The Freaks Shall Inherit the Earth: Entrepreneurship for Weirdos, Misfits, and World Dominators Hardcover – Import, 13 June 2014

A good read with some ideas that that have galvanized me into action. Not all of the book is applicable to everyone and the author acknowledges this by suggesting you skip chapters that do not apply to you. Some of the book is a little repetitive and seems longer than necessary but there are definitely some nuggets of wisdom here. He certainly has done well by business plan. Interestingly he plunges into business and learns as he goes, with none of the tiresome analyzing a project to death before launch. He claims to fail in more businesses than almost anyone but learns from these and spends continuing resources on only the enjoyable successes. The freedom of that approach gives me new impetus to begin those projects I was previously agonizing over. His time management practices should be a lesson to the all (certainly where I work).

I have read so many business books I have become quite cynical about how useful they are. But with this one, you can tell it has been written by a do-er, not a theorist. Despite that, Chris Brigan sets out his ideas really clearly, in a human and friendly manner. So, plenty here to like: useful, easy to read, supportive and realistic. I have actually been using the techniques he suggests, rather than just reading through the text and leaving it on the shelf.

Great book. It is very motivating with many practical tips.

Thoroughly enjoyed "Freaks" on a recent, cross country flight. Easy to read, engaging, insightful, practical, and made me challenge my thinking. All elements that I appreciate when it comes to business books. Also, I learned about the "monchu," and I am now proud to be a member of Chris Brogan's monchu.

Humorous book, gives a refreshing perspective on entrepreneurship.
