The No.9 Bus to Utopia (häftad, eng)

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 HuxleyMost 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 changeNot 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.
