Drawing on anarchist writing and individualist philosophy, Tom Hodgkinson looks at definitions of freedom in history, philosophy and poetry. He champions the belief that it is better to be poor and free than rich and enslaved.

Not great

I wish this book only made a lot of good points, but it also makes a lot of bad points. However the so called advice, like any self-help book, is mostly useless. Something anyone with some sense can figure out for themselves. A more apt title could have been "Why should you be free?" But even then it doesn't clearly make the argument for why... 3/5 stars.
