Promise Ahead

When Duane Elgin's classic bestseller, Voluntary Simplicity, was published in 1981, it transformed thousands of lives.

It has been hailed as the "bible" of the simplicity movement by the Wall Street Journal.

Now, based on 30 years of research, this sequel reveals the next steps we must take in order to secure personal and planetary well-being.

Delving behind the headlines to reveal the deeper currents that are changing lives today, Promise Ahead is a call to action for everyone to do their part by becoming practical activists in their own lives, and taking control of how they consume, communicate, relate to others and see their role in the larger universe.
