If all you really have left is time - how will you spend it? 'The Pointless Revolution!' is the ultimate lifestyle heresy. It turns economics, self-help and philosophy upside down. It promises neither enlightenment, salvation or utopia; nor does it require purity or genius. Yet, by striking a new bargain with time and re-evaluating our most primal fears, it paves the way for everyday freedom and genuine self-authorship. Audacious and counter-intuitive, this personal and cultural revolution overthrows commonplace fantasies, fairy tales and addictions. By switching off the legislated lifestyle megaphone and challenging the authority of gods, brand ambassadors and social norms, 'The Pointless Revolution!' is pure existential weight loss, an intellectual and spiritual de-clutter that will get you spring cleaning your entire life. A playful, irreverent and timely rebellion against the 24/7 'musts' of consumerism, status seeking and spiritual correctness.
The best travel writers are cool-headed, reliable reporters who offer us rare glimpses into foreign lands. Through such stories, we experience the writer's transformation from outsider to insider, and witness a blossoming love affair with the people, the land, the history. Weiss invites us into Moldova, the poorest country in Europe ... and teaches us the importance of immersing oneself in another culture, reminding us that sometimes to find ourselves, we must risk getting lost. ~ Angela Morales, author of 'The Girls In My Town' Like many Peace Corps volunteers, A. A. Weiss was sent to serve in a country that did not exist when he was born. Moldova? Part of the magic of the volunteer experience is a place you've never thought about becomes your entire world for two long years. Weiss writes beautifully, and brings the post-Soviet society to life, with humor, keen observation, and compassion. ~ Peter Hessler, author of 'River Town' and 'Oracle Bones'
"Not only an incredibly thorough and brilliant How-To, but a pull-at-your-heartstrings look at the selfless world of dog rescuing-and a must-read for anyone who loves dogs. This book will renew your faith in humanity." ~ Robin Cain, author of 'The Secret Miss Rabbit Kept' "This is a must-have book on every would-be, could-be, and veteran dog rescuer's shelf. Guilie Castillo Oriard's It's About the Dog: The A-to-Z Guide for Wannabe Rescuers is packed with invaluable information gleaned from experts and experience, on how to put good intentions into successful practice so you can provide real help for four-legged friends in need." ~ Lynne M. Hinkey, author of 'Ye Gods! A Tale of Dogs and Demons'
"e;These short excursions into the many Frances Philip Kobylarz knows and loves are complete in themselves and add up to one traveler's intelligent, visceral, immediate appreciation of French culture. A tonic getaway for the weary and jaded, this is both a cheap vacation, and a rich one. I loved it. 'All Roads Lead from Massilia' is engrossing and palpable."e; ~ Stephen D. Gutierrez, author of 'The Mexican Man in His Backyard, Stories & Essays'
