Happiness of Pursuit
Don't live an ordinary life. Pursue your dreams with a quest. The Happiness of Pursuit shares stories of regular people in search of long-term happiness. Whether they've walked across continents, founded nationwide charities or - like the author - visited every country in the world by the time they're thirty-five, these people all have one thing in common: they have intently pursued something extraordinary to enrich their lives. Drawing on their inspirational tales, Chris Guillebeau offers practical advice for: - Choosing and planning your quest - Overcoming challenges along the way - Using the experience to shape the way you live and work 'Chris Guillebeau is a rare combination of sage and adventurer' Susan Cain, internationally bestselling author of Quiet 'As practical as it is inspiring' Brené Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Daring Greatly 'It's not easy to dream big - and it's not easy to turn that dream into reality.

A New York Times Bestseller
New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup helps you find purpose in work and life by committing to a life-changing quest.
The Happiness of Pursuit helps you find real life fulfilment by undertaking a quest that is big and ambitious, surpassing the limits of routine-filled lives. Chris has undertaken a successful quest of his own, having visited nearly every country in the world by age 35, but your own quest needn't involve travel at all. What's needed is commitment and progressive accomplishment, losing oneself in a task - whether it be a physical journey, an artistic enterprise or a philanthropic feat. Chris has surveyed thousands who've undertaken such quests and identified:
· How they went about it
· The common mistakes
· What happened when they hit the wall
· How their lives changed when the quest was over
The Happiness of Pursuit offers inspirational and practical advice to help you bridge the gap between 'impossible dream' and 'everyday reality'. Discover how your own quest can give you the self knowledge to find and live a more fulfilling life.
