Novelist Tim Sandlin calls it "a high end bathroom book." Paperback available on Oct. 15, 2020.
From Socrates to Steve Jobs to @steak_um, these provocative bites of wit and wisdom will inspire you to think critically, to think differently, and to think for yourself.
A contrarian is someone who is unconventional or who rejects popular opinion. Contrarian thinking is useful because:
The crowd is often wrong.
It can help you find a new perspective or discover the truth.
Creativity and innovation come from thinking differently.
You can think freely and be yourself.
Open the book anywhere and read a few of pages. Get your mental juices flowing again. Have some fun. Click the refresh button on your brain. Start now by taking a peek inside.
Take a break and contemplate unconventional thoughts on: truth, knowledge, ignorance, myths, beliefs, doubt, curiosity, crowds, conformity, groupthink, staying true to yourself, facts, misinformation, fake news, propaganda, brainwashing, and authority. Ponder the musings of some of the great mavericks, skeptics, outliers, and iconoclasts.
Stuck on a gift? Give a friend the power and joy of thinking outside the box. (It makes a cool gift for the graduating senior too.)
Do you wish you could do your own thing? Sure, some conformity is necessary to lead an unencumbered life. But too much conformity will extinguish the spark inside of you. Let's face it: If you think like everybody else, you'll get average results. It's time to blow the dust of habitual ways of seeing things.
Listen to your inner voice. Ask questions, of yourself and to the group. Speak up. Find your true path in life.
So long as men praise you, you can only be sure that you are not yet on your own true path but on someone else's.
