Thriving During Challenging Times
CDN Price: $ 19.95 US Price: $ 19.95

The news today is not good. A financial crisis that rivals the Great Depression, wild swings in energy prices signaling the end of cheap oil, food shortages and rising prices, water shortages throughout the planet and all the while climate change continues its relentless march forward. It’s an easy time to be discouraged, but also an excellent time to take stock of your life and make some changes. Government resources are straining and we will not be able to rely on them as we have in the past.

 It’s time to reclaim your independence to weather the storm and to bring new meaning to your life. The technological world we find ourselves in removes us from the experiences that used to be part of the rhythm of daily life. Growing your own food, heating your home without being reliant on someone else and living within your means financially. These activities bring joy to your life and help you deal with the multiple challenges that face us today. This book is a road map to get your home more independent, to get your bank account back on track and to explore how digging potatoes for dinner, or showering in water heated by the sun can provide the greatest of satisfactions. It’s time to pay down that debt, grow your own food and start integrating renewable energy and energy efficiency into your home to reduce your carbon footprint, free yourself from the stress of financial obligations, and return your spirit to its rightful place, in harmony with the simple basic things that make life a fantastic journey.
