One thing I'm doing is that rather than losing myself in all the machinations of the insanity that is the current news cycle, I decided to make sure I'm giving all my attention to things that matter. I'm making great progress - and so when it comes out, it will be book #40 (or #41 if I count the novel I wrote when I was 15 years old, The Lion's Den.)</p><p>The book itself? It flips from here and there as I build the case as to why being unique in a conformity-oriented world is something that will get you ahead. There's a chapter about Oblio from The Point, the 1971 Harry Niilson movie about a fellow with a round head who lived in a land where everyone had a pointed head, who then discovered his uniqueness by wandering off into the Pointed Forest and meeting The Rockman. (It's the 70s. You had to be there).</p><p>This precedes an entire chapter devoted to the work of Thomas Kuhn, the author of the 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, outlining why his theories about scientific change lay out the case for uniqueness. This comes after the book opens with the famous quote by Steve Jobs about hiring the 'oddballs, the misfits, the rebels', and then takes apart the power of his thinking.</p><p>I'm extremely pleased with the progress I've made in the last few days. - I'm building what I think is a compelling case for the vital importance of uniqueness in a world increasingly defined by rapid change and disruptive innovation. When everyone is doing the same thing, it's important to do a different thing - and so by embracing our uniqueness, and actively challenging the pressures to conform, we can unleash our potential.</p><p>As Steve Jobs aptly stated, it is through embracing our unique "craziness" that we can truly make a difference and "put a ding in the universe."</p><p>Because being unique matters.</p><p>It's going to be an epic book.
