Mark Sundeen
In 2000, Daniel Suelo left his life savingsâ€”all thirty dollars of itâ€”in a phone booth. He has lived without moneyâ€”and with a newfound sense of freedom and securityâ€”ever since. ,The Man Who Quit Money, is an account of how one man learned to live, sanely and happily, without earning, receiving, or spending a single cent. Suelo doesn't pay taxes, or accept food stamps or welfare. He lives in caves in the Utah canyonlands, forages wild foods and gourmet discards. He no longer even carries an I.D. Yet he manages to amply fulfill not only the basic human needsâ€”for shelter, food, and warmthâ€”but, to an enviable degree, the universal desires for companionship, purpose, and spiritual engagement. By retracing the surprising path and guiding philosophy that led Suelo from an idealistic childhood through youthful disillusionment to his radical reinvention of "the good life," Sundeen raises provocative and riveting questions about the decisions we all makeâ€”by default or by designâ€”about how we live. ,The Man Who Quit Money, inspires us to imagine how we might live better.
