The Pleasures Of Poverty

An intriguing and challenging work, The Pleasures of Poverty turns conventional wisdom and societal norms on their head, arguing that a life of poverty can be not only fulfilling, but deeply satisfying in ways that wealth cannot. Whether or not readers ultimately agree with Southwick's radical thesis, this thought-provoking book will inspire conversations and debates for years to come.
