You want to leave a mark, not a blemish. Be a hero, not a
spectator. You want to be interesting. (Who doesn t?) But sometimes
it takes a nudge, a wake-up call, an intervention and a little
help. This is where Jessica Hagy comes in. A writer and illustrator
of great economy, charm, and insight, she s created How to Be
Interesting, a uniquely inspirational how-to that combines fresh
and pithy lessons with deceptively simple diagrams and charts.
Ms. Hagy started on Forbes.com, where she s a weekly blogger, by
creating a How to Be Interesting post that went viral, attracting
1.4 million viewers so far, with tens of thousands of them liking,
linking, and tweeting the article. Now she s deeply explored the
ideas that resonated with so many readers to create this small and
quirky book with a large and universal message. It s a book about
exploring: Talk to strangers. About taking chances: Expose yourself
to ridicule, to risk, to wild ideas. About being childlike, not
childish: Remember how amazing the world was before you learned to
be cynical. About being open: Never take in the welcome mat. About
breaking routine: Take daily vaca- tions . . . if only for a few
minutes. About taking ownership: Whatever you re doing, enjoy it,
embrace it, master it as well as you can. And about growing a pair:
If you re not courageous, you re going to be hanging around the
water cooler, talking about the guy that actually is."
