The Art of Non-Conformity
The Art of Non-Conformity by Chris Guillebeau is a great read for anyone! It’s all about how to set your own rules and get a little bit more out of life. Guillebeau emphasises that too many of us ‘settle’ for the lives we lead, we need to set our own rules and start living a life that you are passionate and excited about. Guillebeau discusses ideas that can help you on your journey to create a life that may be ‘unconventional’ but allows you to reclaim control.
For this summary we’ll follow the same format as Guillebeau’s book, he’s broken it down into three parts. Part 1 is The Remarkable Life, focusing on challenging the norms and ways we are expected to live. Part 2 is called Reclaiming Work where Guillebeau discusses taking action, schooling vs. the internet and your own personal finances. Finally, we’ll summarise Part 3: The Power of Convergence and the idea of eliminating the unnecessary and the quest for abundance.
