The bestselling classic guide to living a more sustainable way of life from one of the fathers of the self-sufficiency movement.

For more than 50 years, John Seymour has inspired thousands to make more responsible, eco-friendly life choices. The Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency is his much-loved manifesto for living “the good life”, covering all you need to know to go off-grid: how to grow your own produce, make compost, raise livestock, forage, brew beer, make cheese, spin wool, and even generate your own energy.

While we aren’t all able to escape to the countryside, we can take small steps towards a better way of life. This timeless guide to green living will inspire anyone who has ever sought solace away from the madness of the modern world.

‘Seymour lived the life himself. He put in the graft and sweat and enjoyed the sweet rewards, and that’s why this book is as authoritative as it is accessible.’ - Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
