David Pearl: The Wanderer
Timothy Leary once told us to Turn on, tune in and drop out; to unplug from the mainstream distractions and get to know yourself a bit better. but did you know that this is a habit that’s adopted by most of the high-functioning creatives today? AND… did you know that you can use it too?
David Pearl is the creative force behind the global World Wide Wander social movement – where common business problems are solved by going out and immersing yourself in your surroundings; be it the highlands or the high street. We don’t pay enough attention to Nature’s simple solution for high-speed brain power.
