“Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing. Do what you need to do!” — — Futurist Jim Carroll
I’m in the final stretches of finishing off my Being Unique book, and it has been a project — I’m about 1 1/2 years into it, and in the meantime, released 3 other books! (Embracing Mediocrity, Escaping Mediocrity, and Dancing in the Rain!)
While the work is focused on the urgency of uniqueness as a strategic advantage, I realized I had left out a crucial part of the conversation: the human cost of being different.
Here’s where I am — the first ten chapters are mostly written, and are high-energy. They are the call to action, the blueprint, and the payoff: I cover some inspirational stories of unique people, give you the toolkit for unique thinking, and show you the economic rewards of niche skills in the global market. But what happens after the initial victory? How do you keep your uniqueness intact when the world is constantly pushing you back toward conformity?
You don’t just win the battle against conformity once; you have to fortify your uniqueness every single day.
And trust me, it’s a battle!
One of the first steps is not to worry about what everyone else is doing, what everyone else is telling you to do, what everyone else is giving you advice on.
It’s doing what you need to do.
With that in mind, I’ve decided to add a new chapter, which will be the penultimate chapter of the book: “Sustaining and Fortifying Uniqueness.” This chapter is the emotional and psychological scaffolding that the rest of the strategy rests upon. It transitions from the “how-to” to the “how-to-survive-long-term.”
Stay tuned!
----
Being Unique will mark Jim’s 43rd or 44th book; he plans on going back and checking the math!

For it is the part of a wise man to resolve beforehand that whatever can happen to a man should be borne calmly if it should befall him. It needs altogether great judgment to provide against such evil happening and no less courage to bear it with fortitude if it should befall.
[Est enim sapientis, quidquid homini accidere possit, id praemeditari ferendum modice esse, si evenerit. Majoris omnino est consilii providere ne quid tale accidat, animi non minoris fortiter ferre si evenerit.]Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 11, ch. 3 / sec. 7 (11.3/11.7) (43-02 BC) [tr. Ker (1926)]More info about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/cicero-marcus-tulliu…

And as of today, it seems that the role model that will open the chapter will be… get ready … Lady Gaga! She’s the perfect model for being unique, the power of being unique, and what to do to guard your uniqueness!
The reality of being unique is that it comes with immense pressure, a heavy psychological toll, and difficult relationship dynamics. This new chapter will guide you through the three essential pillars for protecting your unique self
With that, I’m back into the grind of the book — most of the other chapters are already close to done, I need to write this, and then it goes to my wife for the sometimes complex process of editing.
Stay tuned!

"You want real connection to code? You *earn* that. You dig in. You wrestle with segfaults at 3 in the morning. You pace your apartment muttering about pointer arithmetic. [...] You write your own damn notes instead of snapping lecture slides and pretending it counts. When you outsource the thinking, you outsource the learning. [...] You don’t *know* your code. You’re babysitting it." ~ https://deplet.ing/the-copilot-delusion/ (asterisks inserted for italicization)

Everywhere you look, there’s another bestselling book, viral TED Talk, or Instagram carousel telling you how to “bounce back,” “overcome adversity,” and “strengthen your mental fortitude.”

Misinterpretations, bias, and negative insights served as some of the main inspirations of my latest nonfiction book, "Essential Information After High School Graduation," which covers hot topics in a manner our public school curriculum would dare not.

Deep in thought after selling our Chevy Cruze to a super nice woman who is suffering from a genetic disease. She said she has 3 good years left and wants to spend them driving back and forth from #Minnesota to Texas where her grand kids are. I'm sure this car is up for the road trips.
I wonder though how I would meet such a challenge. I'm safely ensconced in my immortality cocoon. The day that unravels, I hope I can meet the challenge with the same #fortitude and #grace that I witnessed today.
