A Systems-Based Guide to Building a Sustainable Life

Logical Uncomplicated Guide

Hi John, Ron and I received the Systems Based Guide in digital and print form. I read it from cover to cover and was pleasantly surprised at the logical way all the systems were explained. I especially loved the phrase "Start with what you have." Definitely an eye opener and introduced new perspectives I haven't given thought to before. Honestly, this information calmed my nerves regarding all the systems necessary for off-grid living. Thank you, John, for writing this guide. Cheers to you! Phyllis Haddon

Comprehensive and Real

Great guide, really validated my path. Comprehensive breakdown, free of shallow nonsense, written by person who’s dealt with real stuff. From my own experience, it’s the only approach that works. Recommend for anyone starting on a tight budget. Learning and implementing this mindset helps 100% with any major life changes, either it’s moving off-grid or moving to another country, state etc. — first survive, then thrive. This guide might resonate especially with people who strive in solitude, building independence based on autonomy and without needing society’s validation.

Excellent Read- Pearl after Pearl of Wisdom Based on Experience

This is an excellent, succinct book that explains how to achieve your dreams on your own terms. Read it, pause and reflect, highlight the gold nuggets of wisdom that jump out at you, read some more. Reread often as you continue to grow into your best self and build the financial freedom and stability you desire. I would recommend that every junior high student read it to help them begin to see their own path, every senior high student read it to understand it from a realistic viewpoint of where and how to start out on their own and every adult should read it for the clarity and sense of direction it provides. It is very well written and clear about how to prioritize to achieve what you want out of life. Read and reread often. This book is a gift you give yourself, and then buy over and over for those you know who are also willing to work to achieve their dreams. It could be considered a quick read but its depth and richness will slow you down to think and reflect.
