But when that pressure disappeared people rediscovered what was important to them. They quit jobs that made them unhappy and moved their families to suburbs. Simple things like outdoor walks replaced gym memberships; home cooking and backyard gardens replaced takeout; less commuting meant more time for family and creative projects; and for perhaps the first time in a long time people were being honest. Honest about what they wanted what they believed in. Honest about the problems they were facing within their families friend groups workplaces towns and society overall. That honesty he noticed had the potential to make the ground shift. It created a capacity for change. But he also knew that it likely wouldn’t last because the most powerful forces running our world would not allow it to. They wanted control over our clicks our conversations our dollars our work our votes—our lives. The only way that we could beat those systems would be to resist the calls to keep moving and to “go back to normal. In order to change we had to unsubscribe. Now in Please Unsubscribe Thanks! Gambuto gives us a radical blueprint for the ways we can take a deep breath renew and commit to a life that we really want individually and collectively from unsubscribing to emails and automated subscriptions to reevaluating the presence of people and ideas and habits that no longer serve us or make us happy. Infused with the practical advice in James Clear’s Atomic Habits and the humor of Sarah Knight’s The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k this groundbreaking guide helps us focus on where we find joy in our lives and encourages us to toss out what doesn’t bring us joy in this modern world.
