Neil Hawkesford, sometimes known as Foolish Neil, has built a life around daring to do the things most people only dream of. From building his own boat and sailing it with his partner to the Mediterranean, to writing books that challenge the "sensible" path, his work is united by one philosophy: being "foolish" is often the wisest choice of all.
His first book, A Foolish Voyage, became the starting point of The Foolish Trilogy, a series that chronicles not just adventures at sea, but the journey of building a boat, casting off, and discovering freedom under sail.
Neil's curiosity is wide-ranging, whether exploring Ancient Cornwall or Artificial Intelligence, the subject of his two most recent books, he approaches each with down-to-earth honesty. He also writes on Substack: Foolish Living (philosophy, money, sailing) and No Drama AI (practical guides to AI).
