THE SEARCH FOR FREEDOM & THE MYSTERIES OF IDLING REVEALED
We discussed ...
As a child, not wanting to be told what to do
Wanting freedom; avoiding work slavery
We create our own traps and restrictions
Idleness and creativity intertwined
Publishing magazines from the age of 8
The Idler: the anarchistic idealistic magazine
What would you do if you had a million pounds?; do it anyway
Your best mate is a genius
Can you make a living out of doing what you want to do? - yes but it's not easy
The Beatles are a good business model: a hard day's play
Running a bookshop is not as easy as it sounds
Noticing when something isn't it and moving on from it
Rural seclusion on a dilapidated farm in Devon; harder than we thought
Juggling the needs for income, comfort, ease and freedom
When your therapist tells you to quit your job
What we think we want may not actually be much fun
Stoic wisdom of 'indifference' - freedom from disturbance
The dangers of working too hard; the importance more idling time for all
What is Freedom and Do you Want it?
