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.

"Fantastic book with a great moto: if you want to do something in life, do it. The one point that he kept mentioning that really struck the chord was that (paraphrasing) it takes a lot less time to reach your goals once you actually set them and start gearing your decisions toward them. "
