A friend misconstrued the human freelancer ideology recently. He thought it was about relinquishing material goods and giving up work, making me sound like some kind of cave-dwelling, Bohemian loafer.
Being a human freelancer is about using your talents to forge a sustainable living: enough to fund a comfortable existence, so you can enjoy all the fine things civilisation has to offer, like technology or medicine in sufficient proportions. It’s a response to reckless capitalism’s irresponsible pursuit of growth and more of everything: consumption, avarice and exploitation.
I’m just here to encourage honest people to take control of their lives and try something different. And make up new swear words.

LOOK! There's a book full of this shit and more!
Self-help business books perpetuate the myth that success is relentless growth and more of everything means progress. They preach about bookkeeping and market research: things you might need to do of course. But let’s face it they’re fucking boring.
The Human Freelancer book is your antidote: stuffed full of emotional support and insightful advice for vulnerable newbies to self-employment like you.
