About 9 months ago I was introduced to this great little PDF guide about being remarkable and it really changed my mindset on what is possible and what we can do in the world. At the time I was really busy launching Alt-MBA and discussing a book a week, and I had been wanting to post on this guide for some time.
I caught up with the author Chris a few Guillebeau months ago, and we had this podcast interview. I will once again credit Matt Cheney for his yoeman’s work editing this interview.
Ok, so I first was given this book by my dad when I was a 17 or so. If only I hadn’t read the cover of the book at that point, I would have saved myself tons of heartache over the years. Instead, I read the title, and thought to myself, “I don’t want any part in a book that teaches you how to manipulate people into being your friend, and doing stuff for you.” I really have to tell you now, that this is a terrible title, because inside is life-changing advice for how to live and interact with people, and it has nothing.
