Synopsis:
Most people as they get older tend to forget about themselves. It seems to be a normal part of the process of life and it happens to the best of us. We forget to reach our own potential because we are far too focused on bringing up a family, working long hours to pay off the mortgage and bills, locked into the cycle of the never-ending treadmill of work and career. It is easy to lose our way and disregard our own existential wellbeing.
It is an undeniable fact that many of us, in later life, become a bit stuck. Suddenly one day thirty years later, we say to ourselves; ‘what happened to the person I used to be, what happened to my life?’
‘We used to be fun’, go to parties, dance the night away at night clubs and have loads of crazy friends, but the clubs and festivals of old have now been replaced by a pint at the local pub or wine and nibbles at your neighbour’s house. Live music concerts have been replaced by a night at the theatre every few months, or worse still, and this is my own personal experience, your social life consists of a bottle of wine at home watching TV. Our friends are becoming fewer and fewer because over the years we have focussed on everybody else except ourselves; namely our family and our career.
My name is Stephen ‘Hippie Kushi’ Cox, I am 55 years old and I happily describe myself as a hippie. I am both spiritual and forward-thinking, a traveller of the world and a lover of life. I embrace people of all cultures and I believe in togetherness and multiculturalism. I paint my brow with the colours of the rainbow, I wear bright multi-coloured clothes and beads and I dance with my whirly friends all through the night. I am HAPPY!! I have found hippie happiness, I have found Hippie Kushi and I would like to help you find it too.

Thank you, after just returning to the cold and wet UK I always switch on to planning mode; what’s next, let’s do it! My book is still with the publishers but I am hoping it will be out June or July 2020, I will let you all know.
This book is all about how to move on from full stop and get happiness. The book is a semi-autobiographical, self-help book for all of those who feel they have become a bit grey, boring and stuck in life, regardless of age, sexuality or background. Thanks for this motivational article.
