In the mountains of Vermont, Scott and Helen Nearing fulfilled their dream of a good life. Numerous visitors and interested individuals came to their farm to see with their own eyes how a simple life in the countryside could be lived. Their book "Living the Good Life" became a cult book of the back-to-the-land movement. Helen and Scott Nearing became symbols for all those seeking alternatives and a better life, far beyond the borders of the United States during the 1950s and 1960s. However, they too were eventually caught up by civilization. The untouched natural landscape gradually transformed into a thriving ski resort. As a result, Helen and Scott Nearing decided to start over once again. In their book "Continuing the Good Life," published by pala-verlag, they describe their life.
