Shannon Hayes

Awesome book, but not very fresh if you're already a homesteader. I can see how a book like this would be very reassuring for first-timers. Excellent subject matter.

Great book, not some nice theoretical ideas, everything is already tried and gathered together from all over the country, so the way of living Shannon Hayes describes is possible. Great motivation !!!

I honestly didn't want this book to end. I related to this book so much that it made me a bit depressed. It's a very honest look at how our nation is driven by corporations and consumerism, and how there are many ways to live against those principals that will make you a happier and healthier human being. I definitely want to read this again sometime, and I hope that by making small changes, little by little my family will be happier and healthier, too.

Intelligently written. Even though I do not agree with all of the suggestions or models described in the book, I highly recommend Radical Homemakers to anyone who is interested in reducing the accumulation of "stuff" and increasing happiness.
