Synopsis

What would you achieve if you weren’t afraid of being laughed at?
In the age of “gotcha” culture, people are terrified to do anything that might be laughed at. Steve Sims is the exact opposite.
In Go For Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals, Steve teaches you how to ignore what everyone else thinks and go for big, stupid, ridiculous goals. From organizing a private dinner in front of Michaelangelo’s David to securing a tour of SpaceX led by Elon Musk himself, his accomplishments always start with the same questions: How far can I take this? What would make this a stupid achievement? Steve examines famously stupid goals in history, the key habits of successful people, and lessons from his own career to help you let go of your fear and get out of your own way.
If you do something amazing, you will be ridiculed until you are revered. Stop overthinking and go for ridiculous, stupid goals. Once you “go for stupid,” you open the door to the life you always dreamed about.

I haven’t written a review in a long time. This book was recommended by a friend who was apart of a new book club for people in the same industry as my profession. I got so many great nuggets.

I highly suggest listening to this book! The author is the reader and he has such a captivating voice and you really feel like you're just having a conversation with the guy rather than listening to a book This book was good, but I felt it resembled a lot of his first book BlueFishing.
