Great read; inspiring and very action-oriented, which I love. The best part about your message though is that it takes hard work. Keep up the great work, and good luck on your worldly adventures.

It had been a while since I last nodded so much. My motivation not to conform was coming down from a recent peak when I began having doubts about feasibility, and this brought it back up and beyond.

I think the following is a great compliment to what you have done here, Chris: you will hear from me soon

Thank you!

I’m so glad I stumbled upon a site that led me to your site. It has been my goal since I made my second trip to Peru at the age of 16 to visit every country in the world and somehow significantly change the living conditions in all of them. I still have no idea how I’m going to do all that but your site has inspired me in so many ways. You’re definitely my new hero and eventually I will have read everything on your site. As of right now I’m still wondering if I should wait for my bachelors degree or if I should jsut take off. I’ll probably wait for that degree but I’ll still do a lot of traveling in the mean time. Thank you so much for doing what you’re doing and making this site, you have given me so much inspiration.

I’ve been grappling with the desire to live a life less ordinary. I’m a college student in the arts and I’m tired of having no answer to: “What are you going to do with that?” I’ve had no answer because I don’t want to do anything ordinary with it, and I’m afraid to explain that to people.

I now know I’m not the only person who tells their friends that they want to start world movements. I’m not the only person who dives into something untried, and without the right qualification, simply because I’m passionate about it.

I’ve wanted to commit any possible future monetary gains made through the outsourced children’s picture book I’m creating to a charity that will help children in need. I didn’t want to tell others because I didn’t want people to think I was doing this simply to get attention or approval. Yet I felt I had to give in order to throw all my passion into it without guilt.

Thanks for the reminder that the things worth living for are the things done for others.

I am going to start with the three goals, do them, then write three more to do method so I do not get overwhelmed with this. Thanks so much!

Goal 1. First, we take Manhattan….

[...] I rewarded myself by reading Chris Guillebeau’s Brief Guide to World Domination. [...]

I’m gonna conquer the world! A social movement of being respectful and grateful to the environment, democratizing of the corporations, social security and a new world economy by micro businesses and individuals!

BTW, can the PDF report be formatted more ebook-friendly?

Keep up the fantastic work!

Read about your site in Psychology Today, and it is quickly becoming an addiction for me!

My husband and I both grew up in little boxes in the suburbs and have spent most of our adult lives being told to get a mortgage, have kids, get a “good job” with a 401K etc. etc….all the things that “normal” people do to prepare for their “future” while drudging through the present.

We’ve recently moved away from our families in Florida to Atlanta–after reading about all the things you’ve done it’s both inspiring and quite funny to think of how critical everyone in Florida was of this small move! (You can’t move without a job! Georgia’s so far! lol).

Being away from the “noise” we’re finally starting to see the real possibilities that are out there. I’d like to start a business with my husband, live in many different cities and travel the world. Thank you for your site and the inspiration it’s providing me–can’t wait to read more!

I just read the manifesto, which is excellent timing in my life. Having been ever-inpatient with the status quo, and drowning now as a desk jockey, my hurdles in life have been fear and expectations. Thanks for the “encouragement.”

What do I want out of life? To increase tolerance and appreciation of diversity in our global world.

What do I have to offer? Unwavering child-like optimism.

Now on to a plan…
