I have a dire sense with this movment . Simply because this author claims it is fact . If people take it in spirit and use the inspiration to move into sustainable lifestyles - Great ! If they associate the lifestyle with this mans tale too literally and their gullability crumbles then so goes the lifestyle . I
think alot of us got into earth based lifestyles through fiction . With me "My side of the Mountain " and the "Lord of the Rings " . Can not discount the reaching back to the Ancient Earth Spirits in music like
Led Zepplin and Van Morrison etc. Sustainability can not be a cult or passing fad to be successful . But taking into account this authors trade I say whatever floats their boat .
