Book Review: The Art of Non-Conformity – Make Your Own Rules, Live the Life You Want, and Change the World by Chris Guillebeau
There are many among us who feel that their life is not flowing as they would like, this creates a feeling of dissatisfaction. This book will give you just what you need to survey different aspects of your life. You will ask yourself questions and you will also provide the answers, and in the process, you will end up changing it and doing wonders for yourself. Sounds like a self-help book, right? Well, maybe, but I haven’t seen another self-help book that provides such an interesting read. This one provides inspiration rather than tips and tricks to get you going and that’s what makes it so special.
The book is set on a topic that is truly worth anyone’s time and sends a simple message that there is more than one way to live your life and you don’t have to follow the normal pattern of working to retire. Chris himself is a traveler and travels the world while being a writer and businessman, he uses this book to give us insight into how he has accomplished all he has in his life, paving the way for our own imagination works. wild and we do well ourselves.
The book has a very simple recommendation for its readers. Chris tells you to set yourself a goal and follow it through to the end, until you achieve it. Although there will be thousands of obstacles on the way, often even from friends and loved ones, one must not lose focus and continue towards their goal. Each chapter of the book will open your mind to some aspect of your life and the end of it; you will be lost in your thoughts, scrutinizing your own life deeply.
This is not a book that will help you make a lot of money and become “successful” but rather a book that will guide you in finding your own interests, likes and dislikes and eventually finding what you are truly passionate about. . Add to this the fact that it’s fairly inexpensive and a quick read for anyone and you have the complete package to take home.
Chris shows that by leading an unconventional life and embracing life as an ongoing personal adventure, you can do amazing things and ultimately change the world.
