Born for This
Penguin Random House (Crown Business)
See publicationWin the career lottery and find the work you were born to do. My new book is the culmination of years of research on people who’ve found or created their “dream job.” From the outside, it looks like these people have been lucky. But in reality, they’ve followed a process of trial-and-error to get exactly what they want.

The Happiness of Pursuit
Penguin Random House (Harmony Books)
See publicationWhen he set out to visit all of the planet’s countries by age thirty-five, compulsive goal seeker Chris Guillebeau never imagined that his journey’s biggest revelation would be how many people like himself exist – each pursuing a challenging quest.

Some involve exploration; others the pursuit of athletic or artistic excellence; still others a battle against injustice or poverty or threats to the environment.

The $100 Startup
Penguin Random House (Crown Business)
See publicationIn preparing to write this book, we identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less). In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment.

The Art of Non-Conformity
Penguin Random House (Perigee)
See publicationThe underlying message of Guillebeau's book, based on his popular blog, is that "You don't have to live your life the way other people expect you to." Those who are open-minded, ready to challenge the status-quo, hard-working, and personally responsible can lead lives of rare authenticity.
