The Self-Sufficient Life and How to Live It Review: Amazing Book that is Changing My Life - I bought this book because I have started gardening in my small yard. I have also planted apple, plum, and cherry trees around the house. I decided to really step up my game and added chickens to the mix. I really enjoy my new hobby, but I realized quite quickly that I need to have a clear and comprehensive plan before I get too much further along. I don't want to wake up next spring and realize I've destroyed my home and my yard. I bought this book because of the other reviews I read. This book is truly changing my life. I have created such an ambitious agenda for the next few years. I have a 1250 sq. foot home on a 100' x 100' lot in the center of Joplin, Missouri. I am going to have an off the grid home and be self sufficient in five years. I am not going to spend very much money getting started, the author presents creative ways of dealing with problems without running to the hardware store. A good example is the coop for the chickens made with branches, poultry wire, and the empty feed bags. I bought a $200 dollar chicken coop that is already struggling to hold itself together in the Missouri weather. I could have built the coop in the book for next to nothing. This book is so detailed and amazing about every facet of this lifestyle. I have probably read it twice now and many of the sections much more than that. I recommend this book to you. It is illustrated beautifully and it has become my go to book for almost everything that comes up with my new hobby. If you are a devotee of the back to the earth movement, and a closet prepper like myself (my shameful secret). This book will take a prominent place on your library shelf. I have bought a couple of other books that are more survival in a doomsday situation. I'm not a prepper, daydreaming of the end of the world. I'm a prepper that wonders if my 401K could vanish in another future wall street scandal and SSI might disappear from mismanagement or neglect. My kind of prepping is the kind found in this book. It is the victory garden of my grandparents generation or the cottage garden of peasants in the old country. This book is wonderful. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you let me know if this recommendation helped you. Review: #1book for self sufficient lifestyle, others fall short - I purchased it used, but it looks new. It does have a library card and pocket attached to it and some small minor notes in the back cover but this is the best self-sufficient book out there. I purchased three other and they fall short. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #132,314 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #108 in Gardening & Horticulture Reference (Books) #136 in Gardening Encyclopedias #147 in Organic & Sustainable Gardening & Horticulture | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (349) | | Dimensions | 8.75 x 1.2 x 11.13 inches | | Edition | 0100- | | ISBN-10 | 0756654505 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0756654504 | | Item Weight | 3.9 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 408 pages | | Publication date | August 17, 2009 | | Publisher | DK | ## Images ![The Self-Sufficient Life and How to Live It - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-XN69i8fL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Book that is Changing My Life *by M***3 on November 5, 2015* I bought this book because I have started gardening in my small yard.
