John Lane, in his introduction to Timeless Simplicity, sums it up very succinctly:
".........life at the beginning of the 21st century is not what it should be. It seems that oor economic and technological progress has failed to bring about the good society; a higher standard of living has become the unofficial agent of oppression. It has simply failed to result in a better quality of life. Modern culture has encouraged the delusion that consumption provides a palliative for the unease which characterises many lives. This is the exact opposite of the truth. Material "solutions" to emotional problems leave behind a sense of personal dissatisfaction. A simpler lifestyle leaves space for one's spiritual renewal"
