The Man Who Quit Money
Daniel Suelo lives in caves on public land in the Utah canyonlands, foraging blackberries and wild onions, scavenging roadkill, dumpster diving and accepting gifts from friends and strangers.
In 2000, Daniel Suelo left his life savings, just $30, in a phone booth in Moab and walked away. Twelve years later, he enjoys an apparently full and sane life without money, credit, barter or government hand-outs, fulfilling a vision of the good life inspired by his spiritual guides: Jesus, Buddha and wandering Hindu monks. The writer Mark Sundeen has written a book that traces the path and the singular idea that led Suelo to his extreme lifestyle, and he joins Doug on Friday. (Rebroadcast)
