Having Fun on the Road to World Domination

I am a big fan of Hugh MacLeods home on the web (gapingvoid.com, who does not like a daily cartoon in their inbox?) and his first book “Ignore Everybody”. In it Hugh talks about doing things from your heart and putting everything into it.

I was lucky enough to meet him at BlogWorld last November and spend a great five minutes with him. Today I finished his second book Evil Plans: Having Fun on the Road to World Domination. It’s been on my shelf since last summer and I’ve picked from it a few times, but never sat down to really read it before now

It’s a compact book, lots of cartoons and even more great content. It’s about getting out, finding and doing something you love and that really matters to them. It talks about being proactive and deciding what fulfilled looks like for you.

Perhaps his most interesting lesson is that people who do something that they believe in, will certainly have people who disagree with your view and the veracity in which you hold onto what you feel is right. You will have more people that validate you, but having haters is actually confirmation that you are doing something important.

A great read that makes it’s point, and then moves on to the next one.
