You Are What You Don't: THE LAUNCH!

LAUNCH.

Just a swift note to say that my book on positive constraints has finally hit the crowdfunding shelves. Whoop! Read more - and watch my scandalous No Clothes promo video - on the Unbound website.

You Are What You Don't is an unconventional celebration of what happens when you turn your habits on their head. What if you tried to live with no aeroplanes, mobile phones, supermarkets, money, English or borders? Not appealing yet? Okay, what if I did?

This loving-crafted book is part (mis)adventure story and part philosophical / psychological / sociological investigation of why we do what we do - and what happens when we don't.

To catch more of a literary whiff, read this free sample chapter on No Walking. Yep, I didn't walk for a whole day - much more fun and educational than it sounds. Although it did end in comic tragedy.

I'll keep the other stuff to a minimum today. But three things, as usual:

1. If you're wondering what this Unbound thing is, I wrote an in-depth analysis* of the publishing industry here. (*Not in-depth or analysis.)

2. "My name is David Charles and I own 975 things." That includes 9 screwdrivers, 4 feathers and an insane compulsion for No Stuff.

3. I also do a quick round up of past positive constraints, including tips on No Toilet Paper from Superbad writer Evan Goldberg. And a Unicorn.

Before you go, we’re throwing a wee party on the evening of the 19th of November, at the Horse and Stables pub in Waterloo, London. Save the date.

The party will essentially consist of me talking + booze + free badges + live music + a man standing on his hands. So that’s loads of fun and you’re invited.

Now go and watch that video. It’s gold.

THANKS
