An inspiring visual guide to a richer life. 

“If there’s a thinker to steal from, it’s Jessica Hagy.”—Austin Kleon, author of Steal Like an Artist and Newspaper Blackout


How to Be Interesting is passionate, positive, down-to-earth, and irrepressibly upbeat, combining fresh and pithy life lessons, often just a sentence or two, with deceptively simple diagrams and graphs. Each of the book’s more than 100 spreads will nudge readers a little bit further out of their comfort zones and into a place where suddenly everything is possible.

It’s about taking chance—but also about taking daily vacations. About being childlike, not childish. It’s about ideas, creativity, risk. It’s about trusting your talents and doing only what you want—but having the courage to get lost and see where the path leads. Because it’s what you don’t know that’s interesting.  

Genre:

  • Mind, Body, Spirit
  • Self-help
  • Personal Growth
  • General

Jessica Hagy is known for her Webby Award–winning blog Indexed and her cartoons, which appear regularly in the New York Times. She writes widely for national publications. Ms. Hagy lives with her family in Seattle.
