SWITCH: THE EXTRAORDINARY TRANSFORMATION OF BILLY SWITCH, AND HOW YOU CAN DO IT TOO

by Pascal Etcheber

Aspiring journalist Claire thinks she’s finally found her big break. A national magazine has asked her to cover a strange a South Carolina woman refused to sign her divorce papers when she showed up in court, only to discover that her obese slob of a husband had somehow morphed into Prince Charming and James Bond combined barely a year after she had kicked him out. Has Billy Switch simply gone on a diet and training regimen, or is he hiding a lottery windfall from his soon-to-be ex-wife?The transformation of Billy Switch is relevant to anyone entering a middle-aged crisis. If it worked for someone as fat, as sick, as down on his luck, as Billy Switch, then it will work for anyone. However, if Billy cashed a whopping $877,784,124, that’s an entirely different story.The book originated from the realisation that a physical transformation requires three “switches”, one mental and two physical ones and that understanding what to do, though necessary, is not sufficient. Instead, a strong, overwhelming desire was the key to successfully embarking on what is, after all, life’s journey. And though many people postpone attempting to transform themselves until they have more time or more money, the truth is that making the change saves a lot of both. This book was written to entertain and inspire readers to start their own transformations so that they can enjoy life as their new selves without delay.

About the author

Pascal Etcheber (born August 2, 1963) is a French author and philosopher. He co-edited “Managing Sensitive Projects” published by Macmillan in the UK and Routledge in the US in 1998. In "The Strength of Becoming: a philosophical treatise on the new art & science of living", Pascal Etcheber argues that there is a positive outlook in Existentialism through creating. Since only individuals can bring meaning into the world “Creativism” allows individuals to both find themselves and fulfillment. His Philosophy is further outlined in “Vagabond Earth” (published by Substance Publishing in 2004). He purports that Human beings are driven by three essential needs: Freedom, Actions and Ethics, that the world is organized with Religions, Economics and Politics to apparently fulfill those needs. However, human beings can never find fulfillment because Freedom is lost by the obedience to laws; Actions are made useless by the belief that this world is meaningless compared to a higher, spiritual world or afterlife; Ethics is never attained because participation in economics does not lead into abundance for all but the success of a few to the detriment of the majority. “Vagabond Earth” proposes a blue print for a moneyless society of one world with no governments with people actively engaged in making this world a good place to live. In 2012, "7 principles for an Economic Revolution" marks a less utopian outlook and proposes new hopes for full employment and higher standards of living, even in mature economies, despite globalization.
