I'd like to recommend a good book for those who want to feel happy with a simple lifestyle - a part-time job, small home or rented property. It's a book about shunning society's image of success (materialism and careerism) -- "Choosing Simplicity" by Linda Breen Pierce. Another interesting one is "How to Want what you HAVE" by TImothy ----. I'll have to look up the author's name.
