The author of How to Be Idle, Tom Hodgkinson, now shares his delightfully irreverent musings on what true independence means and what it takes to be free. The Freedom Manifesto draws on French existentialists, British punks, beat poets, hippies and yippies, medieval thinkers, and anarchists to provide a new, simple, joyful blueprint for modern living. From growing your own vegetables to canceling your credit cards to reading Jean-Paul Sartre, here are excellent suggestions for nourishing mind, body, and spirit—witty, provocative, sometimes outrageous, yet eminently sage advice for breaking with convention and living an uncluttered, unfettered, and therefore happier, life.

《如何游手好闲》一书的作者汤姆·霍奇金森（Tom Hodgkinson）现在分享了他关于真正独立意味着什么以及自由需要什么的令人愉快的不敬思考。《自由宣言》借鉴了法国存在主义者、英国朋克、垮掉派诗人、嬉皮士和雅皮士、中世纪思想家和无政府主义者，为现代生活提供了一个新的、简单的、快乐的蓝图。从自己种菜到取消信用卡，再到阅读Jean-Paul Sartre，这里有一些很好的建议，可以滋养身心——机智、刺激，有时甚至是离谱，但非常明智的建议，可以打破传统，过一种整洁、不受约束、因而更快乐的生活。
