A Different Kind of Luxury: Japanese Lessons in Simple Living

Andy Couturier will show slides and discuss his new book about people living simple, sustainable, extraordinary lives in rural Japan. A Different Kind of Luxury conveys the texture of the lives of farmers, artists, philosophers and craftspeople who've made the transition to a slower, more satisfying life of reduced consumption and increased satisfaction with a deeper connection to the natural world. The talk will also touch on the intentional choices these people have made in their lives.
