Description:
Gregory Smith explains how after a decade living as a recluse in a rainforest he rejoined society and found something better than happiness - contentment. And how you can find contentment too if you just stop trying to be happy.
'There's a realm beyond happiness that very few people inhabit. Follow what I've done and you may one day enter it. It's a wonderful place called contentment.'
When Gregory Smith stumbled out of a New South Wales rainforest in 2000 he was close to death after living as a hermit in the wild. Determined to turn a wretched life into one worth living, Gregory stripped himself bare emotionally, psychologically and spiritually to undertake an extraordinary personal reconstruction.
Today, with a PhD to his name and a loving family by his side, Gregory has overcome a life of homelessness and despair to become one of society's great teachers. He is a senior lecturer in the social sciences at university, a government policy advisor and an advocate for the dispossessed and downtrodden the world over. And yet he doesn't consider himself to be happy. 'It is far more attainable, satisfying and fulfilling,' says Gregory, 'to simply be contented.'
In this insightful and empowering book, the author of Out of The Forest shares the mental strategies and practical steps he took to go from a friendless and futureless man to 'the most contented person I know', and how they can help you turn your life around, too.

Hold my umbrella & watch this!
Size: 100LBS, Size: 100LBS
This product does a fantastic job of keeping our umbrella perfectly vertical. We previously had an all metal one which cost over $100 and fell over all of the time.
I love the fact that it can be filled with sand and water to ensure it does flip over! We opted to just use water and it is performing flawlessly!
The wheels make it easy to move or they can be locked in place. The assembly was very straightforward and took about 20 minutes.
I would buy another one if we need it for our second umbrella.

Great stand for portability, concerns about durability
Size: 155LBS
This is great and lightweight for easy maneuverability when not filled.
It is extremely sturdy when filled and the locks on the wheels keep it in place.
I use this with a Purple umbrella and it's great.
My one complaint is that the umbrella has developed a bit of a lean after several months of use so I don't think this will hold up in the long run.

Great Service and company
Size: 100LBS
This umbrella stand we purchased does the job our previous heavy metal stands could not do. It stands up to high winds where we were forever standing our umbrella back up with our old stands. When I filled the stand base up with water and sand I accidently locked one of the wheels and pushed it from my truck to our pool patio and ground one of the wheels down to its rim. I messaged Fruiteam asking if I could purchase a new wheel and they sent me a set of 4 no charge. Great product and great customer service!

Perfect! Easy, convenient, definitely recommend
Size: 100LBS, Size: 100LBS
I am so glad I found this base that I can just fill with water. After screwing on the wheels, I used my garden hose to fill it with water and put my 1.5 inch diameter umbrella in and tightened it. Easy peasy. I love that it rolls and I can move it wherever I want, and also lock two of the wheels if needed. Definitely would recommend this one!

Size: 100LBS
Happy with my purchase. Sturdy well built, love that it has wheels makes it easy to move around and wheels lock in place. I choose to fill it with sand and water as it gets really windy where we live this will prevent my umbrella flying to the neighbors house again 😅
