Going Off the Grid: The How-To-Book of Simple Living and Happiness Review: Very informative book - easy to read and understand for the layperson - I am looking to buy land, build a house and retire in a rural area - somewhere in the Northwest like Montana. I have bought several books so I can hear different perspectives and make sure I cover all my bases before making the plunge. I am also hoping to reduce the chance of mistake or at least minimize mistakes - and costs related to those mistakes. This is my second book to read so far. I liked that the author covered most of my points of interest (off grid power, water wells, security, and communications - like cell phone and internet). The author also covered quite a bit of other things that were not on the forefront of my interests, but equally as important - such as dealing with general contractors and financing. One thing that I thought was great about the book was that the author provided examples of price ranges. Yes...we could all get everything we want if cost was not a factor. But it is good to understand what things may cost so we can determine affordability. For example, knowing how much power is generated from solar makes you start to realize that you may have to pick and choose what appliances and gadgets you will be able to run if you need to stay within a certain price range. Otherwise, you will do without until the sun comes back out!! Haha All in all, it was a very good book, provided some great information, introduced some good resources, and gave a very good perspective of his research and experiences. I would recommend this book to anyone starting their journey to explore living off grid. UPDATE: Now that I have read another book, I would say this one was even better than I originally posted - if that could happen. Definitely stand by my positive review. Also, what differentiated this book from the other was this one actually provided different options with a little background on them. The other one only discussed what that family was doing and the author kept repeating that the reader should do research. I will probably be re-reading this book after I read my other books. Review: Great advice - The author is definitely someone I would enjoy having a beer with. He gives wonderful insight into the great aspects of The Simple Life while not letting you think it is an easy process. He tells his story wonderfully and keeps it real the whole time. Great starter if you are thinking of this lifestyle. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,648,568 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #490 in Sustainability & Green Design #542 in Outdoor & Recreational Area Gardening #1,908 in Do-It-Yourself Home Improvement (Books) | | Book 1 of 2 | Off The Grid Series | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (895) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.5 x 8.5 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1570673543 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1570673542 | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 165 pages | | Publication date | January 15, 2017 | | Publisher | Second Nature Publishing | ## Images ![Going Off the Grid: The How-To-Book of Simple Living and Happiness - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wqf37a7LL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very informative book - easy to read and understand for the layperson *by C***E on December 28, 2017* I am looking to buy land, build a house and retire in a rural area - somewhere in the Northwest like Montana.

He gives wonderful insight into the great aspects of The Simple Life while not letting you think it is an easy process. He tells his story wonderfully and keeps it real the whole time. Great starter if you are thinking of this lifestyle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good general intro to living off the grid *by I***N on August 17, 2020* I thoroughly enjoyed this easy, quick read to living off the grid. I am very new to this world, and it touched on many aspects I had not given adequate / any thought about. Understandably, its very American based and being in Cape Town, South Africa, some aspects were irrelevant or off the mark. If you're brand new to this world - it's a great introduction. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/54978111-going-off-the-grid-the-how-to-book-of-simple](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/54978111-going-off-the-grid-the-how-to-book-of-simple) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
