The No.9 Bus to Utopia : How one man's extraordinary journey led to a quiet revolution Paperback / softback
by David Bramwell
Paperback / softback
Description
When David Bramwell's girlfriend left him for someone she described as 'younger, but more mature than you', he decided he had something to learn about giving.
Taking a year off, he journeyed through Europe and America seeking out extraordinary communities that could teach him how to share.
He wanted answers to a few troubling questions: Is modern life rubbish?
Why do so many of us feel lonely and unfulfilled despite a high standard of living?
Are there communities out there who hold the key to happiness? And if so, why do so many of their inhabitants insist on dressing in tie-dye?
His quest led him to an anarchist haven in the heart of Copenhagen; some hair-raising experiences in free love communities; an epiphany in a spiritual caravan park in Scotland and an apparent paradise in a Californian community dreamed up by Aldous Huxley.
Most impressive of all was Damanhur, a 1000-strong science fiction- style community in the Alps with an underground temple the size of St Paul's Cathedral, a village of tree houses and a 'fully-functioning time machine'.
Inspired, he returned home with a desire to change. Not just himself but also his neighbourhood and city.
Find out how he succeeded in this wry and self-deprecatingly funny spiritual journey that asks some big questions and finds the answers surprisingly simple.
