“Stop working; stop buying; start living. Feast, drink. Eat capons and good hams. Drink spiced wines and fine ales. Make your table groan with food. Make jam and chutney. Play the hurdy-gurdy. Get a piano…Just as your anxiety is a product of your imagination, albeit influence by the commerical world, so your imagination has the power to replace it with good cheer.”
From Chapter 1 of Tom Hodgkinson’s How to Be Free

Amen! I want this book, it makes SO much sense, doesn’t it? In part, this is why I’ve craved a life in the country for so many years, in a small little house… who knows, perhaps one day it could happen. I’m self employed which is a good start at more freedom. I’m going to order this book! TODAY!
