In case you hadn’t heard — I wrote a book, ‘CITIZENS — Why The Key To Fixing Everything Is All Of Us’. It’s OUT NOW!

If you’ve followed my journey in any way over the last year. 💚I want to thank you all for your help so far, but as the pushy sod that I am (and in the spirit of the book), I’m never entirely done asking things of you.

I keep saying it, but I didn’t write this book to become an author; I wrote it to start a conversation.

So, let’s show our true power as Citizens (‘together people’) to get this thing out there — the more people who start talking about the ideas behind #CitizensNotConsumers, the faster the change will happen for us all.

How you can help

  • Please, buy the book. Support your local if you can, or all the other usual places.
  • Please review it (Amazon and GoodReads)
  • Tag me in posts where you see where #CitizensNotConsumers happening already!
  • #CitizenSelfie It would also be amazing to see my feed flooded with your faces and your copies of Citizens. I’ve been told LinkedIn’s and Twitter’s algorithm loves a selfie, so join me in posting your #CitizenSelfie and let’s get this conversation out into the wider world.

On #BlackFriday 2011 patagonia took a full page ad in the New York Times with the headline… DON’T BUY THIS JACKET. This is my little homage to that ad. CITIZENS, is our now and the #CitizensNotConsumers conversation needs us all to get involved.
