2240bde8 fe2d 11dd 932e 000077b07658 228x300 Prairie Lights Interview with Greg JohnsonOne of my favorite books on the subject of small home living is Greg Johnson’s Put Your Life On a Diet: Lessons Learned from Living in 140 Square Feet.

What I love about this book is that it describes the journey Greg took to arrive in his 140 square foot home.  It also provides a series of chapters and workbook pages to allow the reader to consider different aspects of their own life and what would be the most meaningful lifestyle for them.  This is one of the best resources out there on how one might downsize to fit into a tiny home.

Below is an interview and book reading conducted by Prairie Lights in Iowa City that was part of the launch party for Greg’s book. In it he reads an excerpt from the book and also answers many questions on small home living.

Make yourself a cup of tea or coffee, sit down, and enjoy.

Greg Johnson is the co-founder and current president of the Small House Society.  Additional information on him and the Mobile Hermitage can be found at ResourcesforLife.com.

    Stephanie,

    Thanks for posting this! I’d heard about this book months ago, and then completely forgot about it. I’m going to go see if my library has it in stock; definitely looks like a great read.

    It’s definitely the best I’ve found out there as far as thinking through what a smaller home might mean for you personally.
