Description
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.

Time for Change
5By Cynics EtcHave usually come across a lot of bitter people in life and have been doing a pretty great job at cutting out a lot of them and something that has always been thought of is, “Wow, I’d *never* want to be anything like that.” Glad to see there’s a good book that thinks likewise that we need less of those. Going to give it the absolute best with going out with life. Thanks for everything.Great book
5By GrizzzzzxxxxVery inspirational read.Great read for inspiration
5By chefsntnoThis book will motivate the h-e-double hockey sticks out of you. Chris outlines things very well and tells you very clearly how to get everything you want. It takes some thinking on your part, of course. No one ever said having the life you want is easy. It enforces the idea that you have to work hard to get to your goal, but gives you plenty of ammunition to get there. Really great read.Life Changer
5By mmbkaajnThis book is exactly the kick in the pants to begin the life I want rather than what others think I should do. Chris makes you think and question. You can ask for nothing more from a writer.Easy read, nothing new
3By FabianologyThis book is easy to read and those have it's interesting paragraphs, but it isn't presenting something new. Basically tells you to do your own thing there's no formula (author would like it that way I think). It's a good read if you want reassurance that the path you've chosen (non-conventional) is one others do too.Great Read

5By DannyVidaChris is a one-of-a-kind guy and I really enjoyed his words of wisdom. He isn't afraid of anything and I think we can all use his great tips of advice!A good read for Gen Y
4By Andrew CalhounAnyone who is lost and feeling frustrated in the current climate, especially after being a few years outside of school should definitely read this book for a bit of inspiration. Guillebeau is very clear about his reasoning and provides a compelling argument about pursuing your own happiness rather than work for someone elses which many of us are conditioned to do basically from birth. He also encourages taking an active role in your life rather than your life taking an active role on you. My one criticism is that sometimes he focused too much on his own adventures and a few other individuals as relative successes. Of course he highlights others but it sometimes felt a bit too general. But that's a minor quibble. A must read for all young adults who are frustrated with the status quo.
