The Art of Non-Conformity

Set Your Own Rules, Live the Life You Want, and Change the World

By: Chris Guillebeau

Narrated by: Dan John Miller

If you've ever thought, "There must be more to life than this," The Art of Non-Conformity is for you. Based on Chris Guillebeau's popular online manifesto "A Brief Guide to World Domination," The Art of Non-Conformity defies common assumptions about life and work while arming you with the tools to live differently. You'll discover how to live on your own terms by exploring creative self-employment, radical goal-setting, contrarian travel, and embracing life as a constant adventure. Inspired and guided by Chris's own story and those of others who have pursued unconventional lives, you can devise your own plan for world domination---and make the world a better place at the same time.

Critic reviews

"Chris Guillebeau is the Indiana Jones of career experts." (Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project)

great book!

Cant wait to listen to it again! Very inspiring and a great book. Would highly recommend.

Game Changing Read

It sounds cliche to say this book changed my life, but it did. It set me on an unconventional path to a much more fulfilling life. I have reread it several times now, and each read opens up a new insight. Chris Guillebeau's entire canon is practical and actionable, I have read all but one.

This book spoke to me, but it won't speak to everyone

I think creatives, wanderers, vagabonds, and anyone with A.D.D. will enjoy this book. It's helped me understand the reasons I'm not so great in corporate world, though I do have skills to provide the world. It covers lots of topics: travel, business, education, friendships, and even some financials. All areas have a non-conformist way to them, though you don't need to adopt all. Keep what makes sense and forget the rest.

Just listen and be receptive to new ideas

I was skeptical about reading this book because of the negative reviews. I am 60 and received life changing ideas. The audible version is very good. It's not so much about traveling the world as it is about accepting responsibility for our lives in a positive way.

lackluster

I am a sucker for "self-improvement" books "inspirational" books "change your life get yourself happy" books.
so I was excited about this book but I felt like very little of the information was new or came at Life With A New Perspective it was more like a book. informational yes empowering to an extent. But at the end of the day I was just bored alot of the time
