Glad I stumbled upon the brief audio summary of Chris Guillebeau’s book “Happiness of Pursuit” on Blinkist while doing my daily walk. Happy to go though this Google Talk too that seems to have happened some 8 years ago! Bravo Chris, you’re not just an inspiration but a great speaker too. And to all those to began taking baby steps towards materializing their quest and chasing their dreams, all the very best from me 💐
Chris is one of my indirect mentors! I was in the military and travelled to a few countries. Any time I go on his website and read an article, I feel very motivated! I m starting to have more respect for check lists. I have a daily check list, and an adventure checklist. It includes dancing, 8 month cooking course(plant base) horse riding etc. I just feel I need to do these things. Like Chris said, there is a burning desire inside of me that will not leave me alone! Thank you Chris!
Chris is a great guy. I'm currently reading his book, and I absolutely love it!
Good talk! I wonder how many Google employees attending the conference decided to quit their job afterwards!
Great points here. Thanks to chris, I went to 7 continents in 4 months and only paid $241 in flight costs. I love travel hacking
