    Marcus Freestone

    My main work is the T14 series of thrillers about a futuristic, high tech counter terrorism agency headed by a man with a computer implant in his brain. The first book "The Memory Man" is permanently free in e-book. I also have a series of novellas on the subject of mental health and psychology. My most popular book is "Positive Thinking And The Meaning Of Life" which has had 200,000 downloads. It deals with psychology, philosophy, depression, anxiety, mental health in general and the human condition.I have also released more than 50 albums, ranging from metal and rock to jazz and ambient/electronica. And last but not first I also produce the "Positive Thinking And The Meaning Of Life" podcast and "The Midnight Insomnia Podcast", a comedy show with ambient music and abstract visual images.

      101 Ways To Happiness - Marcus Freestone

      INTRODUCTION

      This book contains two things: serious/semi-serious suggestions on how to be happier; silly, facetious suggestions intended purely for entertainment. They are mixed together at random because that's the way I like it - it made me happy to write this book. I hope reading it has the same effect on you. Now, in preparation for the first item, syringe your ears, part your hair, plough a furrow, cycle towards a landmark, fence a stolen lamppost, insult a traffic cone, climb a mountain, fork a stream, investigate a postman, overcome a meteor shower, bury some spoons, dribble on a haddock, knit a spare hamster, harness a pleb, stroke a postmark, record an argument, bother a sheep, confuse a cat, boil some trousers, instigate a panic, x-ray some socks, plant some apathy, pick holes in a packet of polos, disagree with gravity, clear your mind and read on.

      1

      Buy this book. Hopefully it will make you happy. It will certainly make me happy, as with the royalties I get from each copy of this electronic edition I can treat myself to a small bottle of water or a box of matches. What more could a writer want? Bestselling novels, critical approval, a larger flat or a house, a quieter mind... let's not go there.

      If you're feeling down, people often say 'pull your socks up'. Well, if you follow that instruction by also putting on your shoes/boots and then going out for a walk/perambulation, that will make you happier. Unless, of course, you are immediately dive-bombed by a fleet of pigeons.

      We've all heard of the health benefits of exercise, often in tedious and patronising tones from those on high. The simple truth is that going for a walk is more interesting and stimulating for your brain than sitting at home within the same
