Can a book inspire action? Can it make us get up and move? Start something? Live differently? This is The Book of Do.

Within these pages you ll find over 50 colour photographs, 30 illustrations, 8 lists, 6 recipes, 4 diary entries and hundreds of ideas around business, creativity, resilience and wellbeing that might just change your life. Ideas + action = change. Are you ready for change? The Do Book Company launched in 2013 with the aim of helping creative entrepreneurs, makers and Doers work smarter and create positive change. Since then, the collection has grown to 40 (and counting!) titles spanning design, business, wellbeing and sustainable living, with each book focusing on the doing rather than the background theory.

To celebrate 10 years of publishing, The Book of Do draws together the very best writing and artwork into one seminal anthology. Organised around 10 themed sections, it features wisdom and advice from leading experts including bestselling Do authors David Hieatt, Robert Poynton and Bobette Buster on how to live a more sustainable life, work smarter, or even take a different path. In the words of Dick Dastardly, Don t just stand there, do something!
