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.
