    About this ebook

    Go into any bookstore and you will find thousands upon thousands of good ideas competing for your attention.

    This is a book of goody ideas.

    What is the difference?

    Good ideas are practical, such as contributing to a 401K or getting your oil changed according to your car’s vehicle manual. Goody ideas are just for fun. Such as:

    • Holding your own wine tasting at home.

    • Having your own Bed-In for peace or any cause under the sun.

    • Writing down the last thought you have before you go to sleep...and then the first thought you have when you wake up.

    • Making cards with your own personal philosophies on them.

    This is a fun, innovative, and inexpensive collection of ways to reclaim a sense of wonder in life. No matter who you are, there’s a goody idea tailor-made for you.

      First time you wrote a joke? I was four years old. My family still torments me about it: “Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” “Smoke.” “Smoke who?” “Smoke eat.” It makes zero sense and everyone laughed at me, not with me. Last time you got a bad haircut? In
