Overview

Atomic Habits meets The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k in this life-changing guide to freeing yourself from the automated behaviors, values, and relationships that keep you from being happy.When the pandemic essentially brought the world to a standstill, author Julio Gambuto came to understand a powerful truth: in the pre-pandemic world, Americans were exhausted, lonely, unhappy, wildly overworked and overbooked, drowning in sea of constantly being on the go and needing to buy more, more, more. But when that pressure disappeared, people rediscovered what was important to them. They quit jobs that made them unhappy and moved their families to suburbs. Simple things like outdoor walks replaced gym memberships; home cooking and backyard gardens replaced takeout; less commuting meant more time for family and creative projects; and for perhaps the first time in a long time, people were being honest. Honest about what they wanted, what they believed in. Honest about the problems they were facing within their families, friend groups, workplaces, towns, and society overall. That honesty, he noticed, had the potential to make the ground shift. It created a capacity for change. But he also knew that it likely wouldn't last, because the most powerful forces running our world would not allow it to. They wanted control over our clicks, our conversations, our dollars, our work, our votes--our lives. The only way that we could beat those systems, would be to resist the calls to keep moving, and to ""go back to normal."" In order to change, we had to unsubscribe. Now, in Please Unsubscribe, Thanks!, Gambuto gives us a radical blueprint for the ways we can take a deep breath, renew and commit to a life that we really want, individually and collectively, from unsubscribing to emails and automated subscriptions to reevaluating the presence of people and ideas and habits that no longer serve us or make us happy. Infused with the practical advice in James Clear's Atomic Habits and the humor of Sarah Knight's The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k, Please Unsubscribe, Thanks! helps us focus on where we find joy in our lives and encourages us to toss out what doesn't bring us joy in this modern world.

Author Information

Julio Vincent Gambuto grew up in a large Italian family on New York's Staten Island, where aunts, uncles, and cousins gathered often around mom's seafoam-green formica kitchen table for Entenmann's crumb cake to tell stories, argue about the Mets, and play cards with the neighbors. After seven years on merit scholarship at Staten Island Academy, Julio left for Harvard, where he graduated with a BA in English and American literature and language, with honors. He completed his training as a film director at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, where he was honored as an Annenberg Fellow. He is the author of ""Prepare for the Ultimate Gaslighting""--a super-viral essay series on Medium, where he is now a weekly contributor. Julio is also a filmmaker and has written and produced film and television content for Nickelodeon, PBS, E! Entertainment, Stone & Company Entertainment, Kerner Entertainment, and James Franco's Rabbit Bandini. He lives in New York City and is the author of Please Unsubscribe, Thanks!.
