The Idler

How to be Free

HOW TO BE FREE by TOM HODGKINSON

Here are some quotes from the reviews so far:

“One of the most provocatively entertaining, creatively subversive and, frankly, essential manifestoes of this or any moment,” Time Out

“An inspiring collection of historical references and intriguing socio-cultural comment for those of us who yearn to cast off our corporate and consumer shackles,” Psychologies

“Packed with wit, anecdotes and ideas… by the end you’ll want to grow your own vegetables, put on a gig in your living room, or at least read one of the many books he refers to throughout,” The Word

“How To Be Free offers some solutions to escaping the ‘mind-forg’d manacles’…the advice is proffered with wit,” FT

“Crammed with laugh-out-loud jokes and witty putdowns, this acts as a survival guide for everything from government to housework. Random in its details, essential in its advice,” Knave magazine

“He writes in a witty, aphoristic style that is mostly good-humoured and encouraging, which bolsters his central argument that, seeing as life is essentially absurd, we may as well be happy all the time,” New Statesman
