Could being good make you feel better? Seb Hunter thought he'd give it a try . . . The result is this wildly funny and heartwarming tale of one man's attempt to better himself by helping others (even if they don't always want him to).
Spurred on by a cold call from a charity fundraiser, Seb Hunter decided to transform good intention into commitment and spend two years trying to improve himself by signing up for as many different types of volunteering as possible.
From falling out with fellow do-gooders at Oxfam (selling Vanessa Feltz's old clothes to local transvestites) to battling bureaucracy on behalf of a Congolese asylum seeker; from hospital radio to litter picking; and from working at a homeless drop-in centre to campaigning to avert climate change, he sheds blood, sweat and tears in the name of Good Causes. But can working for no financial reward actually make you a 'better person'?
How To Be A Better Person is a laugh-out-loud antidote to pessimism, as uplifting as it is entertaining. It's a call to arms! Oh no its not! Well, it is, sort of . . .
