A Brief Guide to World Domination, by Chris Guillebeau
I’ve met a whole lot of interesting, creative folks in my brief time on Twitter - and one of the most energetic of those is Chris Guillebeau of the Art of Nonconformity. Reading nearly 200 books for my books-around-the-world project sounded ambitious until I learned that Chris is planning to take it a whole lot of steps further to actually visit every country (he’s got 83 under his belt so far).
Chris recently published a 29-page “manifesto” titled A Brief Guide to World Domination, which he’s offering up for free download from his site. With stuff like:
“The only things you’ll need to give up are assumptions, expectations, and the comfort zone that holds you back from greatness.”
and…
“The real secret in life is that even though you can probably have anything you want if you work hard enough, in the end it’s not all about you.”
… he’s preaching to the choir as far as I’m concerned, but I bet a lot of readers here would enjoy it. Reminds me a little of the types of things I used to post here once upon a time.

- Still Life in Buenos Aires: I’m not sure how comfortable I would be with a “creep clause.”
