Are you tired of all the "shoulds" in your life? Do you want to live a meaningful life? Do you want to work on your own terms? Do you want to see the world in a different light? Then it's time to Take Charge of Your Weird.

Jason Zook, a creative entrepreneur, certainly lives the talk when it comes to "embracing his strange." He's pulled off some bizarre but lucrative scams, like earning over a million dollars by wearing 1,600 different firms' t-shirts (a project called I WearYour Shirt). He later auctioned off his last name twice, each time for $50,000. He subsequently self-published his first book, Creativity for Sale, with the help of sponsors, earning $75,000. Now Own Your Weird is aimed towards fellow "outside the box" thinkers who want to not only work on their own terms, but also live a meaningful life.

Consider Jason your spirit guide, as he offers tips on identifying what makes you strange, recognising when feedback is just another kind of procrastination, and how to get off social media. By determining your MMM (Minimum Monthly Magic) amount, you may use a series of methods and activities to help you prioritise your life above your company. He also gives personal examples (how he paid off $124K in debt, avoided the urge to have a huge wedding, and flourished on social media while largely ignoring it).

Own Your Weird gives you the green light to take that huge risk. To pursue that huge idea once and for all. It's also important to let go of "ought to" notions. See what happens when you break free from the plan.
