Background & perspective

Your Money or Your Life presents money as a translation of the time and energy spent earning it. Its program asks readers to observe spending, reduce debt, build savings and construct a life aligned with their values instead of pursuing accumulation for its own sake.4,1

Vicki Robin has also worked on simple living, community resilience and local food. Blessing the Hands That Feed Us recounts a month in which she ate within a ten-mile radius of her home in order to examine the relationships among food, place and community.2,5
