Are You Willing To Pay The Price Of Simple & Quiet Life

In 1932, at the height of the Great Depression, a couple left New York City and moved to a farm in the Green Mountains of Vermont. They had no guarantee it would work. They had no blueprint for what a "good life" even looked like. What they had was a conviction: that city life — with its complexity, its anxiety, its constant overhead — was making genuine living impossible. This is the story of Helen and Scott Nearing, and what their experiment in voluntary simplicity can teach us about how to actually live.
