Randy, Beer and Rock 'n' Roses

This story touches all perspectives of a human being: socio-political, inner-psychological, transpersonal-spiritual. Randy's social worker finds him an apartment in a community, where topics such as democracy, regional money, the economy for the common good, permaculture,100% money and unconditional basic income are the order of the day. He works on an organic farm, jogs with a civil servant, gets a massage from a tantric woman, falls in love, escapes into the solitude of the forest, survives a death struggle and meets willing women in a cupboard. Finally, Randy travels and visits the communities in the Ecovillages Findhorn, Tamera, Sekem and Auroville. And then the telephone rings!

Excerpt from one of the first feedbacks: "I came across this book by chance. The title caught my interest. But I feared a very complicated work; I like things to be simple, clear, and intuitively comprehensible. But my first glance at the book reassured me. It seemed to be written in a generally understandable way. This was confirmed as the book progressed. Technical terms were explained, and I could understand most of the theories on first reading. I found Kushala's first question to Randy rather unworldly if you know the 'normal world'. And yet Kushala is just like that. She belongs to an educated elite who don't really know how people out there think and speak. But that's exactly why they want the 'normal' Randy in the community. I really liked him right from the start. For a 'normal guy', as I have met many out there, he is surprisingly open-minded and open-hearted. He doesn't understand everything, but he gets involved. So much so that he quickly experiences the positive aspects of meditation and the other spiritual and physical benefits. I think that's great; he doesn't seem to have any deep resistance to these experiences, he really just seems to be inexperienced in this area. So, he is clearly a person who wants to develop in this positive direction, and then does so. The book captivated me. I started reading it in one evening, and one evening later I had already read the whole thing. Thank you for the great book and the great story. The message is great. The writing style is understandable. The story is exciting. This is a book I will recommend and give as a gift. This is also a good book as a basis for discussions and conversations in writing and reading groups."
