Unmistakable : why only is better than best
(Book)

You?re on the conventional path, checking off accomplishments. You might be doing okay by normal standards, but you still feel restless, bored, and limited. Srinivas Rao gets it. As a new business school graduate, Srinivas?s dreams were crushed by a soulless job that demanded only conformity. Sick of struggling to keep his head above water, Srinivas quit his job and took to the waves, pursuing his dream of learning to surf. He also found the freedom to chart his own course. Interviewing more than five hundred creative people on his Unmistakable Creative podcast was the ultimate education. He heard how guests including Seth Godin, Elle Luna, Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, and Danielle LaPorte blazed their own trails. Srinivas blends his own story with theirs to tell you: You can find that courage too. Don?t be just one among many?be the only. Be unmistakable. Trying to be the best will chain you to others? definition of success. Unmistakable work, on the other hand, could only have been created by one person, so competition is irrelevant. Like Banksy?s art or Tim Burton?s films, unmistakable work needs no signature and has no precedent.
