Rules for the Unruly (eBook, ePUB)

Living an Unconventional Life

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Inspirational books for young people usually speak to a limited set of dreams: settle down, get a job, get ahead. But what about the kids who are different, the ones who defy convention, who want to take risks, live creatively, break the mold? Marion Winik knows firsthand what it's like to follow these dreams, and now she shares her experience with all these readers -- the young and the restless.

A few years ago, Winik gave a graduation speech called "The Seven Secrets of Slightly Freaky but Often Delightful and Interesting People". The students went wild -- not only did they identify with her memories, but they responded powerfully to the issues she raised. So Winik went home and expanded her ideas into a book. Here, she lays down seven rules for finding fulfillment in the unconventional life -- among them, tell the truth especially to yourself; never stop doing what you love; the road is never straight. The rules are easy enough, but it's the way Winik relates her life wisdom that works its magic on readers.

For those who can't stand the idea of settling down, for whom creativity and individuality are perhaps the greatest virtues, Rules for the Unruly is a roadmap to the future.
