Francesca Specter (Replay): How To Be Alone (And Enjoy It)

Announcing a new two book special by me, Emma Gannon, including a free virtual workshop and special intro from Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way. **Books are only on sale until midnight on June 4th** Get yours here: poundproject.co.uk/shop/a-year-of-nothing It's been a year since I last posted on this podcast. Sometimes it’s all a bit too much. Have you considered doing nothing about it? For years, I have written about work, wellbeing and productivity. Then I was struck down by chronic burnout and could barely get out of bed. Something had to change. So I bring you: A Year of Nothing, a moving account of why I had no choice but to switch off, go underground, and find joy and wisdom in mundane pleasures. Split over two books and four seasons, I write about dog borrowing, dopamine dressing, learning how to swim (again), choosing to be child free, tuning into nature and much more. Every purchase of this memoir includes three exclusives: - A foreword by The Godmother of creativity Julia Cameron. - Five beautiful A6 prints by artist and illustrator Georgia-Maia Oliphant, one for each season and one just for you (pictured). - An invite to a virtual event on July 4th, where Emma and TPP founder JP Watson will host a Q&A and workshop the book’s central question: when you've worked out how to do the most, how do you learn to do nothing? ** Print books will be published on June 12th ** If you would prefer just to buy the digital edition please click here.
