A compelling tale of living simply in a world that demands we consume more, build bigger and accumulate stuff, Radical Simplicity is a must have for anyone who feels the pull to make a change for the better.

Author Dan Price, a Thoreau for the twenty-first century, has helped champion a growing trend that’s been variously referred to as “downshifting,” “opting out,” or “simple living.” What makes his book so different and engaging is that he speaks from the authenticity of first-hand experience, for Price is an American original who has made his dreams a reality. His message is: “You can live a life of freedom, in harmony with the rhythms of nature, and your own internal rhythm and creativity. You can live very well with very little money. That’s what I’ve done, and I can show you how.”

This is as much a “reading” book as a how-to guide, one that expresses its profound insights into carving out a life of meaning in a beautiful, practical way. It is bound to strike a chord with world-weary baby boomers as well as time-pressured but still idealistic members of the younger generation.

Kim & Jason is celebrating 8 years of laughter and fun!

In the beginning there was comic strip with it’s own books. Then the characters made their way to fun greeting cards. Then matted and framed prints with positive messages. All of them filled with messages of returning to childhood to escape adulthood

Then our Kim & Jason shop exploded into a Lemonade Stand of unique gifts to help fight adultitis.

Check out big hits and cool birthday gear.

One of the coolest projects to come out from the creative playful minds of Kim and Jason Kotecki is the Escape Plan Journal: a 40-Day Plan to Annihilate Adultitis in Your Life.

This book is filled with all forty challenges designed to help you rid yourself of the Adultitis in your life. As we celebrate 8 years of Escaping Adulthood and encouraging others to do the same, the Escape Plan Journal is a great way to jump in!

Adultitis is a silent epidemic that has been ignored for far too long. It’s a disease that slowly erodes our inborn childlike spirit, killing our dreams, curiosity, faith, happiness, and hope. It stresses us out. It causes us to take ourselves too seriously. And in some extreme cases, it can cause smile amnesia. (Not fun.)

If you’re ready to do something about your case of Adultitis, this is the book for you! It includes 40 step-by-step challenges designed to get you thinking and acting in a more childlike manner. You’ll read how other people have solved each challenge, and keep a record of your own remarkable progress using the journal pages. We guarantee that you’ll be stretched. You’ll have fun. And that case of Adultitis? It’ll be ancient history and you’ll be well on your way to a happier, more exhilarating life.

This journal is 192 spiral-bound pages full of stories, photos and blank space to journal your experience. A great vaccine for $24.95, the Monday Madness prescription is only $17.47 - today only!
