macdonald has such a silly, down-to-earth sense of humor. he's genuine and that makes him and his story so appealing. it didn't inspire me to start trading things like i expected it to. it actually did the exact opposite. this book isn't about material possessions and how to turn less into more. it's about helping your fellow man. it reignited my faith in humanity at a point in my life where i began considering alienating every single person in my life wouldn't be so bad. if you're not one to be inspired, it was an interesting, real, entertaining story.   hide

Interesting concept. His blog says that he is now trying to trade his house.
