Interesting look at a man living in America with no money. I've been reading lots of books lately about men on a quest to try wildly alternative means of living in present day America. I've been looking but haven't found any books about woman on the same path. If anyone knows of any I'd love to read it. ( )

The parts detailing Daniel's ideological journey, his travels in Alaska and other countries, and his lifestyle in Moab were interesting and enjoyable, but I wish the book contained a bit more of those and not such an overabundance of quotations from other religious/philosophical sources. The quotations as chapter introductions were appropriate and well considered, but the multitude of additional ones, especially in the final wrap-up ended up being a bit much considering the book's 260-page length. Definitely a conversation-starting book to stick in your backpack during your next camping/hiking/cycling adventure vacation week in Canyonlands though. ( )

The fascinating story of a man who for the past thirteen years has managed to live self-sufficiently and quite contentedly without money and with just a few used castoff possessions he scavenged. Most people would probably not enjoy the lifestyle he lives but his story will challenge you to think about your own choices. How much of what you have is beyond what you need? What emotional and spiritual gains would you get from divesting yourself of material possessions? What is our complicity in sustaining a consumer economy that thrives on excess, exploitation, obsolescence, and waste? Those are just a few of the provocative questions this book will make you ponder. ( )

The Man Who Quit Money by Mark Sundeen is a book that I heard about when listening on day to NPR. Mark was being interviewed about his nonfiction book about Daniel Suelo, a man who abandoned all of his money in 2000 and has been living off the land ever since.

Daniel Suelo embarked on a spiritual, religious, and ethical journey trying to discover who he was and who he wanted to be. His story is incredibly interesting. Daniel makes his home in caves and finds the majority of his food from foraging in the wild and through dumpster diving.

Before you “ew” his dumpster treats, get this: most of the food he finds is fully packaged, from grocery store dumpsters, with that day’s expiration dates on them.

Okay, even still, I would NOT want to eat ANY dumpster food, no matter how sealed, but it could be way worse, right?

Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in the barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them ... Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?-- Jesus

Let us live happily, then, though we call nothing our own! We shall be like the bright gods, feeding on happiness!
-- Buddha
Home is anywhere I'm living, if its sleeping on some vacant bench in City Square
-- Merle Haggard

In the first year of the twenty-first century, a man standing by a highway in the middle of America pulled from his pocket his life savings -- thirty dollars -- laid it inside a phone booth, and walked away.

I'm employed by the universe. Since everywhere I go is the universe, I am always secure. Life has flourished for billions of years like this. I never knew such security before I gave up money. Wealth is what we are dependent upon for security. My wealth never leaves me. Do you think Bill Gates is more secure than I?
When I was a kid I thought I'd be a missionary to the heathens, but now I think maybe it's okay to be a missionary, but to the Christians, because they're the ones who need it, because they don't believe their own religion.
Then I found my liberation. I resigned myself to hell. Yes. I decided I'd rather be in hell with Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Vivekananda, Ramakrishna, Mother Teresa, Buddha, Kabir, Rumi, Peace Pilgrim and, yes, with Jesus Himself, than to be in heaven with the torturous fundamentalist mentality that thinks itself right and everybody else wrong. I decided I'd rather be in hell for love than to be in heaven for bigotry.
