Meeting John has in any case changed the life of the author. In this story, you learn how you can make all your dreams come true - or at least some of those dreams. And if that does not succeed, you have in any case discovered all you need to bake a perfect cookie. In What Would John Do?, William Georgi introduces the reader to the thinking of John Altman, a cookie baker and an old hippie from San Francisco. In seven chapters, we learn the seven steps required to bake a cookie, a metaphor for seven simple principles that pave the way to a happier life. If it does not work for you, you can still bake that perfect cookie. What Would John Do? is a funny pastiche of the popular stream of publications on personal happiness. It is the brain child of the makers of John Altman Cookies at the Gummo advertising studios in Amsterdam.
