Win a Chance to Change Your Life: The Art of Non-Conformity Project

You’re probably reading this blog for one or all of the following reasons:
a) you know one of us
b) you’re interested in our story
c) you’re interested in taking control of your own life

If option c) relates to you in any way, there’s something you should know.

“The Art of Non-Conformity” by Chris Guillebeau came out yesterday. (Note: This is not a paid plug. We just love the guy.)

Chris writes about setting your own rules, living the life you want, and changing the world, on his blog — and now you can read 227 pages of similar, thought-provoking advice.

I read Chris’ manifesto, “A Brief Guide to World Domination: How to Live a Remarkable Life in a Conventional World” a year ago. I didn’t take immediate action, but much of my decision to join this business venture was based on inspiration and hope I gained from Chris‘ words.

If you’ve found yourself unhappy with the status quo, or wishing your life weren’t so darn “average,” then check it out. You can read my Amazon review here and buy the book here. It should also be noted that 100 percent of the author proceeds from the people he meets on his book tour go to Chris’ charity project in Ethiopia.

We won our own free copy from Chris (we’re avid readers of his blog, too) and we’d like to spread the love.

We’ll mail our copy of the book to the first person who responds via comment — the only stipulation being that you must pass the book onto someone else when you’re done. We’ll glue our business card inside, and try to track the book, its readers, and their stories.

Just comment, and tell us why you’re interested! {r}

    You guys are my new “first blog check of the day”! Pajamas + green tea + your blog = my morning…and then the sartorialist, because scott schuman is pretty awesome too. I’m thinking you guys should team up and he should be your travel photographer…
    Looks like a great book, I’m really needing some inspiration at the moment. S & K, I’ll email you my address :-)

    I’d love to have the opportunity to read this book, seeing as it has been such an inspiration. I consider myself an entrepreneur hindered by his own fear and doubt, and maybe this book will open doorways I hadn’t considered.

    I want to read this book! I’m two days in to my senior year of college and am so far doing a brilliant job at avoiding the inevitable dilemma: “What am I going to do with my life?” But I think what this website and potentially this book both support is the idea that it’s not WHAT you do with your life, but HOW you choose to do it. Some may call it semantics, but I think you’re on to something! xx

    Hello! I’m so glad I received the email from Kristen about what she has been up to! You’ve obviously been very busy! I have been checking your blog ever since! It’s so awesome that you girls have chosen to do something you love while also helping others along your journey! I can’t wait to see what happens! Best of luck to you both, you are very inspiring :)

    I’ve read his e-book, too. A breath of fresh air! Hope to get to read his “real” book one day as well!

    Hey guys! Thank you so much for your comments and support!

    Claire was the first one to comment, so she’ll get our copy of AONC. (We’re thrilled to hit the #1 spot before The Sartorialist. He is pretty awesome…)

    We’ve also decided to send the book to Kody, Lara, Trista and Alissa as a thank you for your enthusiasm. (Equally epic commenting.) Please e-mail shannon@allofusrevolution.com with your mailing address, so we can send you your own copy of the book!

    Thanks again!

    KG & SW
