Happy New Year everyone!
Straight in to what’s caught my eye recently…

  • Lazy: a manifesto. Important reading for anyone who feels too busy.
  • I wish my travel diaries looked like these.
  • Fancy joining a women’s hiking relay stretching the length ofthe UK?
  • The obituary of Hilary Lister, a record-breaking sailor who became the first quadriplegic person to sail alone across the English Channel.
  • Danny MacAskill’s back, and now he has joined the gym. Fun video of his mesmerising bike skills.
  • Two Instagram accounts I’m enjoying: @boredofborders and @bikewander.
  • Ask me anything… I dare you.

EVENTS and STUFF OF MINE ?

  • Fancy coming along to an evening of audacious optimism, inspiration and connection? London, January 27th. Speakers include entrepreneurs, Extinction Rebellion, Anna McNuff et moi…
  • My podcast has had 50,000 listens in the first 5 weeks. If you’re a podcast listener, please do give it a try here.
    If you know nothing about podcasts, let’s forget I even mentioned the word…
  • Instead, can I tempt you to listen to an interview I did with the world’s youngest Michelin Star chef, the Chief Executive of the charity Friends of the Peak District, the boss of a publishing company or our need to Reclaim Time to Think if we are to Do Meaningful Things…?
  • Most of my books are on a Buy One Get One Free offer. All signed copies… Limited time only!

Cheers!
Alastair
