This ‘Good Neighbor, Bad Citizen’ blog emerged from the book by the same name:

The book is a rather short read, around 10,000 words or 45-to-60 min. for the average adult. Of course, if you read the book as a meditative aid, pausing to reflect on the contents, then it will take you longer (but that’s not a bad thing!).
Amazon has a lengthy preview on the Kindle page, if you’d like to read most of the book’s Introduction to get a sense of the writing style and perspective.
Do I Have To Read the Book Before Diving Into the Substack?
No.
The Substack content is created to stand on its own.
But if you want to know where this all came from, the book is the “prequel” or “origin story” for the blog. You can get the book at:
Amazon.com in paperback (5 in. by 8 in.) and ebook for Kindle and Kindle-compatible apps (like the free Kindle app for desktop, tablet and mobile)
Barnes & Noble’s website in paperback (5 in. by 8 in.) and ebook for Nook
Lulu.com in paperback (4.25 in. by 6.88 in.)
