52 WAYS TO SURVIVE A PANDEMIC! (print)

This is not your average kind of advice book for self-isolation. Quite the reverse. Like his previous volume, this book emerged from personal disaster, as the author explains. Perhaps that is why both booksreek of joy in life. This time, the disaster is widely shared.

Or from Wittgenstein and the Cynics to Ruth Rendell. In fact, being in the company of Craig Newnes during a global pandemic might even make it almost bearable.

“52 Ways to Change Your Life was all based on personal experience – things I did and didn’t do that may have accounted for my survival. This volume is similar. I imagine that many of the Ways listed here have, in some way or other contributed to my survival. Perhaps not. Either way, I’m still here….”
