Having read Hugh’s earlier Change This manifesto “How To Be Creative”:

http://www.changethis.com/6.HowToBeCreative

I still preordered “Ignore Everybody”. The text has been revised (there is actually *less* swearing now!) and more cartoons are included. I cannot stress enough how the cartoons are an integral part of Hugh’s message, so more cartoons is more better

I was lucky enough to get a signed copy from Hugh a couple of weeks ago and am rereading it taking notes right now. And still laughing.

As Bob Sutton noted, some people will realize the language is right for the book – in Sutton’s case it was his title. Having spent much of my life as a print journalist the language brought back memories of my peers.

I’ve already devoured Hugh’s book on the plane and one sign that it will be a best-seller is that my seat mate kept looking over my shoulder and laughing. Thank goodness he was also my traveling companion or it would have been irksome. If you have not yet “met” forthright Hugh via his blog or cartoons you will quickly see if you like his path to wisdom and comfort. I’ve creased several pages for a return look.

Some of his theme remind me of a recent Tim Ferriss talk on stoicism and performance: Define your fears instead of your goals …

As an avid Lateral Action fan it makes sense that you, too, enjoyed the book… or was it the beer influence…..?
