THE NEW GOOD LIFE Living Better Than Ever in an Age of Less

This is a thoughtful book on how truth and purpose in our relationship with money can give us more opportunity to feel fulfilled, creative, and free. The author’s personal narrative—he rejected his Baskin Robbins inheritance, lived off the grid, lost a fortune to Bernie Madoff—is poignant and inspiring. With accessible writing, he explains how to spend on transportation, housing, energy, health care, housecleaning, and children without slipping into wasteful, planet-damaging habits. Paul Boehmer’s flawless performance, both arresting and comfortable, adds a classy patina to this transformational book. He modulates his intensity imperceptibly to convey surprise or sanguine wisdom, humility, and introspection. In the storytelling sections as well as the author’s exercises and advice, Boehmer has total control. T.W. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2012]
