Speaking from experience is one of the more compelling ways to give quality advice, which is something that Woody Harrelson and his friends put to good use in How To Go Further: A Guide to Simple Organic Living (2005, Warwick Publishing). It's not always to take what celebrities and other high-profile people say at face value, but when it's backed up with real-world examples and personal anecdotes that serve to both entertain and inform, it can be quite inspiring.
The book has its roots in 2001's "Simple Organic Living (SOL) Tour," where Woody and his pals -including a yoga teacher, a raw food chef, and a confessed "junk-food junkie"-rode their bikes down the Pacific coast and to talk to people about how to lead a happier, healthier life, while using less of the world's resources (the journey was also documented by filmmaker Ron Mann in the documentary Go Further). The journey turned out to be a life (and lifestyle) changer for Harrelson, who is able to go beyond simple posturing to share his personal account of his transformation from a self-proclaimed "corporate drug addict" to raw-food lover and yoga enthusiast.The book covers a wide range of topics that Harrelson himself has learned about over the past few years, including organic food, alternative energy, yoga, and political activism, and includes writing from some of the tour's other participants, as well as from well-known activists such as John Schaeffer, founder and president of Real Goods, a company devoted to creating alternative energy options (which has since teamed up with Gaiam), and Howard "Twilly" Cannon, former skipper of Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior. Though each contributor has their own unique point of view, each is united by one simple credo: Through the actions of a single committed individual the world can change for the better.
Naturally, the book itself gives a nod to sustainability, printed on 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper using vegetable-based soy pigments. Like a green lifestyle itself, How To Go Further combines its materials and ideas to create an entertaining resource for both people new to the eco-movement, as well as for those looking for even more inspiration and reasons to step with lighter footprints on the planet.
