Non-Fiction Memoir
A Walden for the 21st century, the true story of a
man who has radically reinvented "the good life".
In 2000, Daniel Suelo left his life savings-all
thirty dollars of it-in a phone booth. He has lived without
money-and with a newfound sense of freedom and security-ever
since. The Man Who Quit Money is an account of
how one man learned to live, sanely and happily, without
earning, receiving, or spending a single cent. Suelo doesn't
pay taxes, or accept food stamps or welfare. He lives in
caves in the Utah canyonlands, forages wild foods and
gourmet discards. He no longer even carries an I.D. Yet he
manages to amply fulfill not only the basic human needs-for
shelter, food, and warmth-but, to an enviable degree, the
universal desires for companionship, purpose, and spiritual
engagement. In retracing the surprising path and guiding
philosophy that led Suelo into this way of life, Sundeen
raises provocative and riveting questions about the
decisions we all make, by default or by design, about how we
live-and how we might live better.
