Downloaded! Thanks! Although I'm assuming these can only be read on a computer screen or a Kindle reader? (I wasn't seeing anything on Amazon to be able to download to a PDF file so that you can print it off yourself).

You can read it in ePub form using Calibre: http://calibre-ebook.com

Hello PS,

unfortunately I was not able to find a way to read it online.

Would you be so kind to send it to me as PDF?

Thank you

Thanks Desert, that's great to hear.

For everyone who got a copy: if you enjoy it, please consider helping me out by leaving me a review on Amazon. Thanks!

Frugal, if you are that keen to read it and downloading the free ebook proved too complicated for you, you can simply buy the paperback. It is not expensive.

I just ordered a paperback version from Amazon. 12 bucks including shipping. Probably 11 Euros. If the book is any good, I'll swim it over to Portugal so that we can all get back to figuring out religion and the merits adding a slice of SCV to the HBPP!

I only like to read purple. Would someone be willing to hand copy this book with Noodler's saguaro wine ink on good parchment, sew & bind, and then mail it to me?

One more plug for Jake here ... if you haven't already, check out his podcasts on http://www.thevoluntarylife.com/.  There's some great material out there.  I've become a bit addicted to the podcasts this past week, listening to them during my commute.  Jake's vocal style is guaranteed to reduce your blood pressure by at least 10 points.  But seriously, there's some great material out there.  I don't have the mental makeup (or the wife) for nomadic life, but I think a lot of Jake's ideas could apply to minimalists of every sort. 

Thanks for your kind words Desert.

Jake, I particularly liked the podcast with your wife as the guest.  She sounds like she might actually still like you, even after you sold all her stuff and dragged her around the globe. 

She had a good laugh when I showed her that

Great book, Jake. 

Thanks for making it available to us.  I just finished reading it.  Even though I'm retired (and Job Free  ) I found the advice you give to be spot on.  I slightly fit your "extreme saver" category (I was a pretty good saver during my working years but not extreme).  I especially liked the chapter on psychology, something many books on this topic leave out.  I found the story of Peter to be both good for the influence it had on you, but sad for Peter losing his way in pursuit of money (and short term conquests) as an end, not a means to the important. 

In my opinion, it is so very important to to understand what is of true value and not chase the superficial - material things can be just that.  Relationships and a strong clear vision of where one is headed based upon external sources of dependable promises are everything ... at least for me.  Thanks again for writing the book, I enjoyed it.

My lady and I had dinner with Pointedstick last night and he raved about your books and podcast. Seeing as I quit my job and started a consulting business a few months ago, we're 6 weeks out from moving to SE Asia and in the middle of giving away everything that doesn't fit in a carry-on size backpack, I'm a rabid libertarian, and we're both experiencing something of an existential crisis: this recommendation couldn't have been more timely. I bought your book for Kindle and one of your podcasts is playing right now. Jake, you have a new fan .

Thanks Mountaineer and Gabe!

Just curious, is the free copy still available?

Nope, it's $4 now.

Although the giveaway is over as Dualstow says, I'm still happy to give review copies in kindle format for those interested in reviewing it on Amazon. If you would like a review copy, send me your email in a private message.

I heard The podcast but didnt read the book.

Regarding furgallity and early retirement most things are common sense and a matter of creativity.
