"Segal articulates a message that is both revolutionary and just plain sensible--consume less and take time to enjoy life more. He rescues us from a consumerism gone haywire without advocating isolationism. In a new and better way we are still our brother's keeper."--Arlie Russell Hochschild, author of "The Time Bind: When Work Becomes Home and Home Becomes Work "
"Segal wants a political movement to create a functioning public sector, complete with universal health insurance and a sturdy safety net. Numerous and powerful interest groups will fight such reforms with bitter determination. But what could provide a better source of drama and adventure than the struggle to make the simpler life a viable option for all?"--Barbara Ehrenreich, "Civilization"
