It is effectively a philosophy of living. Now, you can read a summary on the wiki; a much longer version in the book; or you can try to piece things together from the blog, but the short story is that ERE is a set of values and principles that gives me—as well as you, if so desired—the freedom and opportunity to live an interesting and resilient life.We cover: How To Brace For A Recession With the ERE Method.
