Ed Begley Jr. has found the satisfaction of enough

“GET SATISFIED heralds a satisfaction movement in this country, and not a moment too soon. Judging from the flood of public responses to Simple Living America’s call for satisfying stories, people want fulfillment and sufficiency. What a relief for our maxed-out lives and for our maxed-out planet! Everybody finds the satisfaction of enough in different ways and this book shines a light forward on many of them. I’m glad I’m satisfied. You will be too.” —Ed Begley, Jr.
