Hi, this is Paul the hopeful.
I honestly believe that my book "Building a Better World in Your Backyard" will solve a list of global problems. With Earth Day just around the corner, I am plotting and scheming to figure out how one giant doofus in Montana can cause great, positive change for the whole planet. Somehow it seems that if I do a grand thing on (or before) Earth Day, my devious plot might have a five times better chance of success.
So I have this book. And I have the dailyish mailing list.
If I give the book away for free I will get zero profit - which sorta de-funds future projects.
At the same time, I would gladly trade all profits ***if*** the book somehow ends up in a million brains.
The feedback for the book has been excellent. Great reviews on permies, amazon and goodreads. I think there might even be more to this book than my own personal bias.
Try 100 things. 2 will work out and you never know in advance which 2.
I have tried a few thousand things and many things have worked to varying degrees. I am going to try this thing and … hope. Hope it makes a massive difference through the whole "pay it forward" idea. Throw the dice and hope.
The link below will give anybody the epub version of my book. Please, please, please forward this link to as many people as you want. You can post this link to social media and any random person can get the book. And anybody with this link can upgrade to a physical book (or bunch of books) or audiobook pretty cheap. The link is good for four days.

I'm only 64! That's not to old to learn to be a permie, right?

Sorry for the rambling...we should start a thread with stories of growing up this way...
