Reviews
Serious Fun is a glorious invitation to each of us to feel more deeply satisfied and fulfilled as we make small, yet profoundly meaningful changes in our daily lives. Highly recommended! - Cynthia Sue Larson, New Consciousness Review 'Ingenious improvisations on money, food, waste, water and home' is what this book claims to bestow upon its readers. And that it does well. I felt genuinely motivated to be greener and I believe that other readers will too. - Kristina Lupton, Resource Magasine The book is filled with information, insight, and philosophy, all of it to make the point that we don't have to fight against the turmoil of today's world. We can find creative ways to get through it. - Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer Carolyn North has done us all a service in writing Serious Fun. If you read and heed this book, your life will be happier and healthier. Your creativity will be sparked, your imagination will be fed, and your impact on the world will be more beautiful. - John Robbins, author of best-sellers Diet for a New America, The Food Revolution, The New Good Life and others -
<p> North thinks it's time to leave the profit-rules/aggression-wins mentality behind us. She thinks it's time for fun, not because she's a hedonist, but because it's the way to survive the global changes that we are facing. --Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer (April 2011)
