A proposito di questo titolo
Introduction by Tony Hawk.
"You're weird." "Sorry." "No, that was a compliment." —Donnie Darko
When the whole world appears designed to make you just fit in, Misfit urges you to listen to your oddball self and seek out an original path.
Will it be easy? Predictable? Understood and supported by the masses? No.
But will it be dynamic, full of wild expression, and fill you with a joyful sense of discovery? Yes.
Sean Mortimer—a celebrated writer who started as a skateboarder alongside Tony Hawk—collaborates with internationally acclaimed misfits whose unconventional heat has warped how the world perceives music, sports and art. These iconic nonconformists did not start out as the celebrated renegades we see today. Each pushed through the initial pain and isolation of social rejection, overcoming self-doubt with erratic experimentation to reach a destination overflowing with conviction, gratitude, and their own version of success.
Steering readers through the subcultures of alternative music and sports, Dungeons & Dragons, “illegal” art and other disenfranchised movements, Misfit shows how deep drive, relentless innovation and unregulated creativity are the survival skills of misfit life. Detailing stories of awkward childhoods, teenage angst and unconventional adulthood from game changing outcasts, Mortimer demonstrates how the will to break rules, fight blind obedience, and reject “normal” ultimately sparks a curiosity that leads to a new form of confidence and a thriving, open-minded approach to life.
Recensioni della critica
“Misfit is loaded with unconventional wisdom rendered from genuine societal outsiders. Mortimer delivers a tome that is a highly motivational must read. Herein are revealed the specifications for unbounded revolution.”—CR Stecyk, Counter Culture Historian/ Artist
“Sean Mortimer has mapped the secret passages of nonconformity, at long last shining a light on the legends who built our community of dissidents. He’s the Vonnegut of the disenfranchised, and Misfit is required reading for everyone who lives—or wants to live—a life less ordinary. It’s brilliant, irreverent, and dangerously inspiring.”—Bret Anthony Johnston, internationally bestselling author of Remember Me Like This
“Whether I’ve wanted to or not, I’ve been on the misfit path my whole life. In Misfit, not only has Sean collected some of our culture’s most influential renegades, but he’s also distilled how nurturing your authentic self is the most satisfying way to live.”—Christian Jacobs, co-creator of Yo Gabba Gabba!
“If you need the bravery to rise above the system, bare it all, read this book, look within and you can probably change the world with what is special in you.”—Michelle "Estrojen" Steilen
“Sean’s always had a razor-sharp eye for the hustlers, weirdos, and true originals who actually move culture. Misfit: a Survival Guide is a field manual for creative outsiders—funny, honest, and packed with hard-won lessons. If you’ve ever built something from nothing, this book will feel like a nod from a fellow troublemaker. It’s a reminder that the path less traveled is usually the one worth taking.”—Roger Gastman, creator of Beyond the Streets
