Description of More or Less by Jeff Shinabarger PDF
In “More or Less: Choosing a Lifestyle of Excessive Generosity”, Jeff makes it clear that when it comes to generosity, connection, and community, too much isn’t enough. Jeff Shinabarger is a social entrepreneur. Jeff has the vision to make Atlanta a center for social innovation and has personally engaged in over 100 start-ups solving problems through the community he leads called Plywood People.
In the book, there’s no guilt involved, just merely a challenge to ask what is enough and to make changes based on the answer. This book and Jeff’s journey has been incredibly challenging and amazing. Jeff Shinabarger tells the story of how he moved to a new home in Atlanta and the neighborhood welcoming committee showed up on his doorstep. It was a homeless guy named Clarence who was eager to let the new neighbor know he was “looking for work.” Jeff suddenly saw his life through Clarence’s eyes and realized he had an overabundance of almost everything.
This change in perspective caused Jeff and his wife to engage in a series of social experiments. For instance, after receiving a credit-card bill in January they realized they had overspent at Christmas and didn’t have the means to pay the bill. They cut back their spending and decided to see if they could go for an entire month by eating only the food in the house.
They lasted seven weeks without going to the grocery store. The author also recounts the social experiments of his friends who tried things like going without a car when theirs broke down. In all, the book is easy to read the collection of thought-provoking stories. Some readers have criticized the book for not having enough Christian content, but the author’s goal was not to be preachy. Rather, he wanted to create a sharable book for people regardless of their spiritual comfort level. In the end, the book encourages readers to make the world better, to learn from others, and to make small changes in their life with huge results for another.
