It caused me to think deeply about the next stage of life, which involved going to every country and eventually starting a blog that became a whole new career.

From Chris' list on thinking differently and live unconventionally.
A dream is just a dream until you write it down – then it becomes a plan. This book provides practical approaches to turning dreams into goals and plans.
