Book Review: Put Your Life on a Diet

Put Your Life on a Diet by Gregory Paul Johnson

I just finished this book the other day and thought it was very interesting.  Gregory Johnson is one of the founders of the Small Living movement and had some good tips for paring down.  I really like the idea of "outsourcing" your living space and needs.  For example, if you do your laundry at a laundromat of exercise at at gym, you don't need to own and maintain equipment that you don't use every day.  You are basically renting and sharing the upkeep of those services with others.

Not everything in his book, which is part workbook, is needed or applicable to us but it's a good first step if you are considering a small living type of change.

Here is an excerpt from the book via Natural Home's site.  You can also visit Gregory's site at Resources for Life.
