For those of you hedging your bets on winning a David Wann book, here's your chance at another one.This makes for a great follow-up to the book Affluenza.
"Simple Prosperity reads like a well-loved novel, engaging and educational. David Wann offers creative solutions to the challenges of over-consumption and makes it a thoroughly enjoyable read." Jill Cloutier, Producer, Sustainable World Radio
In his bestseller Affluenza, David Wann and his co-authors diagnosed the debilitating disease of over-consumption. In Simple Prosperity he shows readers how we can overcome this disease by investing in a variety of real wealth sources. To recapture a more abundant and sustainable lifestyle, try: *Creating a richer life story through personal growth incentives
*Forming higher-yield friendships and stronger bonds through social capital
*Taking preventive healthcare measures to build up wellness reserves
*Balancing the biological budget through "greener" currency
*Caring for people, not just cars, to improve your neighborhood wealth index
*Resolving that pesky carbon conundrum through energy savings
*Celebrating instead of desecrating! Cultural prosperity futures value the earth as a sacred place
As usual, add your name to the comments for a chance to win this great new book from David Wann. The contest ends Friday, May 2nd, at 6:00 pm PST. I'll announce the winner on Saturday! Time's up!
Bonus Note: If you are starting the Extreme Eco Challenge today, I haven't totally forgotten about you! I'll be posting about it soon...

What an awesomely fun blog you have! I just got Affluenza out of the library tonight..Off to read!
Putting my name in for another, one of these just has to go my way, right. Thanks for directing some fun our way even if your reasoning is personal distraction. :-) On that note, sending happy thoughts and healthy vibes toward the Crunchy family. You're halfway through this week!
Count me in!
I hope things are going well with your husband's treatments.

Wow - this sounds like the book I've been wanting to read ... and then help those who like my idea of Buy Nothing Month, but thought they could never do it, because they "had to have something new every day." So, I am crossing my fingers that I win the book!!

Thanks!
Adding my name to the pot. Thanks Crunchy! I am serioulsy considering attempting to bike to work and I live in crazy Houston with no bike lanes. Thanks for continuing to inspire us Crunchy!
please add me in :)
Count me in, please.
I'm not entered in the Extreme Eco Throwdown but I am still making small changes. My latest is switching to bar shampoo. I buy my soap from a local goat keeper who makes Goat Milk soap. Upon comparing the ingredients in the soap to those listed on the shampoo bottle, I felt a lot better about the soap. I've only shampooed with it three times, but so far so good. It would be really cool to eliminate all those shampoo bottles lurking in our showers. I wonder, though, if I can find a replacement for conditioner? Very hard to get a comb through my longish wet hair without conditioner.
This looks like a great book. Count me in. -- Asrai
Add me to this list. This book is not available at my local library.
Please add me to the drawing! My library doesn't have this book and don't expect to any time soon (grumble!).
Thanks for doing this!
I hate to be greedy, but I'd like to be in on this one, too. (sigh) But since the odds are not in my favor, I guess putting my name in on all of them is not such a 'bad' thing...

I heart David Wann. I have this book on hold at the library. I really want to own it, but can't justify the purchase. Winning a copy would just be too cool!
I am interested
yay books!
Love your blog. I'm linking it to mine, even though mine is all about buying goodies for your girls. LOL
I, myself, and not the shopaholic that I appear to be and really have gotten quite good controlling my shopping urges.
Me!
I Look forward to reading this....
I'm putting my name in because the local library does not have a copy. If I win, I'll read it and donate it so other people can learn from it too.
Kerri in AK
This one looks like a winner too!
I'm excited to read this book. I'm going to get it if I don't win it!
I'm entering for this one too! I have in defense of food and plenty already, so despite an initial thought that they'd be great to win and give away to people who really need the education, I'm being as un-greedy as possible and only entering for books I haven't already read!
Count me in!
Please enter my name, and we are all thinking about you, your husband, and family.
Really hoping for this one.
