How To Be Interesting: (In 10 Simple Steps)

Description

An inspiring visual guide to a richer life. "If there's a thinker to steal from, it's Jessica Hagy."-Austin Kleon, author of Steal Like an Artist and Newspaper Blackout How to Be Interesting is passionate, positive, down-to-earth, and irrepressibly upbeat, combining fresh and pithy life lessons, often just a sentence or two, with deceptively simple diagrams and graphs. Each of the book's more than 100 spreads will nudge readers a little bit further out of their comfort zones and into a place where suddenly everything is possible. It's about taking chance-but also about taking daily vacations. About being childlike, not childish. It's about ideas, creativity, risk. It's about trusting your talents and doing only what you want-but having the courage to get lost and see where the path leads. Because it's what you don't know that's interesting.

Jessica Hagy is known for her Webby Award-winning blog Indexed and her cartoons, which appear regularly in the New York Times. She writes widely for national publications. Ms. Hagy lives with her family in Seattle.
