Overview:

Intimate and evocative, The Abundance of Less profiles ten men and women who have left mainstream life in urban Japan to live surrounded by the luxuries of nature, art, friends, delicious food, and an abundance of time.

The ten people describe the profound personal transformations they underwent as they escaped the stress, consumerism, busyness, and dependence on technology of modern life to establish fulfilling lives as farmers and artists who rely on themselves for happiness and sustenance. Their journeys show us how we too can travel a meaningful path by living simply, growing rich in a whole new way, and discovering true success by having a life that matters.
