Griffin, B: The Wish

Autor Bill Griffin

I wish . . .
'I wish I was a millionaire'
'I wish I could have a dirty weekend'
'I wish that people weren't so annoying on social media'
'I wish I could get a Nando's Black Card'
'I wish I could find a boyfriend who wasn't such a douche'
'I wish I could tell someone my secret'
'I wish I wasn't in the throes of an existential crisis'
'I wish I could come to terms with the death of someone I loved very much'
'I wish I wasn't such a control freak'
'I wish I could do something about my awful mother-in-law'
'I wish the world wasn't so chaotic and terrifying'
'I wish I didn't have so many regrets'
'I wish I could be friends with my ex'
'I wish I was the kind of godparent who bought really cool presents'
. . . and a host of other modern desires.

Descriere

The Wish will review 99 of the most popular wishes on website and app, Crowdwish, asking what are the things we really want and why, and offer practical and achievable next steps to help people progress towards their wish.

Uniquely the book will be published with 99 different covers, a selection of which can be seen here. Your cover will therefore be a surprise and we really hope that you like the one that you receive.

Just over 1,000 days ago, Bill Griffin launched Crowdwish, a website and app with a single proposition - it simply asked people what three things they thought they wanted most.

Wishes poured in from all over the world, with the site promising to take some form of meaningful action for the most up-voted wish every twenty-four hours.

Wishes that have gained national press attention range from the assisting of a woman who wanted to find a half-decent boyfriend ('just not a dick basically'), duping Katie Hopkins into signing a gagging order and attaching a faux marble plinth to the offices of the Daily Mail.

The Wish reviews 99 of the site's most popular wishes, and asks: what are the things we really want, how can we get closer to them and how much happier would we be if they were to come true? The result is a snapshot of the hopes, dreams and desires that unite us all, part reflection on a fascinating social experiment, part humorous rumination on the nature of happiness and part instruction manual for life.

The Wish is funny, upbeat and genuinely helpful - each reader is invited to pick one wish from the book that resonates most with them, and email the author for help in making it happen.
