by embracing his Quaker faith with his wife and family, rejecting the trappings of modern life technology and media. Then Scott decided to seal the deal by terminating his driver's license.

A collection of essays from "Plain Magazine," produced by hand by Scott Savage and friends. Written by individuals from all around, deeply invested in simple living. They offer "solace, wisdom, joy, and quiet space for contemplation" (quote from the back cover). As Bill McKibben says in his foreword: "This is a book, finally, about joy."
