I actually read [the first third of] the book "The Man Who Quit Money." He only accepts what is freely given as long as there are no strings attached. For example, he doesn't take from soup kitchens because the workers there are required to do it as part of their jobs. I'm not sure what part of that you think he's ignoring. He's not trying to live as if the rest of the world doesn't exist, but to prevent others from controlling him via money and vice versa.
