Have you ever had the experience in reading a book that perhaps your journey through life is in fact a great play that you planned from the start and you left yourself some little guide posts and reminders along the way...? This book read like a tale I had planned to tell myself all along and was momentous, joyous, reflective and downright delicious to consume.
From the book cover itself - "Drawing on the French existentialists, British punks, the US beats, hippies and yippies, medieval thinkers, anarchists and 1970s back-to-the-landers such as Ivan Illich, Idler editor Tom Hodgkinson provides a new, simple, joyful blueprint for modern living. He shows that consumer society has led not to a widening of freedoms but to the opposite, and that they key to a free life is to stop consuming and start producing. We are not consumers, we are creators!"
"Read How to Be Free and throw off the shackles of anxiety, bureaucracy, debt, governments, housework, moaning, pain, poverty, ugliness and waste, and much else besides. "
"Are you ready to be free? Read this book and find out!"
Enough said...but really...you must read this book! If you believe anything I have to say (and I'm not sure I believe half of it myself) then believe this.
