"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." --Leonardo da Vinci

Duane Elgin On Voluntary Simplicity

Duane Elgin is an unusual social visionary, one with an MBA from Wharton and a master's degree in economic history. He is a passionate advocate for shifting away from the consumer mentality which has driven history for hundreds of years. According to Elgin we are now in a time of great transition, a time that can no longer sustain the materialism of a consumerist society, and that calls for new ways of living in the world. In this wide-ranging interview he discusses everything from the practice of inner simplicity, to the aliveness of the universe, and the importance of living one's true gifts.
