First Reader Review - The Good Life Lab Sneaks Out

            This week a lovely guy named David popped into my inbox. He had found the Facebook page for my upcoming book The Good Life Lab and Liked it. He sent a note to me telling me he enjoyed the book. He said he had read it in two days and even got up in the night to finish it. My first reaction was, "how did you get it, it's not out yet?" He'd found it in a used book store in Berkeley, Ca. A journalist or sales rep in retail sold off their advance copy, this kinda thing happens all the time.

I was excited to meet the first reader of my book! Today David was kind enough to chat with me on Skype and share his impressions. He said that the book renewed a desire to increase his homesteading activities, reduce his cost of living, become more adept at cooking and other hands on activities, continue to avoid a full time gig, and seek out more and more of what makes him happy. An artist, David already had a workshop that he was using for a variety of things including to reforming glass. I think he's well on his way!
