Born to be mild : adventures for the anxious

A Handful Of Years Ago I Moved With My Wife To A House On A Quiet Street In A Quiet Town And Lay Quietly In A Room For A Long Time. I Used To Love An Adventure, And I Had Jobs On Magazines (remember Magazines?) Which Provided The Opportunity For Plenty Of Them, But When I Hit My Thirties I Started To Become Increasingly Afraid Of The World, Until I Was Too Frightened To Even Go Outside At All. And I Had No Need To Go Outside: I'd Somehow Wangled It So My Job Was Mostly Tweeting, Which Meant No Colleagues, No Bosses, No Office, No Alarm Clock, No Deadlines . . . Just Me, My Phone And My Social Media Feeds. Doesn't Sound Too Healthy, Does It? It Wasn't. Everything Went Bad. Rob Temple Runs A Social-media Empire From The Comfort Of His Sofa. Living The Dream! But What Happens When A Lack Of Colleagues, Bosses And Alarm Clocks Means That Your Sofa, And The Four Walls Of Your Very Quiet Living Room, Become Your Whole World? In This Tender And Life-affirming Memoir, Rob Explores What It Will Take For Him To Become A Little Less Bear (pooh) And A Little Bit More Bear (grylls), And How Mild-mannered, Anxious Rule-followers Can Get Their Own Share Of (gentle) Adventure From Time To Time.
