More drink. Less Drunk.
You deserve a great cocktail—and you don’t have to over-indulge to get it! Shims—serious, low-alcohol cocktails—are where everyone can come together, whether it’s for the one drink of the evening or when this is but the first of many.
This book is your invitation to a world of delicious, sophisticated drinks which provide all their pleasures without walloping you over the head with booze. Celebrate two centuries of the cocktail with recipes for every taste, from the sunny cheerfulness of a Ben’s Good Humor to slow sippers like the Bitter Giuseppe. Cheers!
Let go of everything that doesn’t make your life awesome!
With three key principles and numerous practical tips, Discardia—a new holiday—helps you solve specific issues, carve away the nonsense of physical objects, habits, or emotional baggage, and uncover what brings you joy.
In this book, I draw on many years of experience to provide a flexible, iterative method for cutting out distractions and focusing on more fulfilling activities.
Join others around the world who use Discardia's inspirational—but not sappy—approach, and put your energy where it counts: toward living the less stressful life of your dreams!
Research Interests
Games
Play—whether physical games, tabletop role-playing, or computer games—excites me with its potential to bring out the best in us and relieve stress. Along with being a gamer in a variety of formats, I've begun learning game design so I can bring my own creations into the world.
Self-care
In keeping with its philosophical principles, I've begun re-engaging with Discardia at a relaxed pace. I'm interested in integrating what I've learned since the first edition of the book came out, particularly regarding health and wellness management.
History
Returning to my undergraduate thesis topic, I'm currently updating my research on the place of domestic servants in Elizabethan society.
A very different time, the first half of the 19th century, has also begun to draw my attention, with particular fascination for the curious and improbable way by which Victoria came to the throne and set the stage for the century to follow.
Science
The mad wonders of the real world continue to inspire my fiction writing.
