Jacqueline Blix and David Heitmiller are a married couple who grew determined to downscale their fast-track world after reading the revolutionary bestseller Your Money or Your Life. Now self-described "reformed yuppies" who have been following that book's nine-step program of voluntary simplicity since 1991, they relate their experiences--and those of more than two dozen others--in Getting a Life. A dynamic companion to the work that spurred them to action, Blix and Heitmiller's book is packed with inspiring anecdotes as well as practical suggestions for transforming frantic, materialistic behavior into a slower-paced, more fulfilling existence.
