| book description |

We live in a society governed by Fear. Packets of peanuts â€˜may contain nutsâ€™, our children are locked away safe indoors, and we are encouraged to fear risks that previous generations took for granted. The result is a temptation never to leave the house. How to Live Dangerously is a sane, straight-talking, wonderfully entertaining manifesto that assesses the real risks of modern-day life*, and encourages us to embrace a new freedom in the way we live. Sometimes, sh1t happens â€“ but you may as well get out there and enjoy yourself while you can because, in the end, youâ€™re a long time dead. *Donâ€™t like your children much? Youâ€™d have to lock them out of the house every day for 186,000 years before they were abducted (and even then youâ€™d get them back within 24 hours) *Afraid of flying? If you really want to die in a plane crash, youâ€™ll need to take a flight a day for the next 26,000 years . . .
