About
After his partner leaves him for someone ‘younger but more mature’ David sets himself the life changing talks to be a more sharing, loving person. As a man with a taste for the exotic however, this is never going to be resolved by a weekend course in mindfulness. Instead, he embarks on a global adventures to learn how to live with others. He visits an anarchist community in the heart of Copenhagen, a futuristic city in the desert, free love communities and a futuristic city being built in the desert. Most fantastic of all is Damanhur, a 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’.
Along the way David’s quest raises issues that best many of us. Why is depression rife amongst those who have wealth and relative freedom. Is getting what you want really utopian? And can alternative communities really teach us a better way to live, without having to dress in tie-dye?
