"Captivating... Suelo emerges as a remarkable and complex character... Sundeen brings his subject vividly to life [and] makes a case for Suelo's relevance to our time." -The Seattle Times
"Exquisitely timed... The Man Who Quit Money is a slim, quick read that belies the weightiness underneath. The very quality that makes us see a "man walking in America" (Suelo's words) and be simultaneously attracted and repelled is exposed here in beautiful detail." -The Missoula Independent
"In America, renunciation breaks the rules, but, as everyone evicted from Zuccotti Park or bludgeoned at Berkeley or just steamed in-between knows, the rules require breaking. Sundeen... sets out to understand the process and logic behind a money-free lifestyle while tracing the spiritual, psychological, physical, and philosophical quest that led this particular man to throw over our society's arguably counterfeit-yet-prevailing faith in money, or, more precisely, in debt." -The Rumpus"A fascinating subject... both resonant as a character study and infinitely thought-provoking in its challenge to all our preconceptions about modern life--and about the small and large hypocrisies people of all philosophies and religious paths assume they need to accept." -The Salt Lake City Weekly
"Thoughtful and engrossing biography that also explores society's fixation with financial and material rewards...Although few readers will even consider emulating Suelo's scavenger lifestyle, his example will at least provoke some serious soul-searching about our collective addiction to cash." -Booklist
In 2000, Daniel Suelo left his life savings-all thirty dollars of it-in a phone booth. He has lived without money-and with a newfound sense of freedom and security-ever since.
The Man Who Quit Money is an account of how one man learned to live, sanely and happily, without earning, receiving, or spending a single cent. Suelo doesn't pay taxes, or accept food stamps or welfare. He lives in caves in the Utah canyonlands, forages wild foods and gourmet discards. He no longer even carries an I.D. Yet he manages to amply fulfill not only the basic human needs-for shelter, food, and warmth-but, to an enviable degree, the universal desires for companionship, purpose, and spiritual engagement. In retracing the surprising path and guiding philosophy that led Suelo into this way of life, Sundeen raises provocative and riveting questions about the decisions we all make, by default or by design, about how we live-and how we might live better.
