Would you rather live in Middle Earth?Escape your troublesome modern existence?Eat organic mushrooms for second breakfast before heading out to burgle Smaug?Do the problems of our modern world—Climate Change, Toxic Big Ag, and the Plastic Pollution of our oceans and fish—seem a whole lot like the threat of Sauron and The Ring ?Are you afraid you’ll awaken, one day, to a Silent Spring?Does the chaos of government corruption and corporate greed feel like the work of orcs, trolls, and Ringwraiths?How can one person ever hope to make a dent in such enormous challenges? They seem too big for any individual to tackle.Don’t you think Frodo felt the same way?But the hobbits were the very ones responsible for bringing an end to Sauron and Saruman! And YOU can be a modern hobbit! All it takes is the courage to step out of your door and be swept away into a real life adventure, against real life challenges!Best-selling author, Steve Bivans, spent decades researching the effects of Mordor on our modern world. Instead of giving in to despair, he developed a plan, a map if you will, to guide us to a better world, to build a modern Shire on Earth, one step at a time. How can we transform our chaotic world into a Shire?It's not easy, but it is Simple. We begin by transforming our own minds:Essentially evolving from Homo Sapien to Homo Hobbitla, becoming a modern hobbit! And no, you don’t have to move into a hole in the ground, or into the country. You can do it in a condo, or in the ‘burbs.’We transform our homes into hobbit holes: Minimize our stuffEat healthier and tastier food from our organic, home gardens and from local farmers marketsUse less plastic, and more sustainable materials, like Hemp, bioplastics, reclaimed wood, stone, and glass.Then we get to work in our communities and neighborhoods to turn them into little Shires!Build community gardens and farmers marketsUtilize the Sharing EconomyWork to maximize Compassion, Understanding, and Acceptance instead of FearAnd last, we export Shireness to all the World!Cut back on our use of fossil fuelsSupport clean energy initiatives and help to clean up our oceans.Vote out the Sarumans and Saurons, and vote in fellow Hobbits.From the author: “It’s hard to affect change in the world. It seems that Dark Riders and orcs are writing the story. I get it. I spent years studying the ills of our planet, and a decade studying the history of warfare (speaking of ‘ills’). It would be easy for us to throw our hands up in despair. But that would guarantee victory for the Saurons and Sarumans of our world. And I’m just not willing to let them have it! I know we can save our modern Middle Earth, if we only work together, as modern hobbits. There are some things still worth fighting for.”Will you let our world slip into Darkness?No way, Frodo! Scroll back up, click BUY NOW, and become a Hobbit.Then help us build a new Shire, and Save the Earth!

Be a hero – for yourself, your family, your communityWhen I first looked at this book my thought was “Oh, just another one of those…” I have a right to say that because I’m 71, an old hippy, was an activist for most of my life – been there, done that. I live in a tiny attic apartment, practice simplicity, walk almost everywhere I go, eat organic, recycle, and wouldn’t think of using Round-Up to poison my neighbors’ dogs or children or organic gardens. I thought I knew all about it when I became a recluse thirty years ago from knowing too much about things I couldn’t do anything about and feeling overwhelmed by sheer frustration with the ignorant people in the world who just refuse to accept responsibility for their actions.Then I read this book and felt encouraged for the first time in many years – not for me, but for the continuation of life on this planet. If enough people read it, if enough people actually take action instead of just boring their friends with “hate this” posts about government, environment, food, politics, banking, etc. – then I believe, with author Divans, that you young guys have a chance.To be honest, I did learn something that I suspected was true when my friend in Florida lost his house during the mortgage bubble fiasco, but didn’t have the facts – that “…banks essentially create money out of debt…The banks are banking on the unfortunate fact that most of us don’t have time to pay attention to what they’re doing.”The author nailed me. I had dropped the ball on “know your enemy.” Sadly, you young guys can’t afford to be so casual.But it’s not all doom and gloom. The author’s sustaining theme is “how to live in harmony with yourself, your planet, and your neighbors.” Forget about “saving the world.” Earth/Gaia can toss us fleas off her anytime she chooses! Instead, focus on your own life, how you can experience more joy. For example, consider his tips for building a sanctuary in your backyard (chapter 32).And for those of us who want to “pass gracefully,” as good stewards of Gaia, consider the ideas in chapter 33 – like becoming a tree instead of a space-consuming, health- hazard box full of chemicals.The author is gentle in his recommendations and has wisely cautioned new and old heroes alike to start small and be like Frodo or Aragon: “Try to remember how you felt when you first discovered how messed up our planet is. Maybe that was just a couple sections ago, in this very book. Or maybe you’ve known for a long time but were paralyzed—as many of us have been—by despair that your efforts might have no real consequence or weight, that the problem was just too big for one person to make a difference.”As a former change-agent (one who helps people make changes), I urge new heroes to follow his advice: “Whatever you do, DO NOT try to make too many changes at once! This is the kiss of death for any new lifestyle change. Take one small section of this book, like the food section, for example, and focus on that one for a month or two months, however long it takes to make the changes you want to make. Remember also, that the changes I suggest are only ideas of ways to help curb waste and pollution to the environment while at the same time improving the quality of life for you and your family.”Even though I am not the LOTR fan the author is, I appreciated his references, because I enjoyed the movies and actually read the books.But being familiar with Lord of the Rings, Tolkien, Frodo et.al., is certainly NOT required for reading, understanding, and making changes in your life to “Be part of the solution, not part of the problem” (the mantra that stayed on my blackboards when I taught inner-city kids in the late 60s). Or, if I were teaching in today’s culture hooked on graphic novel heroes, seeking examples of a better life, “Be a hero – for yourself, your family, your community!”

This is a paperback selfie, an excuse for the author to air his own personal rants about just about everything. It is complete with both the paranoia and the general disinformation that is the chronic disease and legitimate heritage of those whose opinion of themselves unfortunately exceeds both their education and their understanding.I'm sorry. I wanted to like this.

This interesting little book does two things. It first uses the metaphor of JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings to warn us of the nearly irreparable harm being done daily to our earth. Then, unlike other 'save the earth' efforts, this book goes on to make very clear, sane, and quite individualized suggestions as to how each and every "Hobbit" (meaning you and me) together can have a real and lasting impact, and potentially save this place we inhabit from the impending destruction toward which it is currently headed.It can only help readers to have a cursory familiarity with the setting and characters of LOTR, but it is not required. The author has made his points using those analogies, but his real story and messages are quite clearly presented. Likewise, you needn't be a 'tree-hugger' to find value in this important parable, you only need to have a heart and a mind that cares for our home in order to appreciate the message of this book.

To preachy especially about questionable science topics. Expecting more information

You should read this book.If you love The Hobbit or the Lord of The Rings, you will enjoy this book. Period.You don't need to be a fan of Tolkien though in order to really love this book. If you are new to the Eco movement, this book will serve as a great one-stop shop for introduction to pretty much every issue we need to get straightened out. If you are an experienced environmentally minded person, this book is sure to offer up information on a topic new to you. If you hope to see the world become a better place, this book will inspire you.Mr Bivans writes with a humor, and humility that makes for a fun and bouncy read. His writing is personal, touching, and fun - much like how I think of Bill Bryson books. His passion for a better world is motivating and influential.I hope the thoughts in this book spread far and wide. We could benefit from finding ourselves surrounded by Hobbits.Ted Redmondwww.bluedotregister.org

If you like a combination of Tolkien and save the earth, this book is for you.I am not a fan of Tolkien but, I enjoyed the book anyway. I just skipped all the lengthy excerpts.This is chock full of good information on how to improve your mind, body, and soul. Once you take care of yourself the earth will follow. The resource section is a user guide to improve the planet.

Kudos to an excellent treatise on actually giving a damn about the Earth. Written with excellent references to Tolkien's work, "Be a Hobbit" is one of the most "real" books I have read in years.

What an amazing book. A lot of the items in here I already do but also learned A lot especially about plastics. Great read and all the Tolkien references are fun.
