Downshifting (or Voluntary Simplicity)
  "…exchanging the lifestyle of an affluent high achiever for a life where the financial rewards are far less but the satisfaction is far greater: downshifting in a nutshell." Andy Bull.

"Voluntary simplicity is about living with balance. By embracing, either partially or totally, the tenets of voluntary simplicity - frugal consumption, ecological awareness and personal growth - people can change their lives. It is not about living in poverty. Poverty is involuntary and debilitating, whereas simplicity is voluntary and enabling."
Duane Elgin.
