The Wisdom of Tuscany: Simplicity, Security & the Good Life

A clear disappointment. It starts in Tuscany, but it’s a mythical Tuscany that may never have actually existed. According to the author it was, but is not quite now, idyllic in every way. He begins with each of those excellent qualities and then takes you along to other parts of the globe that compare poorly with his ideal.

There are one or two nice thoughts at the beginning, but the book is tiresome after just a little bit.

Although mainly directed towards a US audience, I enjoyed this Ferenc Máté book. Many aspects of a simpler life are very logical, but the question remains if we can really stop the ever faster wheel and escape the rat race. I'm definitely trying.

Entertaining with great recipes at the end. A good addition to his other books.
