The Wander Society

You are electing to join a secret underground movement.

Membership will require you to conduct research on your immediate environment and complete a variety of assignments designed to creatively disrupt your everyday life. That is all you need to know for now. All else will be revealed in time.

Society wants us to live a planned existence. The path of the wanderer is not this! The path of the wanderer is an experiment with the unknown. To be idle, to play, to daydream. The Wander Society offers us all a way to experience the joys and possibilities of unplanned time.

Reviews

Charming, wise, hilarious

Required reading

I loved it.

Hilarious journal.

What heaven. I'm going to read it again. Hilarious and true and a tiny bit moving.

—— Shane Watson

So funny and also touching

—— Louise Guinness

A quiet and understated joy.

—— Sophia Wood

For feminism that makes you laugh. Despair, but also laugh.

—— Glosswitch, New Statesman

I simply love @manwhohasitall. Nothing points up the absurdity and inequality of debates about care and career as effectivly as simply putting the shoe on the other foot. Follow him on Twitter and read this book!

—— Anne-Marie Slaughter, President and CEO, New America

Hilarious and eye-opening.

—— Huffington Post

Playfully subversive and long overdue, this book takes those ubiquitous gender stereotypes and grinds them to dust. Very funny indeed.

—— Rebecca Front

Making everyone giggle.

—— New York Post

Perfect satire.

—— Upworthy

If you love satire, you'll love this.

—— Viv Groskop on Woman's Hour

Terrific!

—— Joanne Harris
