gwend's review against another edition
5.0
The Ladakh people, due to their harsh, remote location in Northern India, preserved their traditional sustenance economy well into the 1970s. This book is a amazing view of what life is like untouched by Western "civilization", and its made me look at so many things differently: family relationships, child rearing, food preparation, waste disposal, free time, basically everything in our lives. Is it easy to romanticize such a traditional, simple culture? Yes. Were they truely more happy than we are? Oh yes.
