Get Satisfied!
How 20 People like You Found the Satisfaction of Enough

When we hear "Sustainable Consumption," we automatically picture helping the Earth, but how often do we picture it helping our quality of life?

Check out Get Satisfied, Simple Living America's new book that explores twenty unique ways people have benefited from this connection. Each author searches for a personal formula to let go of some kind of excess and to be satisfied with life - in other words, for how to say, "This is plenty." These twenty stories span a wide and authentic gamut of lifestyle choices.

Also exploring this concept is the partner TV series on PBS stations, Simple Living with Wanda Urbanska, a personal and heartwarming look at lifestyles that tread more lightly but feel far richer than the standard "American Dream." The series is just launching its fourth (and expanded) season.
