Prompted by a stranger’s challenge to “say yes more,” a bored and newly single man decides to say yes to every opportunity for a time, plunging into a cascade of unexpected adventures, awkward favors, blind dates, and impulsive trips.

2. Join Me!
The True Story of a Man Who Started a Cult by Accident
A funny, true-life account of a spontaneous social experiment that begins with a mysterious ad inviting strangers to “join” and snowballs into a quirky movement dedicated to small acts of kindness. As the group grows into an accidental cult—complete with weekly “Good Fridays” and the so-called Karma Army—the narrator grapples with responsibility, friendship, and the meaning of community, all while navigating personal relationships and the absurdity of leading something he never intended to create.
